Pros: Very light structure, finally a 600mm F4 that can be used freehand. Mounted on A1+BG+2 Batterie+2CFA in "heavy" configuration, it detaches the 4.4kg of total weight (impressive how light it is), if you remove the BG and a battery you raise an additional 800gr to the combo, making it even lighter. Superfast, the speed of MAF is something "embarrassing", from the point of view of focus targets and tracking speed, I had several long speeds (Nikon), but this overwhelms them greatly, begins to lose a thread of speed with the TC2X grafted, almost inperceptible. Razor Sharp: I do not think it is necessary to add anything else, as it is sharp and resolving when the TC2.0x. Magnetic alignment hood is also mounted, which facilitates the batting of the same on the base of the canvas (nice find). Confirmation click 90 degrees when rotated on its axis (disengagable), really a nice surprise. The tapered and collected shape, unites it, for weight and features more to a 500mm than actually to a 600 F4. Fantastic I would say.
Cons: Cost, even if on Sony, compared to other brands, you can file the price, and get a little discount, repeated at the suggested purchase price, really high. The only downside that I would like to point out is therefore the price.
Opinion: Finally, after 7 long months of "agony", Sony Italia I delivered to me, in its beautiful briefcase (identical to the nikon I had previously on the 600 FL F4, will they work together??), and what to say, if love did not click immediately, maybe something more I think. The combo, as mentioned in the sec. Pro, it is really freehand swingable, really a featherweight, leaves the brandability of the lens + camera system, with an ideal weight distribution and that does not tire, this perhaps the real plus, together with the multiplicity that seems "native", and the speed and precision of focus, which leave you stunned, if you are not used to it and first impression. Used on A1 (it will also be thanks to the machine), it has a sudden rate of fire and unattainable today by any canvas on the market, the only way to understand it is to try them together, pure enjoyment. In combination with its TC 1.4x/2.0x it reaches 1200mm that can be used in AF as if they were 850mm, which leaves you speechless. If I had to give a definitive end to this lens, I would only say: high. |
