The AF-S 600mm f/4G ED VR Lens from Nikon is a high performance fast super telephoto prime lens for Nikon F mount cameras. It is compatible with both FX- and DX-format DSLRs and provides 900mm focal length equivalence on DX-format cameras. It is a robust and durable lens incorporating a magnesium die-cast barrel and professional-grade dust and moisture sealing allows it to be used in more rugged situations. It is extraordinarily long reaching and is effective for drawing in distant subjects and serves well those involved in sports and wildlife photography as well as other ultra-telephoto applications.

question
Since purchasing this lens, though she is quite heavy, would you have chosen the 500mm instead-less weight same quality a little less reaching capabilities or reach farther and go for the 800mm tripod mounted lens build up your muscles and gain more in the long run? If cost was not an issue respectfully.
NO,THE 600mm VR IS THE BEST FOR BIRDING!!! BEST COMPROMISE!!! AN 800mm 5.6cost's $18,000 DOLLARS!!! A 600mm f/4 WORKS FOR HANDHELD FLIGHT SHOOTING,IN APINCH,BUT IS FINE ON A MONOPOD!!! AND ON A GIMBAL HEAD WITH THE TC-14-E-II orIII,BECOMES AN 840mm f/5.6 THAT WILL OUTSHOOT ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE PRICE!!!

question
I'm ready to purchase, but would like to know what's the warranty on the lens, and who covers it? Thanks
The USA lens would come with Nikon USAs warranty, which would be a 5-year warranty (first year international, remaining four years USA only). The Imported lens would come with a one-year warranty from B&H.

question
Besides the difference in weight, would the FL version of this lens be any better than the VR ? Optics would be my only comparison. A tad difference in AF response may not matter much to me.
Be careful, BOTH versions have VR. The newest version has updated optics and is lighter. It is the best of both worlds. That is why Nikon discontinued the older version.

question
What is the difference between this lens and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens, other than around a $4000 price difference?
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 600mm f/4G ED VR listed above was originally released in 2007. The new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR lens, released last year in 2015, uses Nikon's latest technology providing enhanced autofocus tracking and improved optical performance, with fluorite lens elements which help in both reducing chromatic aberration and decreasing the weight of the lens. The new lens weighs 8.3 lbs (as opposed to the 11.5 lbs of the lens you list above, almost 3 lbs lighter, which will be advantageous for long sports games or wildlife shooting). The new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens also has an electromagnetic diaphragm to assist in maintaining consistent exposures when shooting fast action and using continuous burst shooting.
