    "great lens...This is the best mid range telephoto lens I've ever owned. Unbelievable clarity when hooked up to my a7r3. ...Sony's best zoom lens for travel....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."
