I'd like those photographers switching to the 400 f4.5 Z + TC and freeing up their 500 F5.6 PF + TCs. The used market offers those of us shopping for the latter with a much bigger choice than was the case just a couple of months ago

Thanks for sharingThis is my preferred combo for birding560mm being a tad short for most birds based on my experienceI would even venture to shoot at 1200mm APSC mode as needed to get that close up of the birdIf only I can get my hands on 1 of these 400mm f4.5The 2X TC is feeling lonely at home for a while nowCheers,
