Nice shots!So I've been wanting this lens for about 3 years. I rented one 2 years ago and it was amazing, so after this I defo knew I wanted it
Today it arrived and this is some sample first outing images taken using it - it looks good !
I'll be using it to photograph my sons footy team matches, his karting and airshows.

So, 2024 marks 20 years I have been into photography, purely in the digital age.
During this time I've had lot's of gear : expensive fast primes, high end macro lenses & lights, long telephoto F2.8 sport lenses and starting out with a Canon system, then switching over to Sony.
Now 'proper' photography is something I do occasionally, so value for money is the priority. But when I do it, I still want quality sharp photos.
This is my current camera gear, which gets used for sports and family portraits, when the iPhone doesn't cut it.
Going into 2025, I'm interested in seeing what Sony will bring with the new A7 Mk5 and some of the new cheaper 85mm F1.4 / F1.8 prime lenses look interesting too.

I love my 200-600 and probably my most used lens. One upgrade you might be interested in if you have any plans to shoot from a tripod I highly recommend the iShoot replacement lens foot which is Arca-Swiss compatible.
