2022 Muscle Beach Memorial Day flyby. This is a still of the C-130J Hercules Flyby. The plane was in focus coming and and all the way out. It did shift to some palm tress when the plane crossed.
This lens is fabulous. Will be taking to shoot fighters soon. LOVE IT. If you are on the fence. Do it. You will be very happy with the performance of this Sony lens.
Amazing clarity and reach

I wanted a lens I could carry in the field while using binoculars. This is the absolute limit of what I am willing to carry in terms of weight and size. Even if I were willing to shell out for an f4 or larger, I would not want to carry it in the field. I carry this lens on a sling attached to the foot and can swing it up quickly to get off shots while birding. At 600mm you wont typically fill the frame shooting birds, but it is pretty incredible what you can capture on a modern sensor and using AI in post. I have gotten really good results with tight cropping and post-processing.
Great wildlife and bird lens.

I bought this lens with some doubt on its sharpness. However I'm very pleased with the results, its sharp at 600mm wide open and gets even better if stopped down at least 1 stop. I love the smoothness of the zoom and quick 200-600 zoom with a very short rotation of the barrel of about 1/4 turn. The focus works really well with my a1, locking on and staying locked on even when I'm using eye focus on birds. This lens is amazing considering the price.
So glad I bought this lens.

I really agonized over this purchase. However, after reading various reviews I agree that it is a lightweight high quality lens. The AF is responsive and accurate under most conditions and the stabilization is fantastic.
Great wildlife lens

Just finished my first shoot, photographing birds and really like this lens. The weight is very good for handheld use and the sharpness is as good as my 100-400 G master
Amazing Lens!

I am a first time DSLR camera user but my experience with this lens was awesome! Was able to capture some amazing photos and once I learn more tricks of how to fully use its potential I am confident I will be even more pleased. It was nice that it came with the UV filter at basically no extra charge!
Good for Nikon Z users, too

I am a longtime Nikon user, and I had been looking forward to the release of Nikon's own 200-600mm zoom for the Z mount. This apparently won't happen for a while, however, so I was glad to discover that Z camera owners can utilize Sony E lenses through the use of a Megadap MTZ 11 adapter (new version). I decided to try this, and the experiment has been quite a success. The Sony lens is sharp throughout its zoom range, and its internal zooming and focusing renders it easy to handle and well-balanced. If there is any diminution of performance in terms of tracking and focusing I can't discern this. The Sony zoom is a fantastic lens, even on my Z7 and Z9 cameras.
