Pros: Speed, versatility and weight

Cons: Sharpness after 400mm

Opinion: After more than a year of use, I don't feel like recommending this lens. I come from a Sigma 150-600 Sport, a lens that is certainly heavier but also very sharp. My intent was to lighten the setup without sacrificing image quality, but unfortunately it didn't work out that way. Up to about 400mm the performance is good, but going further I found a noticeable drop: the images are often not very incised, with a feeling of micro-blur even using a tripod and a suitable head. A behavior that I did not expect. I used this lens on both Z8 and Z6, but on both I never found that level of detail that you often read about online. For those looking for maximum sharpness (which a zoom can give) and cannot afford a top-of-the-range fixed lens, I personally would not recommend it. For wildlife photography from a hide, I would rather evaluate solutions such as a 500 PF with F mount or the new 600 PF. For a travel use, which was my case, I struggle to find a real alternative to recommend... but this lens, for me, was a disappointment.... maybe it's just my defective model...
