Lens for the Nikon D850

I was somewhat amazed that the Nikkor 200-500 f5.6 lens was not listed as a recommended lens for the D850? Any ideas as to why it was not listed? Here is a link to the recommended list: https://www.dpreview.com/news/5585760175/nikon-releases-official-d850-lens-recommendation-list?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2017-october-12&ref_=pe_1822230_257209870_dpr_nl_280_15

Lens for this camera must be the best of the crop. If it did not make the list it is because it is good but just not good enough.

Note that DPR is owned by Amazon and has been known to push some products more than others...

I too, was wondering that; seems the D850 would love this lens!

When you buy a D850 or any high end DSLR, you get the double whammy...an expensive camera along with very expensive recommended lens.

There have been 'whispers' that the lenses that didn't make the list won't work with some of the cameras new functions. Like focus stacking. I don't know how much truth is in that but............

Here's the "real" list and the 200-500 is included:

FWIW, I find the 200-500 to give good results on the D850 for wildlife, especially if you keep the eye of the subject inside of the 1.2X crop area (not that you have to shooting in 1.2x crop, just keep the eye inside there for best results - this assumes the eye is the focal point of course).

Steve, do you still use your D500?

It appears that Perry's link, has a wagon load of lenses, that are recommended for use on the new D850. The 200-500mm included.
