Review Summary

The 50 to 400 range is awesome. However, with the A7RV body, I found I had to shut off the lens image stabilizaton (VC) because the EVF image jumps around when handheld. VC has two levels and neither worked. With it off, it was much easier to track a bird in flight. That's disapointing since I was counting on getting great stabilization using both VC and IBIS. For the range this lens has, it's touted as light. But at 2.5 pounds, using a 1.5 pound body and a nearly 1 pound cage, it's a heavy combo. So heavy it's hard to hold long enough to traverse the many Sony settings menus. That will be less of an issue when custom buttons are better exploited, though. Still, a 1" wide neck strap is unworkable. The cage and a third party lens-tripod ring mount helps a lot managing the weight by giving more handholds. Any lens with the F4.5 to F6.x aperature isn't great in low light and even though I only shoot outside, combined with the poor A7RV low light performance, sunset shots are an issue.

Lens physically looks amazing. I'm still working on best camera settings to produce the best possible images and videos. I'm very much a novice and don't fully understand all the photo lingo and settings. Bought for kids sports games. A little darker image than my old lens. Will need to learn the settings or shoot in better lighting.

I love this lens! It?s sharp and the colors it renders are very pleasing. But it?s the range that makes me the happiest. 50-400mm is so, so useful and so fun! I would recommend it to anyone.
