I photograph my kids’ sporting events and from 150-200’ away using just a monopod, I can see individual eyebrow hairs. This lens is wonderful. The only drawback is the bokeh doesn’t blur very much if the subject is mixed in with other objects or people who are within 20 feet. But for the difference in price to the next model up, I can justify saving $8000.

The Sony G series 200 - 600 mm f5.6 - f6.3 is a very good choice for the price. Sharp all the way through. I prefer to shoot with this lens on a monopod or tripod due to the weight, but with it’s optical stabilization you could handhold. Because of its size, I bought a Lowpro LP36776 Lens Trekker 600 AW lll backpack. I carry my monopod, extra batteries a second camera and lens on outside attached case (sold separately). The lens and camera are stored in the backpack and ready to use. The lens goes from 200mm to 600mm in a quarter turn of the barrel. Very easy to zoom in or out for sports applications.
I highly recommend this lens!

The lens is great, the auto systems are sharp and fast. Great for wildlife,sports and events. I would say though that the aperture could be better if it was F4 but that’s my own opinion of what to use for sharper images

Love this lens, I use it on my Sony A7R4, 600mm is great but in crop mode it goes to 900mm, game changer right there! Love the internal zooming and the stability is great. I shoot air shows with it and its does excellent.

I have been looking at buying a super telephoto lense for a while. I have considered buying a Tamron lense with similar focal length but getting a Sony lense within reasonable price range have me go for this one. My only issue with Bestbuy online purchaes is that they shipped this expensive lense in its original packaging only and not in a bigger box. On top of that the box was kot even sealed with tape, when I received it, it was missing lense strap and also lense cover. Return the lense and received replacent in couple of days same way but this time received everything in it. Maybe in future when I am purchasing something expensive, I will buy it in person inside the store only. 4 stars and not 5 stars for shipping and packaging reasons.
