Pros:Sharpness even with 61mpx sensor, autofocus speed, internal zoom, construction, price!
Cons:Lack of zoom ring lock
Opinion:Here we are after more than two years of use in the field, I can make a review of this unique optics. Unique because there are no lenses under 2000 euros, which are sharp at full aperture with a 61mpx sensor, and especially at 600mm like this!!! I know that someone will have to object, but when I read reviews of optics that have been tried for a week, even by one day!, or tried at home or in the garden (I'm talking about optics for nature photography), my knees fall. Not to mention those who compare lenses to 400mm or 500mm with this one. We all know that doing nature photography you are always short, so this lens must be compared with optics that reach 600mm. All zoom lenses (not fixed) that reach 600mm, have a dizzying drop from 500mm upwards, with dense full frame sensors. This one is not! At an incredible resolution even at 600 mm. This was the only real reason, in spite of myself that made me switch from Canon to Sony for nature photography (I still use Canon for other genres), I assure you that in Canon I was fine, and I would like to go back as soon as possible if there was a lens like this! Let's be clear a masterpiece has been made, internal zoom, weight 2115 grams, well balanced with battery grip, 600 mm at f6.3 all under 1850 euros! Fast and accurate autofocus even in low light. I'm not a lover of multipliers so I can't give my impression. I can only assure you that at full aperture it has the same quality as when it closes, so if you do not need to have more depth of field it is useless to close to increase sharpness.
Pros:VERSATILITY, WEIGHT, AUTOFOCUS (ALSO WITH MULTIPLIER)1.4X, INTERNAL ZOOM, COLORS, MINIMUM FOCUSING DISTANCE, SHARPNESS, SILENT, WEIGHT BALANCE, SMOOTH AND PRECISE FOCUS RING, CONSTRUCTION
Cons:COLLAR FOR TRIPOD WITHOUT THE CLICK OF THE DEGREES , LACK OF THE SET BUTTON
Opinion:PURCHASED IN JULY 2021 THIS LENS IMMEDIATELY GAVE ME SATISFACTION, IT HAS A PRECISE AND FAST AUTOFOCUS EVEN WITH THE 1.4X TELECONVERTER. THE CONSTRUCTION IS GREAT, YOU FEEL IT IS SOLID AND BUILT TO WITHSTAND RAIN AND CHALLENGING PHOTO SESSIONS. WHEN YOU USE IT YOU NOTICE THE WEIGHT AND THE BALANCE REALLY GOOD. I USE THIS LENS ON AN A7RIV AND I MUST SAY THAT YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC SHARPNESS TO BE A ZOOM FROM F6.3 ONWARDS (OF COURSE... THE BEST OF IF YOU GET IT FROM F9 TO F13 ), BUT ALSO AT F6.3 IT PERFORMS VERY WELL. HAVING A LENS RANGING FROM 200 TO 600 ALLOWS YOU NOT ONLY TO MAKE FAUNA AND BIRDS BUT ALSO LANDSCAPE (THINK THAT I ALSO USE IT TO MAKE MACRO FOR ITS SHARPNESS AND ITS MINIMUM DISTANCE). SURELY HAVING ALSO A 61MP CAMERA BODY HELPS ME A LOT IN THE MACRO BEING ABLE TO MAKE EVEN POWERFUL CUTOUTS, BUT OFTEN AND WILLINGLY I DO NOT EVEN CROP THEM (SURELY MY HARD-DISK AND MY CLOUD ARE NOT VERY HAPPY :) :). TO DO PHOTOGRAPHIC HUNTING AND 'ALSO EXCELLENT FOR ITS SILENCE' AND TRANSPORTABILITY' GIVEN ITS BALANCE. HONESTLY THE LACK OF CLICKS WHEN YOU TURN THE LENS ON THE COLLAR BOTHERS ME AND IS IMPRACTICAL. USING IT WITH THE MULTIPLIER I DID NOT NOTICE DROPS IN DETAIL AND SPEED 'BUT OBVIOUSLY ON THIS LENS (WHICH IS NOT' AS BRIGHT AS A 400MM 2.8 OR A 600MM F4 ) YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DECREASE IN LIGHT THAT ENTERS ..... IT IS USABLE BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS COMPROMISE AND GET USED TO IT. REGARDING THE LACK OF THE SET BUTTON, MANY WOULD NOT USE IT, BUT I COME FROM A LENS THAT HAD IT AND I MUST SAY THAT IT HELPED ME A LOT .... WE HOPE THAT WITH THE LATER VERSIONS IT IS PRESENT
Pros:Zoom without extension, color rendering price definition (considering it is Sony) buttons
Cons:Personally I don't see any
Opinion:Purchased to replace another telezoom I found myself definitely satisfied, the weight is the right one for such an optics considering that the equivalent Tammy (only tried) weighs less but looks like a toy and did not give me a feeling of robustness. I took a few thousand shots before giving a judgment and I must say that on the Sony A7 III goes a wonder, the detail I find it very high compared to the previous one in my possession (which I do not even want to name but it was an "original") really fast focus well balanced and with very comfortable and intuitive keys. I was also amazed by the colors but perhaps there is also the merit of the sensor that I think has a weight in the yield but with a Tamron 28-200 that in any case I like the result is not the same. It is not that there is much more to add, I have not found any negative side and I am not one who is easily satisfied, now I look forward to the summer to put it back in motion.
Pros:Sharpness, quality Lenses, very quiet, lightweight, hooks for shoulder strap, precision and speed autofocus, weight balance
Cons:Zoom ring lock absent, aesthetic color
Opinion:Step from tamron 150-600 g2 which was a good lens, the only thing I regret is the zoom ring lock, being very sensitive as soon as you touch it changes... and personal opinion a lens so it could also be proposed black for those like me who do not want to spend € 100 for camouflage covers to be used in the woods ... That said, the rest is all pro.. it looks great but it is very light, very fast focus, good quality of the lenses much better than the 150-600 tamron g2. Stunned by the noise of focusing, there is no noise, everything seems to be off, even putting the ear close you do not hear a hiss, nothing! And finally a zoom with the hooks for the shoulder strap to be able to bring it to the neck without forcing the E attachment of the machine
Pros:Sharpness , internal zoom , maf , weight for lens type
Cons:I can't find any
Opinion:With this lens Sony did bingo . Exceptional sharpness and very performing maf . Very balanced for the internal zoom that makes this lens very usable even freehand. I use it on A7 III and A6400 that with the battery grip is balanced, on aps-c it becomes a 900 and if the light is good it churns out very nice and clean rows. I also find the price very good, in my opinion it is worth much more, good Sony that with this operation has managed to bring home many fans of nature photos. Absolutely recommended
