Q: QuestionWould this lense work with the Sony a6000 without an adapter?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYesAnswered by Deki
Q: QuestionWould this lens be good for college hockey?(3 answers)
A: AnswerOn a full frame camera the 200mm range is a bit long for a small arena. You may be better off with the 100 to 400mm unless you are sitting in the nose bleed seats, then yes it will work. But on an APSC camera it will start at 300mm with the crop factor of 1.5 and then really may not work well. Also it starts at F5.6 so the ISO will have to be higher in low light indoor events and may cause a grainy pic.Answered by HowardS
Q: QuestionWhy is the Sony 100-400, f/4.5-5.6 more expensive than this lens? A lot more expensive.(2 answers)
A: AnswerWider F-stop (4.5) means bigger lens opening, which means can shoot in lower light level. Also means glass lenses are bigger so costs more than the 600 mm lens. I use 600 for outside sports as well as bird pics that are well lit, and needed longer range than the 400 offered.Answered by JimmyDfromTN

She's a big girl and an amazing shot
I've had 'Big Bertha' for about 6 months now, and she never disappoints. The shots come out clean and clear. I do need to find a better tri/monopod that can support her weight and a new backpack as well so she can stay in with her other lens siblings and not sleeping outside lol. I don't regret the money I spent on her one but! The moon photo i attached was from our last supermoon. I messed with the ISO settings to get it really black around it.

Great Sony full frame telephoto zoom lens!
The Sony G series 200 - 600 mm f5.6 - f6.3 is a very good choice for the price. Sharp all the way through. I prefer to shoot with this lens on a monopod or tripod due to the weight, but with it’s optical stabilization you could handhold. Because of its size, I bought a Lowpro LP36776 Lens Trekker 600 AW lll backpack. I carry my monopod, extra batteries a second camera and lens on outside attached case (sold separately). The lens and camera are stored in the backpack and ready to use. The lens goes from 200mm to 600mm in a quarter turn of the barrel. Very easy to zoom in or out for sports applications. I highly recommend this lens!

Real good lens if you are ready to carry it.
This is a lens if you don't want to need 1,4x or 2x converters that will take one or two stops of light away from other shorter lenses. great for wild life, compressed landscapes. Not a lens for a beginner. It takes some skill to use. its heavy but if you are OK with that it can be great.
