LONG VIDEO - USE THE CHAPTERS TO NAVIGATE TO THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE VIDEO!
We compare the Nikon 180-600mm Z mount lens and the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E lenses from Nikon on the Nikon Z9 in the field. We compare AF performance, hit rate, and color rendition. We take to task the questions of if you are trying to decide on the 2 lenses o if you own the 200-500, should you upgrade to the 180-600.
