    This is the best mid range telephoto lens I've ever owned. Unbelievable clarity when hooked up to my a7r3. Focus is very fast even in low light.

    First of it is really good lens when actually taking pictures, BUT it does have one MAJOR flaw. The zoom expands by gravity when carrying lens and camera. It is extremely annoying and causes issues ALL the time for me. The simpler G 70-200 is much easier to deal with this way. My older Canon lenses do not have this issue either.

    This lens is great. It’s short focusing distance along with the long focal almost mimics a macro lens, and 400mm gets you quite a view. Coupled with one of Sony’s high megapixel R series cameras, you are sure to have a winner.

    This new Sony 100-400 lens is great. Used it on my A7RII and lent it to a friend who used it on his A9. Focuses quickly and tracks superbly on the A9. would recommend to anyone...

    It is a well built lens and serves as a good walk around lens. It is a bit expensive and not as sharp as it's big brother the 200-600mm which serves as the better choice for birding and wildlife photography.
