Welcome to the episode of I can't afford to buy that!

I love the reaction of the duck at 8:00

Fantastic performance. Thank you.

Great review and amazing images. thanks for great video

Dude...I am in LOVE with the shots you captured. OMG! Magnificent! I cant wait to be able to afford a zoom lens. This is the kind of Photography I dream of doing. Thanks for sharing.

Right to the point. Great review and amazing images!

Thank you .... new to your channel ...enjoyed! Love wildlife photography ...would live to travel to these spots to capture wonderful shots. Out into nature

My favorite bird! Love all your work!

Absolutely beautiful. I recently bought this Sony lens and use it for astrophotography. It rivals, and sometimes evens seems a little better, than a 10" telescope that I use, especially on the moon. Having the best of equipment is nice but being willing and knowing how to use these instruments properly is even more important. I think your work is magnificent.

I've owned my 200 - 600mm + SEL14TC for a month now, having part exchanged my 100 - 400mm G Master. No regrets, this new lens is excellent for wildlife photography. I find it handles better than the 100 - 400mm and zooming in and out is so fast. When used on my A9 (have yet to try it on my A7III) the AF is so fast and accurate. Top job Sony.

The photos are really amazing.

Forget iso,shutter speeds etc, the hardest part of using this lens is getting it through the front door without the wife noticing .

Lovely pictures and amazing focus performance. Looking forward to see the sharpness of the lens is under better light conditions.

Wow, Superb photos

Loved the informational part about the bird.

Just found your channel and I LOVE it!! Great videos dude 👍👍

"not a good day for that fish" 😂🤣 Wish to have one of that lens 😍🤩

Outstand ... Loved it😍❤❤

Love the way u be with the nature

Its been a while since you uploaded. Glad to see you're still hard at work. Hope all is going well for you.👍 Excellent review BTW.

Excellent review Will. Facts and more facts that's what we like. Osprey shots were superb as it was a new combo for you well done.

very interesting lens indeed, for most portrait style birdphotography this would work great for sony shooters for a quite reasonble price, since most shoot at f8 anyways especially if you use a flash rig. Great video and lovely seeing ospreys in action!

Amazing footage.

Lovely upload mate... good review of the equipment...

wow..what a depth of field..

Never seen your videos before now. So glad you got one of the first videos out for wildlife using the 200-600! I enjoyed it and it just locked in my purchase of it to replace my Sigma 150-600C I've been adapting. I love that lens but have been lusting over the thought of Sony creating something like this! Ironically my last bird shoot here in Texas was Ospreys on the Texas Louisianna border. It must be a sign!

Love your bag😍

i am a fan of yours few years back on facebook. eventually your posts faded on my wall.luckly i found you in here...nice eye and gears you got. keep it going buddy..

Doing a good job is not always about impressive innovation. Sometimes it is only about doing something with plain dedication. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this video! U nailed all the shot, what focus point did u use?

That's very nice and highly creative, excellent job congrats

Thank you so much for this honest and unbiased review of the lens. I also felt the same way about the F number of the lens when it was released. Surely this is going to be a popular lens for Sony shooters given the pricing point, range, etc. But I personally wanted to see a GM grade lens offering the same reach as this 200-600mm lens. I photograph birds therefore an extra reach and faster aperture is something I always appreciate. I guess I will have to wait for Sony to release the much-anticipated APS-C flagship camera later this year to gain that reach, I guess. Oh, before I forget, your real use situation based review is far more useful, immersive, and interesting. Please keep on posting.

U deserved more than my subscription sir 💯🔥

That shot worth waiting that long ! Awesome clicks.

Great video; thank you. Have you had a chance to use the 100-400GM? I'd love to know your thoughts on whether you'd choose that with a 1.4TC or the 200-600G if you could only have one in your kit. Thanks 😊

AWESOME LENS.

The photo was so amzing

Excellent review, TFS

Based on some of my research and the information in this well presented video. I am going to purchase this lens. Thank you for sharing.

Congrats on getting a photo of the bird entering the water. In my location there are always trees in the background and I can't get the bird in focus until it clears the trees.

Super shots. Great test. Would look crazy on my a6400, but I'm still tempted.

Looks great!

Excellent review. The size, weight, price, and focal range of this lens add up to a very appealing piece of glass IMO. This could be a 'gateway drug' for novice photographers such as myself. F5.6-6.3 IMO is still pretty darn good considering all those factors. The versatility seems awesome. And with Sony's image sensors and focusing capabilities . . . dang.... I'm going to have to start saving some $. Thank you so much for a great real-world review . . . I enjoyed every minute of it. Cheers!

Amazing shots

great footage !

Wow man you inspiration to many people include me love your work keep it up

Excellent!

Thanks for the excellent review. It really helped me decide in what direction to go. We have lots of Osprey in San Diego. I was wondering what Focus Area you used on the A9 in this situation to get such a high rate of keepers?

Excellent sir .

Nice video. I am pondering over switching to mirrorless from Nikon SLR and these videos are very helpful. A question: could you please let me know the name of the background music track that starts playing around the 9:00 minute mark and plays till the end of the video ? Thanks.

