Monster Lens
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this lens to add to my kit to shoot wildlife and fast moving objects. I switched from a sigma 100-400 lens. This lens shoots better for wildlife, however, it is quite a bit heavier than any other lens I know. I have to use it with a monopod if I'm shooting for long periods of time. It's hard to get objects sharp but there's some learning curve to it. Remember your buttons on the side because THEY DO MATTER. Change that focus for infinity or closer if need be. Overall, its a great lens!

Certainly worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own the Sony 100-400mm lens as well and this lens, though not a G Master lens, is certainly its equal in autofocus speed and sharpness. The extra weight is what you pay for the extra 200mm of reach but I think its a more-than-fair trade off. I used the 100-400mm with the Sony 1.4x tele-extender and I feel I get better speed in the autofocus and better resolution with the 200-600mm.

great for wildlife
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.awesome! this lens is known for occasionally being soft but that hasn't been the case for me, so I did not get a lemon that's for sure. I was lucky to get this at the very discounted open box price. Great lens for birding! If you aren't a big strong person you will definitely want to plan on using this with a tripod 99% of the time - I am a petite woman and it's nearly impossible for me to get a clear shot without any motion blur if I am using this thing without a tripod or monopod

Its called Best Buy for a reason -- Great lens!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Title: Unparalleled Lens with Reliable Protection! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) The Sony 200-600mm G lens is simply phenomenal. Its versatile focus range lets me shoot distant or close subjects with ease. The rapid autofocus and image stabilization ensure sharp, blur-free photos every time. Despite its powerful features, the lens remains compact and durable, standing up to various weather conditions. The purchase experience at Best Buy was seamless, and the added assurance of their warranty made me feel secure about this investment. In short, this lens is a top-notch addition to any camera setup, and I couldn't be happier with the quality and protection offered by Best Buy.

photoman forever
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice lens, not too heavy, don't need a real fast lens with the improvements in quality using higher ISOs, love the smooth internal zoom, a teleconverter works great on it for some real powerful zoom.

Excellent super telephoto lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!!

Great Lens
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Tamron 150-600mm G1 lens before this lens. This lens is fantastic amd much sharperthan the Tamron. I like that it does not get larger as you zoom in on a subject, its all internal.

Nice lens and sharp
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not an inexpensive lens and there are others out there lesser expensive. Having recently put it to the test in the wilderness...the lens is sharp and internal zoom is great for maintaining balance either handheld or on tripod/monopod.

amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing lens especially for the price. It is about as heavy as you would expect but you can still shoot without a monopod. it’s viciously sharp and i’ve pulled of some nice background blur on wildlife shots. well worth the money

Great option to pair with high end camera
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for the solar eclipse in April, 2024. Being in totality, this worked as expected. The quality is great, but the real workhorse of the picture is the camera, not the lens. Still, it took some OK pictures with an Alpha6x

Great Lens!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is one of my favorites in my collection. It is great for birds/wildlife and takes clear and sharp photos. The large size does take some getting used to, but the size of the lens just comes with the territory of a lens of this capability.
