Thank you for doing this review. I have read and watched so much info on this lens along with the 100 - 400 and this here has confirmed for me it is the way to go.

Wow, got to give it to Sony, they are really making some quality photography equipment! Loved this video, the scenery is just beautiful. I love that whole area and Sparks Lake has been featured in many magazines. Always look forward to your videos.

I love the way you tell a story. Great photography complimented by terrific narration.. Very enjoyable videos Mark. Wishing you many happy Clicks. And the Sony 200-600 lens looks very impressive. Cheers..🙂

I watch a lot of wildlife photography and I must admit to taking my hat off to those shot's, it keeps me trying and I learn new tricks everytime I watch, well done

Beautiful story telling ... brings the whole point of photography from specs and arguments back to its real purpose!!!

Great stuff Mark ,you nailed those Hummers and Osprey. Beautiful background also ,well done

Brilliant Mark. That's your best video yet, your knowledge, passion and professionalism shine through. Love the narrative, you won't be staying on 37k subscribers for long. Keep em coming mate!

Your video is just amazing and complete -- beautiful landscape/shots/narratives.

That was such a great trip you took us all on!

Another great shoot and another great story. Thanks for bringing us along. The 200-600 sound great.

Stunning scenery and stunning photography superb.

Fantastic photography & narration as always Mark! That Sony FE lens is really amazing. Thanks for taking us along on your continued photo op............. :)

Incrível! Que bela expedição, belas fotos!

Thanks Mark (and all your cohorts - including the osprey). Excellent video, images, and wildlife story!

Outstanding video and you convinced me that I need to soon start to change over to Sony. The a9 and the 200-600 look to be an ideal setup. I have watched all of your 112 videos and I have enjoyed every one of them. Thanks for all your hard work for our enjoyment!!

Another top job Mark. What a stunning location.

Good job, Mark. Glad you got to make that trip. It seems like everyone that was there had a great time.

Love the Osprey shots! Thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful photos. You do lovely work. Keep it up.

looks superb, and sounds like you all had fun time.

Very nicely done video, Mark. I've come to really respect your opinion on gear after watching so many of your videos and seeing the quality of the shots you get. Of course, I'm sure there's a little skill involved! Thank you for sharing this.

Superb! Thanks for sharing!

You are inspiring us all Mark Smith! -- Thank You!

Thanks for sharing your passion and awesome storytelling

On my word. What a place to do photography. Gorgeous landscapes. Awesome birds to take amazing shots of. I so love the osprey. Just an amazing bird. And Sony is putting out amazing cameras and lenses. So many are selling their gear to go to them. And I see why by what they are making. I won't be changing though. Can't afford it. But enough people are maybe someday I will get my dream D500 cheap enough I could afford it. Yeah right. (Trying to live on social security disability is depressing for a photographer. But I'm blessed beyond my means thanks to awesome people.)

Wow. What a beautiful place. I really love wildlife photography

Fantastic Mark... Couldn't get enough of your story narration

What can I say, you never disappoint. Mind blowing

Hey wicked review man! You always do the most realistic reviews with fantastic content!

I love listening to your stories, and watching your videos Mark! I love my 200-600mm lens also, and someday I may try out the 600mm F4. That Sony Kado 3.0 looks amazing! The gear is amazing, plus getting to try out the lenses is an incredible opportunity!

so awesome Mark! thanks for sharing the great content!

Fantastic images Mark and beautiful location.

Hi Mark! Great content and what a nice lens! I recently bought one for my alpha a7II and it does take nice shots. I'm pretty new to wildlife photography and thought that I wouldn't have to get too close to fill up the frame to see the minute details, but I find I still have to crop. I know I need to keep working on my technique. Do you crop or just maneuver a little bit closer to the subject to fill up the frame?

Really enjoy your narratives and most importantly, your photos. Thanks for sharing.

Spectacular! Wow. The bird's wingspan in comparison to its' body length is incredible. Thank you so much!

Really informative and explanatory video !

