- Tony Northrup reviews the new Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS lens () and compare it to the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens (sdp.io/n200500), the Sigma Sport Telephoto Zoom 150-600mm f/5.0-6.3 DG OS HSM (sdp.io/sigma150600), and the Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (sdp.io/tamron150600). Tony is specifically comparing their use for wildlife photography. He demonstrates key handling differences, sharpness, contrast (for shooting in backlit conditions), image stabilization, and autofocus speed and accuracy.

I am sitting here in awe of this knowledge Tony is spewing out like it's what he's known since elementary school. I got a Sony A6000 and am just learning. Glad I found y'all. Thanks!
Great review! ...excellent mix of technical and personal takes... very helpful, thanks
Exactly what I was looking for. Great info, thanks for this review!
This kind of videos is why I always visit your channel. So much useful information, Tony is really the best when in comes to these comparisons.
The big Sig's zoom locking switch can be set at many focal lengths, but more importantly, you don't have to touch it to unlock, just zoom. So, you only have to remember using it when you're done shooting and about to walk.
I tried the 1.4x on it and it was no better than cropping.
Thanks for your straightforward honesty, and interesting insights. Great to hear that dslrs still have some features that mirrorless can’t equal. I have both systems and like both but if I want the best chance with birds and wildlife I always head to my dslr for best autofocus and optical viewfinder. It’s heavy but can’t be beat
Been waiting for this!! Thanks Tony!
I totally agree about the teleconverter, been there and done that, sold the converter. How ever I still use an Sigma 150x600 C and 3 years old I still have never had lens creeping, that said It does have an issue with grabbing focus on birds flying directly at me. Fly by it does great but ar me is a hit and miss game. Thanks for the review.
Thanks Tony!! That was fantastic!
Thank you for your reviews, I just love it :)
Great summary. Thanks Tony!
Good review. Thanks Tony.
Great review Tony !!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this. Super helpful info!
Excellent Video, Tony... 👏👏
Love the wildlife videos more please cant wait
Another great review Tony. Thanks so much.
Excellent review. Thanks.
Great review Sir.
📸 Good comparison as always Tony ... but I believe that one thing you forgot to mention is their respective prices in relation to their performance.
Most of us don't have unlimited budgets to just go out & buy the Sony lens and a Sony body to match. We have pre-existing DSLR's (mine's a Canon) and most likely operate on a budget.
The Sigma and Tamron lenses (I have that exact G2) is perfectly acceptable, and it achieves 90% of the results of the Sony at 65% of the price.
Yes, the third party lenses are always going to perform worse for the reasons specified ... and if money is no object, you'd be absolutely correct.
But I felt that you wrote off the Sigma and Tamron far too quickly for the average user who doesn't shoot Sony. That's just my two cents on the matter. 📸
Hi. Do you use the G2 adapted to a Sony camera? If yes, can you tell me which camera and adapter? With my Sony A7R III + MC-11 + Tamron 150-600G2 autofocus is unusable at longer focal length. I am wondering if this is a general problem or maybe the firmware update to Version 2 of the Tamron could have been a misstake.
@@BBKletsplay I don't have a Sony body (I use Canon), but I use the Tap-In console to fine tune the settings.
Ninh,
I am a Nikon user and on a budget, I got the 200-500mm used for $850. I prefer native brand, therefore buy used gear.
Definitely an interesting way to look at it. I can say from experience that adapting lenses to Sony does not achieve 90% of the results of native lenses. It would be closer to 50-65% in good lighting, forget low light situations. It may be true when using those lenses for Nikon. Buying used solves the problem.
I thought he mentioned prices on everything. I don’t think it’s his intention to tell you what you can afford and weigh those pros and cons for you. Doesn’t take much to use your own perspective with the info given. Great video!!!
Awesome review. I alternate between the Nikon z7 / 200-500mm combo and the Sony a6400 / Sony 100-400mm GM. I occasionally use the Sigma 150-600mm for reach. I prefer the Sony setup for birds in flight almost exclusively because of the autofocus and handling. As Tony mentioned, the AF is a much greater factor than image sharpness because you can never get a crop if you didn't grab the shot in focus in the first place. Additionally I find that a 1.4x teleconverter in the Sony setup was not as bad as mounting the Sigma 150-600mm WRT autofocus but you will lose focus on birds in flight whereas you do not with the teleconverter. This may be different with the 200-600 however.
