So has anyone reached any definitive conclusions yet? Has the lower weight changed how you shoot, do you wish you would've went with the 400 with TCs?
I have concluded, the lens is a joy to shoot with. I've mentioned this several times, but I forget the lens if this makes sense, I just shoot. With my other lenses, there comes a point where the lens draws attention to itself, size and weight. My copy of the 600 is very sharp, AF is plenty fast, OSS works well.
I'm selling my 200-600, 100-400, and the 300 F/2.8. The 300 was purchased Sept 1st, if anyone wants a good deal, reach out.
I'll buy the new 400/4.5 and press on with a very light kit to shoot with. I'll keep my 400-800 as it handles TCs very well, even if it's a tank compared to the new lenses.
I'm a fan to say the least, I think Sony hit a homerun with this design.
