Sharpest, fastest super-telephoto Ive ever used
I was sure Id set myself up for disappointment after spending so much for this lens. Had I lost my mind to GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)? How could any experience justify sinking this much into one piece of gear? But, after a weekend shooting wildlife with the Sony FE 400mm f2.8 GM OSS (plus the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters) on the a7rIII, I simply cant wait to take it out again. Even familiar creatures that Ive shot many times before take on ... Show More

Top of the line!
The lens is exceptional. I use it mainly for wildlife. And being it is super-fast with lock-on and tracking when used with the A9, its excellent for birds-in-flight. The 1.4x and 2x extenders are also the best Ive used.

Amazingly Sharp And Accurate
I have nothing but positive to say about this lens. The tracking, paired with the A9 is faster and more accurate than any lens Ive ever used. Being a woman and not having the upper body strength of a man, I can easily hand hold for a short amount of time and get sharp images. Ive used the combo for Pro Bull riding events, college basketball, and also for wildlife. The 2.8 is perfect for indoor sports. Its super versatile and I can not be happier. Good Work Sony!!

Light and fast, with incredible image quality
I shoot wildlife primarily, including deer bucks in rut and birds-in-flight. I shoot handheld 99.9% of the time and routinely use my FE 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters, with both an a9 and an a7RIII body. This lens totally rocks, in every respect. On the a9, with the FE 2.0x teleconverter, shooting flying ring-billed gulls is a piece of cake, using Wide Lock-on AF against a mostly blue sky. 10 out of 10 were tack-sharp. With the a7RIII, that... Show More

The Imagery is second to none
The photos taken with this lens are simply gorgeous and breath taking. The auto focus on this lens with a Sony A9 camera body is faster than any of the Nikons including the latest D5. I never have to worry if the subject has come into focus, it is that fast. The color, the bokeh and the subject separation is simply amazing. You will not be sorry to buy this lens. Yes the price is way out there but at least the lens performance helps soften the blow of the price. I was fortunate enough to get one on loan ahead of time and am waiting for my copy now to arrive.

The 400GM brings a new standard to sports auto-focus
I've shot this lens four times now at three diefferent sporting events in New York City including the US Open, and in Malmo, Sweden. I've spent my lifetime as a sports shooter and I've shot everything Canon and Nikon have made since 1985. The combination of this 400mm f/2.8GM and the A9 brings a new experience to sport photography. There is simply nothing on earth as fast or accurate available. I've ordered one and can't wait to get my hands on i... Show More