Awesome yeah I was in Bloomfield little over a week ago just rain and rain
I just got my 500mm a few months back but never had a chance to shoot it so it is actually quite exciting for me just watching this. I didn't shoot for a personal project but now the barriers are off~
I used to use the Canon 400mm F5.6L on an 80D, and it was a very sharp lens. For it's age and price it was a great lens. However, the lack of IS became a problem in a lot of scenarios. Whenever I was shooting under heavy shade or at the end of the golden hour the ISO I needed to use to keep the shutter speed fast enough to prevent shake was just too much. It really restricted what I could do with it. So I sold it off in favor of the 100-400mm IS II, and that has been doing very well for me. Wouldn't mind trying that Sigma out though, to see how I like it. I have never liked Sigma zooms in the past, love their Art primes though.
The preference of optical vs electronic viewfinder is really personnal I think. I shoot wildlife with an optical viewfinder and I hate it because with a bright sunlight, it's really hard to check my exposure
+ With an OVF, you also need to be extremely careful never to aim at the sun, at the risk of damaging the equipment and especially your eyes.
@@youuuuuuuuuuutube You're not going to damage your eye glancing briefly at the sun.
Don't ask me how I know.
Regarder Vidéos you are not using the ovf correctly. D850 and 5d3 etc dslrs have metering exposure values overlayed in the ovf. Checking exposure in bright sun shouldn't be an issue.
@@papaq4089 Except it has already happened to a lot of people, and their stories are documented, so, yeah I'm not going to believe you.
@@youuuuuuuuuuutubeThe biggest problem is when you want to have the sun at the back of your subject in your photo.The only way to do it safely is to have an evf, because it can be really long to take the photo. And when you do that, the subject can be underxposed of 2 or 3 stops. So the metering exposure will be completely wrong and you will ruin your shot with an ovf. When there's important shadows, the metering exposure isn't a great tool, and it happened a lot during summer.
I use the Combo D500 + Nikon 200-500 f5.6 for Wildlife and Sports photography. AF and boost rate are amazing. If you are able to track a flying bird you have close to 100% sharp photos. The hit rate is more related to the photographers ability to track the moving subject then the Equipment.
So what about the Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 Lens?? I have had real good results with that on the D850 for wildlife, bands and sports.
Very good video Tony,
Excellent video 👍
Very Cool Review!
would you recommend getting the 200-600 for a a6500?
I've had the Sigma Sport for Nikon for about 1.5 years. Love it. I hike and I use a Cotton carrier (Tony I believe you called this product a virginity protector). Absolutely would recommend both lens and the carrier. It allow both hands free to hike safely but you can "quick draw" if necessary. Yes I will carry the lens in a bag but would recommend the CC regardless of the setup you have chosen. In the woods nobody will see you (my wife says it looks like I'm carrying a baby).
Whether or not a TC is worth it will also depend on the effective resolution of the camera. Even if it negatively effects IQ on a 42MP A7R3, it might still be worth it on a 24MP A9 with AA-Filter. For the 100-400GM reports state that the TC1.4 improves effective resolution on e.g. the A9 or the 6400 while I haven't seen any mention of the TC2.0 being helpful other than on a 12MP A7S1/2.
thanks for the info! Would love to see comparison between 100-400s and the new sony 200-600.
Wouldn't it make more sense to compare the 100-400 against the $ony 100-400?
that too would be a comparison to do. but for many people who own the 100-400 the question remains does the 200-600 give more detail at 600 than the 100-400 does at 400? Like we saw here with the 200-500 and the use of the tele-extenders longer doesnt always mean more detail.
Tony if you’re reading this 2 things:
1. When are we going to hear your full review on the peak design tripod?
2. Really hoping you can do a review of the new tamron 17-28mm 2.8 vs 16-35mm 2.8 G Master. A price difference of $1300 less is really intriguing.
Thanks and look forward to more videos
Excellent review and comparison, very comprehensive and useful information. I shoot a lot of wildlife and my kit for it the 7D2 and 100-400 mk2. It get's me great results. I am saving for the 200-400 f/4, but at £10k I'll be saving for a while :)
But the 7D2 and 100-400 mk2 is a great combination which could be picked up at a little over £2k used.
@Tony With Sony A73 firmware 3.0 update the autofocus should be matching A6400 right? You mentioned A6400 autofocus is better than Sony a73, did I get that correct?