Up there with the Best Wildlife photographers in the World, only 9.6k subs why, AMAZING

Love this lens. Can't believe it's only $2k. Great review.

Nice and helpful vid, mate. Thanks.

The a9, nowadays, is PRACTICALLY almost perfect. Absolutely incredible. And that lens is going to be a HOT seller.

Awesome intro!! Just subbed looking forward to watching more :)

Dream lens 🙌

May I ask what sort of focus settings you used for this session?

What focus mode were you using? You mention center point focus but was it with lock?

Amazing🔥🔥

Amazing work! Ospreys catching a fish would be dream footage for us to grab! Hoping to head off to see them in Wales in July (and filming an episode for our channel showing our experience). Hopefully our little 300mm lens does the job! haha

WoW Great shots 👍🇩🇪

Seeing it's awsome, it was amazing ❤❤❤❤

wow amazing

Great informative video. What's the bag you are using for this shooting?

Great review and photos Will, thanks very much!

woww...!! very good

Amazing

Hi Lucas, how did you set the camera to photograph birds in flight? thanks Carlo

How are you focusing that fast and keep the focus perfect?

I really loved your video Which camera you are using for vlogs And to which camera this new lens is connected

nice, would you have a link for a full definition raw of one of the picture of this shooting series? not the best of course, but just to see what the picture looks like at 25600 iso 1/2000s , thanks ;)

Very intriguing video. Nicely done. Quick question if you can answer it: How do you keep your battery from becoming exhausted in the cold? I have taken my Sony A6000 up in the mountains, and the battery seems to go decently quick when I'm shooting in freezing temperatures (-5C to 0C, for example)

2:10-2:22 which camera did u used to film this and how do u make it so stable?

Hello, Do you think that with this lens we can take pictures of correct sports at night ... in a properly lit stadium, I want to associate it with an a7iii or an a7riii.? Thank you

That's so cool

Just loved your video and presentation!! Excellent job... good live demo with pics.. very helpful! Subd to ur channel with a 🛎!! ! Post some more videos about this lens... cheers !

Wow amazing. Love from Indonesia

Excellent review. Thanks. Yes, an all the way f5.6, or not to mention a f/4, would've been ideal, but for an affordable combination in addition of less weight and size, for the majoritie of us, it's like a dream come true system.

Looks like you've been to rothiemurchus hide. Been there a few years ago and shot with a 7DII and a canon 100-400 (version II). Theses super-zoom lenses usually have one more disadvantage: the focus is very slow, compared to primes but also compared to some zooms (like the canon 100-400 II). Do you think the lens would have been fast enough to focus on the osprey before it hits the water? To track the ospreys when they take off is not that difficult, as they usually take some seconds to get out of the water, but they come in very fast.

Gnarly to have tiny camera on a ginormous lens. So cool. U have to be so patient to capter nature. Amazing. Envy you.

Editing was really good

Very nicely u have captured ths beauty

Great video and shots, how does this lens compare to the sigma 150-600mm C ? Curious if you've tried adapting it on the Sonys?

I love this lens... attach with a9 is superb...

Great review. At what focal length does it change from F5.6 to F6.3?

What Focus setting did you use? I like all pictures you took. I have A7R3 and 200-600mm I still can't find the best setting for bird photography. You doing very well. Can you please tell me what setting you used 🦅 pictures

Great pics! Which autofocus mode are you using most often with setup like this?

Superb clicks sir

What do you use to cull your photos? I have heard to use Photo Mechanic?

Nice review! Question, what did you use here for your videos? 👍🏼

Wow nice shots, how do you even focus in such a short time? Or do you use some kind of auto focus?

Outstanding pic

Thanks for making a great video! What backpack are you using?

Is it safe not to bring along your gears in cabin?

Wow, great job, the amount of production that went into the video... all those angles. Is 1/2000th really necessary to freeze the bird? I'd be looking for any way to bring the ISO down if possible. Still looked great though.

Awesome

are you using a mirrorless camera? if so which? thanks

I searched about beginner cameras and this shit is like blown up my mind

I trying to find out what's it like on the a7riv

Nice overview Will. I would love to photograph those Ospreys in the Cairngorms, looks epic! I suppose Sony has produced this lens with enthusiast wildlife photographers in mind and to tempt people away from using the Sigma or Tamron alternatives. I photograph & film wildlife using my Nikon DSLR gear for now & have the Sigma 150-600mm on a DX body, but it is very challenging keeping the ISO down here in 'grey' Britain! I suppose that's where a 400mm F2.8 comes in very handy. It's interesting that Nikon also has the 300mm F4 PF & 500mm F5.6 PF lenses which are cheaper, smaller & lighter than their larger counterparts. And it is rumoured that they are about to announce a 600mm F5.6 PF lens which would be about half the length of the Nikkor 600mm F4, and a lot cheaper of course! I know many people use the D500 with the Nikkor 200-500mm F5.6 which seems a good combo for wildlife. I think mirrorless is the future but DSLR's aint dead yet, especially for wildlife/sports/action/press etc
