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

excellent build quality. Very sharp. Fast focus, great colors. Works great with Sony mirrorless cameras.
The only negatives are size and weight, You have to use a tripod or a monopod.

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.

Beast of a Lens

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.

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.

This is a beast of a lens. It is not light by any means (I usually have it mounted on a monopod) however the image quality is superb. Go for the 1.4X teleconverter if you want even more reach.

You'll definitely need to have a tripod on hand whenever using this lens. Especially if you're using it on a mirrorless camera like I have. There's too much weight to distribute and balance, so try to remember to not leave home without a tripod when you got out shooting with it.
I was impressed with the quality of the shots I received for a 5.6-6.3 lens. Great tool to have in your arsenal when you want to shoot wildlife.
