Pros: Focal range for birdlife and wildlife (if you find yourself using focal lengths greater than 400mm). Image quality and stabilization. Full time manual focus, autofocus and GM-level build quality for the mechanical part. Zoom in

Cons: Price, (but I already had a nice discount) even if it is better made than my 200-600, weight and size (compared to the Canon 200-800). Non-Arcaswiss tripod foot, more solid than the detachable one of the 200-600 but not easily removable (it takes 4 Allen screws to remove it). f/8, is not f/6.3 at 600mm (7.1 at 590). The click (as well as on the 200-600 and 300GM) of the collar positions is missing. Some like it, others don't. Sigma did well with the 300-600 f/4 to make it selectable. A bag like the one of the 200-600 is missing.... ;-(

Opinion: Today the first rehearsals around the park of the temple of Naritasan (Japan). The lens is slightly front heavy, but it handles hand-held well and without problems. It's all more or less what you can expect from a quality zoom from Sony, very very similar to the 200-600 but obviously it's slightly smaller and lighter. They have finally improved the lens hood and its attachment (the one of the 200-600 is in my opinion not up to par). Very similar to that of the 300GM with the white release button. The AF, limiter, etc. controls are all "GM", the focus preset is missing (as on GM supertele) with the relative ring for prefocus recall. I still have to study it a little, but I am cautiously satisfied. I propose an update of the review later, especially comparing it with the little brother 200-600 and with the 300GM with multipliers. And of course with the Canon 200-800. I took the photos by pairing it with an A1 mark II Note: I don't see the photos I took for now with this new lens. Therefore I refer you to the dedicated gallery: https://www.juzaphoto.com/me.php?pg=205011&l=it
