| price paid: | 2900CAD |
| positive: | Light, fast AF |
| negative: | F6.3, poor bokeh, not a prime, E-mount |
| comment: | Due to back issues I have had to let go of my very heavy Minolta 600G in favour of this lighter lens. Thus far, I am very happy with the perfomance. It is not as good a the Minolta, but is good enough. |

| compared to: | FE 100-400 GM |
| price paid: | SEK23 490 (≈$2 391) |
| positive: | Reach (why I bought it) Sharp, just a tad below the FE 100-400mm GM very fast AF. Internal zoom! Short turn from Min to Max. Easy to turn with just a finger. f5,6-6.3, just a 1/3 stop from 200-600mm, wish it had been f4-5.6 or so though, at the cost of weight... and price. Very good built quality. |
| negative: | Well, if any, kind of heavy with a7R III and the battry-grip (a must for handling) , but rather that than not of this quality. The included lens-strap is an ordinarie camerastrap, and is to short and to narrow and no padding for the neck/shoulder. (cheap Sony, cheap). Found a much better one at a website. |
| comment: | A super great lens to use, can't wait to try it my new a7R IV (soon), with faster IBIS. Works great with the 1.4x TC and still be used handheld, even tho I recommend using a monopod at least. (that's on me as I'm old and not so steady hands anymore). Works with the 2x TC too, but really hard to keep steady at 1200mm, even tried with monopod, but a tad dark at the time so at 1/40s... you guess, will redo that one... One have to copy the links below and paste them on a texteditor, select and right click and open URL. Have no idea why links don't work here???

| compared to: | FE 100-400 Canon EF 600 f4 IS L II with 2X TC |
| price paid: | 2200 USD |
| positive: | Long reach and sharpness, plus can use 2X TC and still able to have good AF (use with A9 and A7rIII) |
| negative: | Quite long compare to FE 100-400 |
| comment: | Great to have a lens that can reach 1200mm ( with 2X TC) and can still AF fast. Suppose can still have eye AF and animal eye AF when use with A9 (But A9's firmware for animal eye AF is not available as of the time of the review). In the past, the only 1200mm reach with good AF is Canon 1Dx with EF 600 f4 IS L II with 2X TC |
