Anyone got their hands on one yet? If so thoughts? I had an unexpected email from LCE today, said they had one with my name on it if I wanted it, I certainly did so hopefully have it on my camera on Monday, I loved my D500 and 200-500 combo and hoping this will be every bit as good with benefit of internal zoom etc
 
Mine will be with me on Monday, hopefully try it out after work.

update, it’s just been delivered. As I expected it’s quite heavy, but that’s comparing it to my 400mm Z. Also the tripod collar could have been better designed , but no doubt there will be a better one on the market soon. On my way down to the marsh later, hopefully short eared owls will be about.

Mine was due Monday but no one will be home so had to postpone until Tuesday, typical Nikon will always need to change to Kirk or similar foot
 
I'm looking forward to some reviews and comparisons from people I trust.
My main use case leads me to the 100-400mm but may be persuaded to go for the 180-600mm dependant on real testing.
 
Not sure if all of them are the same but the collar on mine feels rough, you can hear what sounds like grating as it rotates, not a big thing but annoying as all the others I have had are always smooth.

Mines the same, very poor quality.
 
Steve Parry has just released a new video on YouTube about the 180-600 and makes for interesting watching.
