Damn even more exciting! I can’t wait to hear your first impressions!

I’ve got a massive hangover but hopefully it clears by then

Nice one Robert. Juvenile, black still on the beak.

Very nice Alfredo. I'm heading to your fair city later today. Looking forward to it.

Thank you Bill! Hope you have a great visit!

Love this shot.

Thank you very much!

Thanks Bill. So far enjoying everything about the 200600 but the weight

I haven’t done the math, but I’d expect the FE 200-600mm to be Sony’s least expensive lens on a per-ounce/gram basis. Incredible value imo.

Yes sir, spot on in my estimation=the bestbangbuck for wildlife/BIF (see Arbitrage and Joshua's BIF work at FM) in the Sony world IF IF IF you can suffer the weight.
I handed Poof the a6400+100400G earlier today and had forgotten how light that set of gears is....it is the lightest/most wieldable you can go (or with the a6500) IF IF IF you can suffer the ergo's
of the a6xxx series (which frankly suck). Poof quickly nabbed a bee on a flower and she was humbled by the sharpness from the 100400 and the MFD for psuedo macro.
I don't think 100400 replaces 200600...different tools..but what is the photographer's preferrence/most targeted subjects?

So I say all that when there is a Nikon 500PF+D500 3 feet away. The D500 can give the a9 run for monies and the 500PF is super super sharp...as sharp as the 100400; the combo is very wieldable BUT BUT BUT
it's a DSLR!

David the reason Nikon is not going on the Alaska trip is simply because I can charge every Sony going (a7Rii/A7Riii/a6400/a9​/a5100/rx100v/rx100vi) from a big battery brick. USB charging and convenience win this time.

So the 35/1.8 arrived. Size and weight is great. One weird thing though is that when I hold it and then tilt it forward I can feel the internals moving with gravity. I can then tilt it the other way and feel it moving back again. Not sure if thats normal or defective? Never had that with a lens before. Seems to be functioning correctly though

Just clocked the time! Noticed it was past 19:00 hours so thought I'd come onto POTN & have a look for your review mate

I can't say I've ever noticed that with a lens before. But, it's not really something that I'm likely to check/listen for/notice......

Hopefully someone else with a early order can double check with you.

Yeah it’s a bit odd. I didn’t check for it but instantly felt it happening. The lens seems to work correctly though. I’ll get some better use of it tomorrow

I believe this is a Yellowjacket. There were a couple of them flying around my flowers which made it difficult to focus with all the foliage in the way. I got lucky on one shot.

These Skippers are much easier to photograph, even though they hop from flower to flower constantly.
