[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 582147, member: 24285"] I can't follow the techno-gargon that Nikon spins out about this lens but apparently the "e" on 5.6e does make a difference. Half a stop better than the competition (which makes a big difference when mounting a 1.4 TC) But apparently it has "e"xtra special F stops. Whatever they did they have a winner. I know that long primes are thousands but I do find it amusing to see it called a "Budget lens". In Canada it is retailing close to two grand after taxes. (e.g. [URL]https://photographylife.com/nikon-200-500mm-vs-tamron-150-600mm-vs-sigma-150-600mm-c[/URL] ) I suppose "budget" is all relative. On the other hand compared to the other 200-500mm on the market I guess it is a bargain. Of course that green "Bigma" is a 2.8.
