    Used this glass on a lockdown weekend in a wetland park in LA...it’s not a fast lens in terms of aperture but it’s good enough if you have a high ISO camera like the Sony A7iii or Sony A9

    This zoom lens is almost perfect. I finally feel like I’m getting the reach I need when shooting wildlife, and being able to add a 1.4 teleconverter makes this lens an incredible 280-840mm, with sharpness only taking a small hit (impressive since I’m shooting on a demanding 61mp sensor). This lens is not as tack sharp as the Sony 100-400mm, and it’s certainly more bulky to carry around, but the pros definitely outweigh any negatives I can find.

    I’ve enjoyed this lens a lot since I bought it. I have gotten 100x better photos than my other lenses. Quality and sharpness is great. For the price to distance it is phenomenal. Highly recommend. An internal telephoto lens is a big game changer as well. Sharp photos pairing with an A7V.

    The birds asked me to practice a little more social distancing, so I got this lens for my A7RIV. I am impressed by the level of detail I can achieve with this lens. It's usually quick enough to focus on small, fidgety birds. It does a respectable job on cloudy or overcast days. My only struggle is the weight. It's not the easiest lens to carry around on a long hike. The arms and shoulders get tired after an hour of shooting handheld.

    This lens is a beast! But being a beast, comes with size and weight! Just be ready for how massive it is. I’ve used it for nature and sports video/photo and it has been great with my Sony A7sIII. Sharp and durable, but not easy to climb mountains with it on your back.

    Excellent built quality. Solid functionality with an internal zoom which makes this lens an even more ideal super telephoto lens. Surprisingly, lens is much lighter than it looks. Overall, I’m very pleased with quality, design, functionality of this lens. The price, on the other hand, is quite high!!!

    Bought for bird photography to get a little more reach and was not disappointed. Images are tack-sharp, zoom is internal with a nice short throw. Only complaint, its not the best for hiking, but its probably the smallest full frame 600mm you're gonna find.

    Overall pleased with this lens. Not particularly thrilled at the weight, but that is somewhat expected. Image quality is good, that too expected. I chose this specifically because the zoom is internal, the lens does not extend which given the weight could have an impact in some situations.
