I don’t have either the TC or the 80-400mm. I’ve shied away from the TC because of the loss of an f-stop. The crop sensor camera gives me pretty good reach. Would love to get a mirrorless camera, just not there yet…

Hi David,

The D500 with the 200-500 would be perfect for a DeSoto IPT. That was my first Nikon lens and I used it with a full frame body. You could do the whole IPT with just that lens. Many mornings I go out with only the Sony 200-600 and make a variety of great images. Do you own the TC-E14? And/or the 80-400mm?

with love, artie
