Pros: Weight sharpness and easy handling

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: An extraordinary optics There is not much to say because it is amazing from all points of view extraordinary detail perhaps even too much speed blurred precision beautiful ,,, but above all very well balanced and light. Honestly it is difficult to do better for any brand, in my opinion at these levels the optics are spectacular there is little to say.

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.

Pros: Optical quality at the highest levels, speed and precision AF, excellent even with tlc 1.4 and 2x , weight looks like an empty tube from how light, manageable and balanced.

Cons: I could not find a flaw, even the price although very high, is proportionate to all the qualities offered.

Opinion: After several months of use I can contribute writing the Provengo review from a Canon system, I used for naturalistic 600mm IS II with 1dx mk2 5dmk4 and 5dsr, the latter accompanied me in 90% of my photo sessions, now I use Sony with A9II and A7r IV, the A9II arrived later, and it immediately sparked, from this pairing come incredible files, especially with moving subjects, 20fps allow you to freeze the perfect moment, and to choose the best file, while with A7r4 come out very detailed files, the latter I see it more indicated on static subjects, it is physiological that it is so, with 61 mpx,cmque better than 5dsr , with its 10fps. Top stabilizer, in 3 sports mode and bird mode 2 panning, mode 1 stabilization on both the horizontal and vertical axes. Even with the 2 tlc goes very well,detail and af at excellent levels, even with regard to the bokeh behaves in an excellent way. A note about the weight... that say less than 4kg body "lens, very balanced even for freehand shots, I mounted for practicality the pin wimberly attack arch,as well as practicality for mounting on the relevant heads, you also gain space to put it in the backpack. Summing up I can only say that Sony has made a masterpiece, in my galleries you can find several shots taken with this paired body/lens.

Pros: Weight, well balanced, speed of focus, sharpness, bokeh, great with 1.4X

Cons: No one for the moment, you can say it costs a lot, but the money it costs them all!

Opinion: My first impressions shared by my friends Valter Bernardeschi and Gastone Pivatelli are the ones you feel when you are faced with excellence. We tried it with A9 and A7RIII with optical aims and with firm and moving subjects. It is also distinguished by its sharpness at F4 and for the excellent bokeh!! Light and above all well balanced. Used with A9 and 1.4X freehand in the house with little light at 1/60 sec. at 6400 and 10000 ISO seems to photograph with tripod!! Surprisingly fast and above all precise in focus, I also deserve the machine bodies! Compared to the competition we are on another planet! A curiosity: the tripod bracket is the same perfectly interchangeable to that of the Canon EF 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4x