Excellent video...a few months ago, you conducted a water/ice test with the Sony and Nikon. The Sony was a surprise --it held up without weather sealing. Perhaps a similar test with one of these Sony "Pro Lenses" ?
any chance to see how the sony 200 600 works with a 2x extender ?
If these lenses are all better than the Tamron G2, they must all be really great lenses, especially in the field. In March, I photographed eagles in Alaska with a D850 with grip and a Tamron G2 using auto-ISO manual at F8-11 and 1/1,000th second. After shooting 7,500 images, I found the auto focus to be fast and accurate, the image stabilization amazing, and sharpness better than expected even at 600mm. The vast majority of images were spot on except for composition on some occasions. The only weakness in the system was me.
Do you have a review on the sigma 150 to 600mm contemporary with full and crop
The Sigma 150-600 comes in two different bodies, one with a metal housing that makes sense for newspapers etc. where many photographers are sharing gear. For much less money, around ($950) you get the lighter version with identical optics. I've used this lens with a Canon 7DII for two years and find few faults with it. And I've never had the lens barrel extend itself while being carried.
What about the sigma usb doc that allow you to go and refine the autofocus.
I think the best option so far is a D500 + 200-500 5.6f! Its "cheap", lower f-stop at the end and awesome sharp!
I m shooting with a 5DIV & the Tamron G1 150-600...and a friend of mine has the Nikon combo...and its crazy..what image quality he produce with its combo!
Very interesting that the A9 has a progressively longer viewfinder lag as you do a long burst. First I have heard of that. Good to know. Hopefully the A92 will solve that.
would of liked to see olympus omd em1 mk2 and the panasonic 100-400 to see how it rated against the sigma and tamron? A great review and up to your normal high standards. Cheers
How well does the 200-500 handle zooming in wet conditions? I've had a few lenses fog internally from the action of external zooming and/or focusing.
Ideally (given a truck load of money) I'd go for the Nikon 180-400mm f/4E
I handle the lag in the EVF by shooting with both eyes open. It helps some. At least the open eye still has the subject in view. Definitely better than one eye.
You can tell who's shot football from the sidelines and who hasn't by seeing if both eyes are open while shooting. The one eyed guys suffer greatly :>)
I've been using the Tamron g2 canon version adapted to the fuji x-t30 (yes it looks COMPLETELY silly)since march with stellar results. I actually prefer it on the fuji v my canon 7dii. I also used the tap console to tune the lens to my fuji, it's a must, not sure if Tony tuned his Tamron or not.
I've shot tens of thousands of wildlife images with the Nikon D500 and Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary for several years now and love to travel to Central and South America with it primarily because it is lighter than the long Nikon primes or the Sport edition of the lens. I live in South Florida and regularly use it on weekends to photograph wildlife in the many wetland locations near me. It has held up in hot, humid, wet climates but I do use a rain cover with during tropical rain showers.
I bought the Contemporary version over the Sport version primarily for the weight to use handheld on day hikes where I didn't want to lug around the tripod and the heavier prime lenses. Since it doesn't have as heavy of a front lens element as does the Sport edition, the zoom creep has been minimal when carrying it hanging down. It has been a quick to focus lens with great stabilization. I shoot a lot of birds in flight and I can acquire focus quickly and rarely miss a shot. The autofocus response does slow down in lower light though but I don't have a basis to how it relates to the other lenses you reviewed since I have not shot with any of those. I've also shot a lot of back lit images in the rainforest canopies and have not noticed any excessive flaring and I was impressed by not seeing much chromatic aberration in the results.
When I bought my Sigma lens, the Nikon 200-500mm had just been introduced and there was a waiting list so I opted for the Sigma (after having had experience with the previous generation of the lens). If I were to buy such a lens today, I would probably opt for the native Nikon 200-500mm although I do like that extra bit of reach on the Sigma. However, for travel, I'm now considering the Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR prime lens because of it's compact size and I still have a soft spot for primes and prefer them over the zooms. But I also want to see what mirrorless replacements for the D500 and equivalent mirrorless lenses they will be introducing in the next few years before I make big purchases again.
Now that the Canon 90D is out would be great to know if the extra MPs will be better than the 7D MKII both with the 400 f5.6.
