Hello Nassim, I am a big fan of your site ! I had a question on the Nikkon AF-S Nikkor 600mm f4 IF-ED II: I noticed on other sites/reviews that they mention a MFD of 6m and a weight of 5900g i.o. 5.6m and 4750g in your file. Would you be so kind to double check and let me know who is right ? Thanks ! Bernard
The lens mentioned above is the improved version – see „II“ – which has been modified compared to the first AF-S version of the 600mm f4. All the above date are right for this version. (MFD 6m and 5900g weight are also correct, but only for the first version). The II version has also two tripod mounting feet, which you can replace.
