Nikon AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6E

Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E
I was not aware of the Nikon 200-500; it peeked my interest in  the lens. when I learned about it.

After careful consideration and analysis of the Nikon 200-500mm, Sigma 150-600mm, Tamron 150-600mm, and Fuji 100-400mm, the lens I liked the most was the Tamron.  However, I was aware of the Tamron when it was first announced and I was never interested in the lens. Why am I considering this focal length?  The only reason is because it is a Nikon in the line of the legendaries Nikkor long lenses. Firstly, I do not need it. I have enough with my Tamron 70-300, which I am yet to use in a shoot.  Lastly, the Nikon is too heavy for me (4.6 lbs.) Therefore, I'm not getting any very long lens.

Fuji X-T2
I am done with my "fire sale." I will not do this again.  It was very hard for me. I kept changing my mind which lenses to sell. I have enough to pay for the Leica Q with some change to spare ($1,100.) The Q is now my main camera - a game changer.  However, I'm not done selling, just the "fire sale." I just pre-ordered the X-T2 from B&H. Delivery estimated the first two weeks of October. Therefore, I will have to sell the T10, a camera I really like.  I cannot have everything.  I will write about my decision in a new post.