Hi Tony and Chelsea. Love your videos. Just a tech question for you. I am getting a message on my Mac that I should upgrade my Lightroom software as it may not work on future Mac upgrades. Not sure I want to go down a subscription route so my question is: what other options are out the beside Lightroom that will work with ding files? Keep up the good work. Jer
With an Updated lens, updated adapter, and updated camera, the canon adapted sigma 160-600 contemporary work better than i expected with my A7III and A6400(did not work well with A7 super slow focus and almost constant focus hunting), i was surprized how well it tracked at the Quad Cities Air Show. Do i wish i had the Sony lens? Of course(and will be getting one). Will i get rid of the sigma? No it'll mean i have a backup camera with lens next time we go as a family (my second longest lens is the 24-240)
In the a6400 does clear image zoom go up to x2 zoom in 4k?
just curious what would be the cheapest but still good IQ solution for the fuji system? Throw one of these on with an adapter like fringer or just get the 100-400 with a teleconverter?
I’m a bird and wildlife photographer and I use a Sony a7iii on a Tamron 150-600g2 with a Sony la-ea3 adapter and I’m so happy with this setup😍😍⚡️⚡️📷📷👌
Great to know, but i didnt know there is a G2 for the Sony A mount available!
Studio96 Vienna yes there is one a-mount available and with the La-ea3 adapter I can use both eye af human and animal on my a7iii😉
@@Dan.gibson.photographer Great info, thank you!
Why not the a7riii?
John Evans a7riii is stunning amazing awesome but at the time it was released it was a lot more expensive than the a7iii, I owned Sony’s camera since the old dslr alpha a100, (then a850, an a99, a Nikon d500 that I loved and finally back to Sony with the tremendous a99ii) I also have a ton of Minolta glasses which fits perfectly on my old bodys, in fact a7iii is an entry lvl ff camera that can do more than people think 😉 for the moment I can’t see it limits so I enjoy with it 📷😉
Thanks for making this video. This has been something I have been seriously been looking into either getting a Nikon 200-500 mm lens or a Sigma 150-600 mm lens for years now. I really want the Nikon lens but the price range is always more affordable on the Sigma lens at B&H. But I have had problems before with the Sigma lenses because of the odd lens flairs it creates especially at sunset or sun rise for my 18-250 mm lens. If I get a lens I want it to take photos of things like the Moon.
Did you do any calibration on the lenses, or just use them out of the box?
Good comparison.. tony/Chelsea I shoot on an 80d. I’m about to purchase my 1st wildlife lens and am leaning towards the canon 100-400ii. Any thoughts or suggestions since this lens USED is pretty pricy. Thanks !!
Hi Tony. did you try the Sigma 60-600? I have read some nice review. On a D500, do you still recommend the Nikkor 200-500mm against the 60-600mm? Thank you. And I currently have the 80-400 F:4,5-5,6. Is it worth upgrading to the 200-500 or a Sigma 60or150-600? thank you.
Hi Tony & Chelsea! Thanks for all your great work. I was wondering if you're planning on doing more of "Wanderlust"? Immensely enjoyed this series, and definitely left me wanting more. Take care!
At the moment, no... it was really expensive to edit and not particularly popular. We do have a bunch in the can, though, so maybe we can find an editing service that can do it inexpensively.
Do you think the sony e mount 200-600 would work best out of all 4 on a nikon z with the techart sony to nikon adapter?
I just compared the 100-400GM with and without the 1.4x and 2x teleconverters and found that the image taken with either teleconverter was significantly sharper than the image taken with the bare lens and enlarged with digital zoom to equivalent size (I tried interpolating the image as well). I conducted the test with both the a7r3 and the a9 and the results were similar. I have only looked at center sharpness at this point. My procedure was simply to focus on text that was located centrally in the frame and about 20 feet away (tripod, IS off, ISO200, manual focus). If others can try a similar test to confirm my findings, that would be great. Tony states in the video that neither 1.4 nor 2x teleconverters offer an advantage over the bare lens for the 200-600G and that they in fact make the image worse. To me this suggests that the 100-400GM takes teleconverters significantly better than the 200-600 and must therefore have a significantly sharper starting point. On a related note, I find it a bit weird that Sony is releasing a lens that they have made compatible with their teleconverters when those teleconverters offer no advantage over the bare lens.
Have you ever tried any of these lenses adapter with a fringer on a Fuji? I'm on the hunt for a 400+ lens for my x-t2 and I'm really not keen on fujis zoom or changing system. Again...
