OpticalLimits 7.8/10
[Sony mount] It is a very capable super-tele zoom lens. Its center quality is certainly good enough [...] The outer image field is a bit of a mixed bag [...] The lateral CAs are well controlled [...] The build quality left a positive impression despite the extensive use of plastics [...]. It is much more backpack-friendly than the big Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS.
