Long time sports shooter on You Tube been with Sony for quite some time. He thinks the 300 2.8 focuses faster than any of the other Sony primes and that the 300 with the 2x is the same AF speed as the bare 600 f4. Only one mans opinion but thought I would throw it out there.
I'd agree it is the fastest of them all as a bare lens. I don't find the 300/2x to be faster than the 600GM bare. But it is pretty amazing how fast the 300/2x is. So much faster than 400 or 600GM with the 2x. I'd trust getting more keepers in a burst with bare 600GM than the 300/2x and IQ is better also (as one would probably expect).
That make sense . Would you say the 2-6 is better in any way than the 300 2x in good light. Debating if I should keep the 2-6 or go with the 100-400 for a zoom. Which would you choose ?
Other than the versatility of having the zoom, I don't think I'd ever reach for a 200-600 over the 300/2x. I sold my 200-600 a good while ago as I was never using it.
I have the 100-400GM which I don't use a lot but do use it for semi-macro type stuff or if I'm just out casually with family and not dedicated to bird photography and don't want to take a big prime lens.