Hi Tony! great video and very useful for me. I would like to make a short question related to 26MP in APS-C mode. What do you think is better, 26MP in APS-C mode or crop the photo made at 64MP? I´m thinking in the typical bird which is quite far from you...
Thanks a lot
Congratulation for the video
Can you make a video comparing Canon 100-400mm, Sigma 100-400, Tamron 100-400mm and Nikon 80-400mm?
I would love to see that ;)
If you search youtube u will find few of those.
Thanks for the good tips and the unbiased review.
I just got the Nikon 200-500 and haven't gone out shooting with it yet.
My D7000 is 16MP and my D600 is 24MP. Which do you think should produce a sharper image on stationary and/or moving subjects? I think this might make for a good subject sometime.
You will love the 200-500.
It is a very sharp lens (my copy is anyway) and performs brilliantly at closer distances.
It can also be used for fairly close macro(ish) work, with pin sharp results (has the constant f/5.6 aperture also) .
The VR is second to none!
My main gripe is, the AF is a little slow and it is not weather sealed, but for the price, it is an outstanding performer.
Distance shooting reveals the usual atmospheric distortions.
I have a question:
Would you recommend a used Nikon 300mm f2.8 VR I / Canon 300mm f2.8 L IS USM on APS-C and with TC‘s to get 900mm reach or would you prefer a superzoom like the Sony 200-600mm on APS-C ?
Thanks.
Tony did a review of teleconverters in the past. Generally he recommends not going above 1.5 magnification. You lose too much light and image quality.
As always, great research and review! Any plans to test the Fuji X series with their 100-400mm super zoom? Thanks!
Nice comparison, thank you. I don't understand why at the end it was the D500 vs A6400? What about the A9? That would be my choice. Thanks as usual, Tony, next super important video that many of us are waiting for: Sony 200-600 or Sony 100-400 (w/1.4x or without)??
Could you review the 500mm canon f4? Please
While I do understand the problem with the weather, testing these 600mm zoom lenses on a book shelf is like testing a macro lens at long distances (close to infinity). The result might be drastically different at the more used distances. Or it might be the same. We won't know from this test.
@@jonphoto5078 While it may not be clear from my message, I was talking about the sharpness test/demonstration.
@@Elgsdyr true. i found the nikon 200-500 to be sharp at close distances, but always had bad results at longer ones.
@@weareyesyesyes yup. Many people have said that, also the tamron performs better in that situation.
would have loved to see the EM1ii/EM1X with 40-150 2.8 + MC20 Teleconverter as well, as it is a much smaller setup!
It's also not comparable. Even without the teleconveter you're talking about a lens and body system that's equivalent to an 80-300mm f/5.6 and with a 2x teleconverter it's now a 160-600mm f/11 equivalent.
If you use such a lens with a monopod, would you recommend to turn off the IS ?
Tony, with the new A7r4 released,. and since I already own the 100400GM,. Would it be advisable to skip to 200600G and pickup the A7r4 for use in crop mode at 26mpx? Currently own the A7Riii and happy with it but crop mode drops me to 18mpx at 600mm equivalent with 100400gm. What are your thoughts on this approach? Thanks
Tony can you provide any feedback here?
Tony does quality reviews
So using A9 & A6400 is worth to invest the 1.4x or 2x extender if buying the 200-600 lens?!
And Canon do have a super tele-zoom - "EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x" but just not the similar price range compare to the others.......
Question: will D7200 and Nikon 200-500 is a good combination for wild life photography?
Thanks Tony for this formative review. Can I ask about your thoughts of the sony a100-400 (digitally cropped to 600) vs the 200-600. I wonder if the sharpness og the GM lens is enough to compensate for its shorter range
Ack, sorry if I forgot to include that in the video. I did test it and the 200-600 is much sharper at 600 than the 100-400 is cropped to 600.
Many thanks. I am really grateful for your insightful videos :)
hi tony, if possible, would you compare the m43 system with the D500?
Hi, can you tell me which one has more magnification (macro), Sony 200-600 or Sigma 150-600?
Hi Tony...please suggest which one is a better choice for wildlife photography especially mamals...Nikon d850 +200-500 f5.6 vs Sony a7riii +200-600 f5.6-6.3...
