Hezu#46948 date: Aug-2-2023
sharpness: 4.5 color: 5 build: 4 distortion: 5 flare control: 5 overall: 4.7	tested on: film camera: APS-C: 6MP; 10MP; 12MP; 14MP; 16MP; 20MP; 24MP full frame: 12MP; 24MP; 36MP; 42MP; 61MP
ownership:	I own this lens
compared to:	Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS Sony AF 4-5.6/70-400 SSM G (A mount, I haven't used these side by side since 70-400G was sold already earlier)
price paid:	1 199 €
positive:	+ Very useful focal length range + Reasonably small and light lens + Decent magnification and minimum focusing distance (especially at wide end)
negative:	- Cannot be used with teleconverters - Tripod collar must be purchased separately - Does not survive submerging into water :-)
comment:	This is a versatile telephoto lens that works for many use cases, albeit the long end at 400 mm may at times feel tad short, although the fact the wide end starts at 50 mm compensates this quite a bit.
