Product Manuals

Q: What is the minimum focusing distance of this Sony lens?
A: The minimum focusing distance of this lens is 8 inches.
Q: What type of glass does this Sony lens use?
A: This lens utilizes ED glass, which contributes to faster focusing, enhanced color saturation, improved contrast, and greater image detail.
Q: Is this Sony lens compatible with a tripod?
A: Yes, the lens is tripod/monopod mountable.
Q: How does the Sony lens handle dust and moisture?
A: The lens is designed to be dustproof and moisture-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use.
Q: What is the maximum aperture of this Sony lens?
A: The Sony lens has a maximum aperture of f/5.6.
Q: Would this lens be good for college hockey?
A: On a full frame camera the 200mm range is a bit long for a small arena. You may be better off with the 100 to 400mm unless you are sitting in the nose bleed seats, then yes it will work. But on an APSC camera it will start at 300mm with the crop factor of 1.5 and then really may not work well. Also it starts at F5.6 so the ISO will have to be higher in low light indoor events and may cause a grainy pic.

Great Lense
I'm a long time photographer, and have always wanted to own a good telephoto lense. After much reviewing and saving I was able to get this 200-600mm zoom lense. After a little time with it, here are some of my pros and cons: Pros: Works with my mirrorless Sony camera with no need for adapters. Amazing zoom quality. Solid internal zoom, so no need to account for more lense casing. Rotatable tripod mount. (Allows for rotating between portraite and landscape photos without relying on flimsy tripod tilt mounts) Quiet auto focus, and so the animals aren't scared. Cons: Weight (5lbs starts to hurt the shoulders and arms after a long session of photos) Slightly steep learning curve, I feel as though due to the lense size itself, it can receive a larger amount of light and so you need to be sure on your cameras settings. Focal distance. (8ft minimal focus distance is quite a ways off if you are looking to get some floral shots) Overall, I really do love this lense. If you are an amateur, professional or just an enthusiast in general, you won't regret this beauty.

Sony 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 Lens Great Photograhy Tool
This Sony 200-600mm is my first longer lens purchase. I researched several lenses and decided on this Sony product. Technical and user reviews guided me to the Sony. And, the price was within my budget. I am a nature photography enthusiast and certainly not a professional, but this lens meets my needs and then some. As with any new lens, there's a learning curve - but, for me, that's part of the enjoyment. This lens is heavier than any other you may use. It's possible to shoot free-hand, but after a relatively short time, your arms will fatigue and, for close-up shots, holding the camera/lens still enough can be a real challenge. I use a monopod for stability which works great and is much more portable than a tripod. Check the specifications for the lens and your camera (info available on Sony's website), but my understanding is this lens is compatible with Sony alpha series cameras: I currently use it with a Sony a6000 (I don't use a teleconverter). I really like this lens and look forward to capturing some great images.

Amazing AF and Sharpness
Definitely worth the price! This lens has amazing autofocus and is tack sharp even for getting shots of birds in flight! Definitely big, and heavy and doesn’t fit in my large camera bag, but it’s a must have lens for nature/wildlife photographers!