SIR, please help me in this question , at 200mm f2.8 & 400mm f5.6 the effect of background blur is the same or 200mm f2.8 gives more background blur. Because I want to buy Nikon 200-500 f5.6
How would Sony A7r4 works with Mc11 converter with Sigma 150-600 Contemporary. Need review how that would work for birding and wildlife
Thanks for taking me from a point and shoot to enjoying photography - I wish I had the $ for the sony lens.... Looks like a lot of fun!
would love to see a comparison with sony 200-600 vs 100-400+1.4TC!
Seconded! I’m really curious to hear about this.
Check out Mark Galers Ytube reveiw. ;) (200-600G was the winner).
Tony says that both TC reduced IQ, so 200-600 will be the winner.
@@walkerprimeirk It's not that clear cut. There are many reports that the TC1.4 improves the resolution of the 100-400GM (e.g when paired with an A9). Not sure it does so on the high-res, unfiltered A7R3, though.
Mark Rutt 100-400 with 1.4TC is bad with autofocus, but then again I’m using A7R3. Planning to get 200-600 with a6400 (for video)
Appreciate all the advice. This was a very helpful video on Sony body and lens to get. I don't need prof. results though I need to see enough detail. I won't be getting the Nikon so that leaves the Sony 200-600 OSS with APS-C body. Really could use that rumored Sony A7000 with 32MP. Very helpful Teleconverter info. The old Canon 400mm f5.6 is great with the built-in hood. Love that lens.
The Sigma 150-600 C is an amazing zoom and with the crop on an APS-C gives it incredible reach for the price.
Yes I agree I have that same lens. Still figuring out the dock before I use.
Chris Overholster Whoever told you that a crop-sensor increases 'reach'? It just crops, nothing else. Please!
@@tbtrieste2 - the 1.5 crop factor gives it what would be a 900mm zoom equivalent on a full frame camera. Unless something is lost in translation.
Chris is correct on crop factor. It may not be as clear as the full frame cameras but crop sensor cameras is all I have had since taking photos.
If you are using a crop sensor camera the sensor is basically cropping out the edges of the frame, which increases the focal length. The amount of difference in focal length with a crop sensor is measured by its “Multiplier.” For example, a Nikon APS-C crop sensor has a 1.5x multiplier. So infact you both are right. Lmao
The rumored A6500 replacement will hopefully have 2 card slots, a better viewfinder, and a bigger grip. Although the best solution for me would be updated focusing for the A7R3, but I guess we will have to wait for the A7R4 for that to happen.
I have the sigma C version with a 7DMKII. I have had nice results.
I have been shooting wildlife using the older Tamron 150-600mm zoom. Not having experienced the Sony version with my A7xx cameras I can't comment on the difference. I have done pretty well with my a7II and A7III cameras as long as I limit the Tamron lens to 500mm or less. At 400-500mm I can get sharp shots even with the autofocus being a bit slower with an adapter.
WhAt about the combination of Canon 80D and Canon ef400mm f/5.6 for Bird and wildlife photography. I have got an Canon 80d and thinking about getting a good lens for shootings birds and wildlife? As budget is limited..kindly advice.
10:08 captions don't match -- on the right image says Sigma at the bottom and says Nikon in lightroom at the top.
Market has updated. Love to see Fujion XF 150-600 mm included in this list... :D
Thank you Tony, I learned an extremely valuable tip and was reassured that my purchases of a used Canon 7dm2, used 100-400 zoom, & used 400mm fixed was worth every penny. In fact, I was just practicing photographing bugs this am with the 100-400mm & got an awesome handheld shot of a bee covered in pollen in mid flight buzzing in & out of the Hollyhocks.
thank you, very good review. Everything you said is true, but do we really need such a sharp lens to produce good and valuable photography. I agree that sharper is better, but does it really affect the value of the photo as much as all of you claim? thank you.
instead of getting a teleconverter.. ill get a Sony APS-C camera next year XD
hoping they'll release something of a combination of the a6400 and the a6500 before then. (i heard the a6500 has a bigger buffer and grip)
so... year later, have you got the a6600?

Hello. I am confused between Nikon d500 to Nikon d850 and the lens compatibility with nikon 200-500 lens... And which would be bettee between Nikon d850 and sony a9 for wildlife photography as a whole. Would be great help as I have been confused and researching for few months.
What about the a9 with the sony 200 600?
What about the Z6? Will the Z6 out perform A7 iii with the same lenses?