Just Amazing. Brilliant Video. Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. Greatings From Norfolk UK

Great video Mark! My 200-600 hasn't shipped yet but I'm really looking forward to getting it and trying it out. Loved the shot of the Osprey with all the wing area and layers too.

Stumbled upon this video based on search for the 200-600mm lens... very glad I found this channel. Honest review and engaging -- subscribed

I just love what you do keep it up dude

Some of your best work Mark!

Wow just when I think your videos couldn't get any better they do. I'm in awe of the Osprey Images.

Beautiful video Mark!

Good stuff like always Mark! Just got mine yesterday! Can't wait to take it for a spin!!

The narrative on this one 🤟🏻🤟🏻

Thanks for sharing stunning photography

simply amazing stuff!

Another great video, thank you Mark......awesome stuff.

A bestie! Hummingbirds and Ospreys, oh my! That osprey shot is a wall hanger! Thanks for gorgeous images!

Amazing vid, bro!

Love your work and love your voice 🥰

STUNNING AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark you never cease to amaze me. Your poetic narratives are only surpassed by you action packed moments of beauty that are timeless elegance. This is the magic of photography. Capturing the moment and freezing it so that it can be studied and appreciated beyond what the human eye can record. Some day we will meet. ~ your neighbor

Library? That was unreal all those lenses, more like paradise. Great video as ever Mark and commentary of the highest quality, as ever. Sparks Lake now on the bucket list!

Very good compilation and thanks for sharing this beauty.. amazing how this breathtaking view is completely underplayed here though 😀

Fantastic shots really super!

Wow! I bought the lens recently but couldn’t get to test it though. Breathtaking photos and ear-pleasing description. You are a good poet too.

Awesome job Mark! Jim

looks like you had alot of fun thanks Mark ps I also love my 200 to 600 Sony

Beautiful pictures and video. Thank you.

You upload amazing videos! Good work & wonderful explanations! 😃 🙏

Mark thanks for the video! AUSOME! Im so glad that Sony made this lens affordable for those in the hobby, and I had enough foresight to preorder one after announced! I really love this lens and finally have a great 600mm! Also funny how my first photo was a Ruby Throated Hummer, light was terrible, but still a wow! Please keep up the videos and great stories.

Your content is so relaxing and beautifull wow i want to have more experiences like this myself

love watching your videos!!!

My dream setup. I have the a9, I'm going to be buying a 70-200f2.8 for sports this winter... but my soul lusts for the 200-600! Incredible shots!!

It makes me feel what new level of AF beast the A9 ii will be with a superb photographer like Mark, awaiting for that future video already...

Awesome video Mark

Mark, as ever, this is a beautiful video. But the shots of the Ospreys taken against the mirror like water of lake with the stunning backdrop, are on another level. I honestly consider the stills you chose are the best that I have ever seen you take. That Sony combo certainly appears to be incredible. I now have to go away and think of the best reasons in the world to explain to my long suffering wife, why I need to switch to the A9 and 200-600 from my Nikon D500 with 200-500. Incidentally, I recently bought her the Sony RX10 mk4, which also has a 600mm equivalent lens and she loves that camera.

Your narration is like poetry💙💙💙💙

great and amazing work ..

Absolutely Fantastic !!

Love your videos

Awesome video Mark, and I must say absolutely fantastic shots of those Ospreys! One question to complement your sharing of settings is the focus area for those action/diving/splashing moments, do you select Wide, Zone, or AF tracking? I sometimes get blurry shots at the moment of impact and wonder if one setup may be better than other?

Fantastic video and stunning images 👍

Watching this I feel like I was at your elbow learning and sharing the wonderful experience!

Another great video, photos and commentary . I love this channel :). Greetings from Poland :).

Mark, you are amazing!

thank u mark i really love your videos n stunning photos n videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Smith waxing lyrical and taking fabulous pictures, what more could I ask?! Thanks Mark, terrific video, as usual. I'm very tempted by the 200-600, but I've been getting great results with the 100-400 and 1.4x converter, so I'll wait a while.
