I have been very happy with the lens. Took it out once so far and the images were excellent.
The lens is sharp and being a zoom not a prime it lacks a little but after going through Topaz or DXO
they are great. It is very hand holdable and not too heavy.
The 600f/4 gm I had was definitely heavier to hand hold.
I like to shoot birds a majority of the time in flight and really appreciate being able to get the bird in the frame locked on at about 400 -500mm then zooming in to 800mm quickly to fill the frame with the 1/4 turn zoom 400-800 range.
The focus is fast and accurate with my A1.
The light is good here in Florida and definitely keeping it and using as my walk around lens.
You still can't beat the 600gm being one of the best 600mm lens in production but can easily be very happy with this lens.
