Impressive. I also saw on someone’s video (can’t recall whose) that there isn’t much focus breathing.
Bokeh quality looked a bit hit or miss. Still I think in a $2000 US package this lens will move. Giddyup

Does the 100-400mm GM have any known advantages that make it a GM over the 200-600mm G? AF speed? Minimum focus? Bokeh?
Steve Spencer wrote:
The 100-400 obviously has a faster max aperture and it has a shorter minimum focus with higher magnification. We'll see about AF speed and bokeh is probably a matter of taste. Do any of these things mean GM instead of GF? I don't think so. I think that is a marketing decision.
A typo, I suppose? «GM instead of GF» = girl friend ?

Yes, a typo and I could have sworn the max magnification was .2 when I looked before. Anyway, thanks for the corrections.

0.2x on DPReview. That makes sense. 0.28x with 1.4TC, 0.4x with 2xTC.
Compared to 0.14x for the 600/4GM, 0.196x with 1.4TC, 0.28x with 2xTC
Compared to 0.35x for the 100-400GM which would be 0.49x with the 1.4TC at 560. 0.7x with the 2xTC.
The Canadian Sony site says 0.2x MM. There is no way a 600mm lens at that MFD could be 0.66x. All the reviews that have mentioned the MM also say 0.2x.
