how is the quality in terms of sharpness? AF ?
and then build quality and how is the weight? .. is about the same as 150-400
how does it feel well balanced ?
The advantage of the 150-400 is that I hardly notice any loss of quality if I have TC on.. of course it is 100mm shorter but better brightness.
at what focal length does it switch to f6.3 ?

I might have some answers to all of those in a month or so.
- The strap eyelets are different and larger, so one can't use the Peak Design anchor links.
- The tripod mount foot should be twice as long, as many like to carry the lens with their hand around it, but it is too short.
- The zoom lens lock is a great idea, but the switch is too small and very finicky to use.
Tony, I'm using the Peak Design anchor links on my 150-600mm and haven't encountered any issues yet; the foot is ridiculously small at 30mm x 85mm, but Leofoto offers a replacement foot that is 19mm x 120mm. There are others but usually more expensive than Leofoto.
A pair of bald eagles has visited almost every day for the past month--maybe they will be residents. Until this year we got only a few visits a year, mostly just flyovers.

They are the largest swallows in North America. I rarely see them both together on the ground. This couple was collecting twigs and other materials to rebuild their nests.
