the Nikon PF lenses are remarkably light, but nothing beats OM 4/3 set up. I used to have an OM1 with 100-400mm and it was a great portable system. I think the 150-600mm adds a couple pounds to that, but still lighter than any Nikon set up. And then there is the “god mode“ option with the 150-400mm!
