I am wondering if anyone has directly compared the 600mm f4 vs the 200-600mm at 600mm.? I used to shoot with a Canon 600mm and later the Nikon 500mm f4 so I have had some experience with the larger lens. I took the 200-600mm out with the Sony A7RIV yesterday. I was impressed with the AF and the percent keepers but not very impressed with the overall image quality. The detail and. micro contrast was not quite up to my expectations. I have the Nikon 200-500mm and I am quite impressed by that lens with the Nikon D850. I have been keeping my Nikon system when shooting birds etc. Was hoping the 200-600 would be satisfactory so I could sell off my Nikon gear.... Not sure if I should invest in the Sony 600mm.
I would be interested in hearing on this too, as I have the 200-600 (with a9) since selling off my D850 and 500 f/4E etc.
I haven't had a LOT of shooting opportunities yet, but so far it seems to be stellar in good light situations, but not so much in low light situations - and I'm not talking about the obvious shutter speed due to the slower lens, nor focusing, just the overall image quality with anything less than generous light seems less than stellar.
