Just like you I did watch and read all those early 200-600mm hands-on. And so far I am impressed. There is only one major downside which is the fact that the f/6.3 aperture “kicks in” already at 300mm. But for the rest this lens to seem decently sharp and handy. Personally I also prefer the 200-600mm focal range over the 100-400mm GM. I believe this is going to become a really popular lens. This is supported also by our poll:

Long time I haven’t seen near half of SAR readers saying they are considering to buy a new lens.

So here are a few more images from the Sony 200-600mm press release:

Feature images (Click on it to enlarge):

Fuji created their own equation named “Value Angle” to measure the quality of a mount. In short: The Greater the value angle, the more precise and easier a lens can send light to the sensor. A wider value angle gives more flexibility for lens design and allows for more light and less digital correction.

The way Fuji measures it the Sony E-mount does fine for APS-C while it ends up last for Full Frame:

Now keep in mind this isn’t an industry standard way to measure things. It’s “only” Fuji’s way to measure a mount.

Such a lens would really make big headlines dear Adorama :)

Imaging it the 18mm f/1.1…astrophotographer would sell both their kidneys for that one!
