So glad a purchased the FE 200-600.

When i first picked up the FE 200-600 from Wex in Leeds UK i couldn't wait to pop it onto my A6700. Quick read of the manual regarding the mode switches and i was straight out in the garden. The main thing is getting used to the extra weight and how to hold and adjust the very quick zoom etc. once you build up the muscle memory it becomes a great carry around lens and a joy to use. I am getting some very sharp images of small birds and some lovely distance architecture shots as well. The image stabilisation is very good when the correct mode is switched on and once connected to a tripod or monopod it becomes very stable and again a joy to use.

Great lens

It is the first telephoto zoom I have ever had. I use it to photograph the moon and am a very new amateur photographer. Even with my limited experience I can say this lens is great!

Great Lens

I recently bought this lens and as with all my Sony lenses, it is living up to my expectations. My main use for this is to capture birds in flight. As I am getting used to it, it is becoming better and better. I will let the images speak for me. Most of the following were taken at distances between 50 and 150mtrs.

Excellent lens with great versatility.

I purchased this lens and it has travelled with me four times to Costa Rica for bird photography. I find the lens sharp with good colour rendition. I also have used the lens for shooting the solar eclipse and moon shots. Overall I am happy with the lens and have no complaints.

"Beyond Expectations"

Initial uncertainty around 200-600mm vs 100-400mm...and the extra weight issues! Important admission...I'm a birder...NOT a bird photographer. I simply wanted a camera/lens that would get me great record shots, in most situations. So glad I went for the 200-600mm! The extra 'reach' is amazing...as is the image quality; even in quite difficult conditions. The weight issue is quite minor... as it's easy to carry with a Black Rapid Strap... Hand-holding the camera/lens combo has not been problemmatic...for still, active & BIF. I've been using it for a few weeks now...protected with LensCoat cover...no issues thus far! Delighted I chose the 200-600mm...it was excellent value for money & giving great results.

Worth its weight!

I just switched from Canon to Sony. I purchased the 200-600mm lens and I love it. It's a little heavy but it is worth its weight as it produces beautiful images. I've included a before and after to show the potential of this lens!

Worth it

The lens is work the money. It is sharp and fast at focusing on whatevery you put on it. I am very happy with it. It is a day time use lens. Yes with better bodies now you can get away with less light. It does not compare to a 4.0 or 2.8f lens. It is not intended for a night time High School football game unless you are willing to accept some noise from the high ISO you will be forced to use. During the day, awesome lens! It is really fun to use because it really pulls the subject in close. It is not to heavy but for a long shoot I will use a monopod. It is a very nice lens and worth the money.

Best wildlife lense

The Sony SEL200600G is an excellent super-telephoto zoom lens that offers a great combination of image quality, features, and handling. It is a versatile lens that is well-suited for a variety of photography genres. Pros: Versatile zoom range Fast and quiet autofocus Effective image stabilization Weather-sealed construction Impressive image quality Cons: Relatively large and heavy Expensive

An excellent lens

I have been using this lens mostlt for wildlife photography, especially birds in flight, sometimes with the Sony 1.4x teleconverter. The results are superb. Very sharp, even when wide open. Focussing is very fast and accurate. I print A2+, the prints are pin sharp. Overall, an excellent lens that is not too heavy and is when designed for ease of handling.

VERSATILE ZOOM LENS

Brought this a month ago. Its a bit on the heavy side, but solidly built. The 200-600mm range is ideal for wildlife and birds photography. I use it with my Alpha 1 and it works the focus works seamlessly. I am also looking at the Sony 14-35mm G to cover landscape photography.

Great item, shoots fantastic photos.

I am a novic photographer, I love my point and shoot wildlife photos. My partner treated me for Christmas with this lense and I have yet to test its full capabilities but so far I am really impressed with this lense. It is larger than I would normally use but I have invested in a monopole which helps with holding and stability. Great photos ans zoom on this lense. 100% recommended for any keen photographer whether novic or pro.

Great photos, not as cumbersome as you'd think

The image quality from this lens is excellent and autofocus is good. I'm pleasantly surprised that it's not bad at all to carry (with a good strap) in spot of how big and heavy it is.

Reach for the stars

Bought this for going on Safari , but bought early so I could get a few trips out to use and review my shots, must say I feel like I am able to capture far away animals and birds like never before, it is heavier than any previous equipment but imagine that's the price of quality, still need to remember to up the shutter speed when at full length and believe that it's best used with a monopod for stability

Best Telephoto on the market

This lens has been fantastic even in low light situations like woodland tree cover or forests. The 95mm filter makes it easy to get filters and the weight of the lens isn't a issue.

Great lens, shame about the strap

The lens is everything I expected, solid construction and great image quality. The only downside being the carry strap with is the same strap as my a7cr, which is not sufficient or comfortable for a lens of this size and weight. As the lens is quite expensive I think it is a little mean of sony not to supply a more substantial strap. A purchased a peak design strap and discarded the sony strap.

The wildlife lens

This lens is so versatile and the fact it has an internal zoom with keeps it sealed from dust and weather and with effortless and fast change from 200-600 is fantastic for moving subjects and the biggest bang you will get for your money from any lens! its that good I brought 2!

very sharp

This lens is very sharp even at 600mm unlike some other makes. This is very important as this is the only focal length that you may need to crop into the image at for wildlife etc.

Was in two minds, how could I!

Like most of us, I did the research - best long zoom for my A7iv! Obvious 2 were the 100-400 and this. Having my used a 70-200 with 2x teleconverter (which wasn't bad at all), I decided on the reach of the 600, with some hesitation after reading how good the 100-400 was. I needn't have worried. G lens for a reason, the lens is sharp across all the zoom range and at 600 and cropping in, I'm really pleased with the IQ. Build is amazing - if a little heavy, but you soon get into it. Feels like money well spent, so highly recommended!

Great overall performer

By Stratman6

Bought for motorsport and wildlife. Happy so far with the bird photography but no motorsport yet due to Covid rules. Unfortunately the 1.4x TC won't fully function with my 7Riii. Hoping SONY do a firmware update to rectify the issue. Works well with the 7iii and results are superb.

Finally a long zoom for Sony!

By BillyS

This lens just came out, and I have just had it a few days, but I am so excited to review it! I am coming from the Sigma 150-600c with the MC-11 converter, which worked well, but was very slow to focus, and missed focus much of the time. As a wildlife shooter this meant many lost moments. I love Sony cameras, but was jealous of friends that had fast focusing lenses at over 400mm. I am using the 200-600 on my a6500, and it is night and day! The autofocus speed feels just as fast as my Sony 24...
