Pros: Fast AF, Excellent focal length, Very low CA, Excellent sharpness from 150 to 400mm ( Very good sharpness from 400 to 600mm), Close minimum focus
Cons: Strong vignette, Heavy weight
Opinion: A very good lens for wildlife photographers with an excellent focal length range.Although the aperture is 6.3 at 600mm, so it is not a negative point for this price range.The lens has vignetting problem at all focal lengths, but it can be fixed in editing. The heavy weight of the lens is painful.
Also, the lens body is very good and can be easily used on mirrorless cameras with a firmware update
Pros: focal length, the cheapest way to achieve 600mm. sharpness, stop down to f7.1 or f8 for best results. AF. comparative size/weight. price.
Cons: not as sharp as the primes. focus ring turns opposite way to canon and ergonomics not as good as canon tele zooms. Size weight, heavy lens.
Opinion: I really like using this lens, not perfect but very very good. Best IQ on full frame or 1.3 crop. APSC still good. I think I may have got a good copy as I understand some others have focus sharpness problems. Not as good as my canon 100-400 ll lens but very hard to tell the difference. Build quality very good. heavy lens but manageable with a strap to take the weight. arch swiss tripod foot as standard. I previously owned the sigma contemporary which I sold as had issues with sharpness and focusing. The lens is relatively heavy but still able to carry around for hours easier than a prime, therefore the better option as will use more often. Ability to blur the backgrounds at F8 given the right circumstances, very pleasing results. No hesitation in using this lens instead of my 100-400. I recommend this lens.

Cons:It loses some sharpness at longer lengths (550-600mm); cost (but worth every penny)
Opinion:What can I say, I'm having a lot of fun with this lens, comfortable to use once you get used to it. Practically no flares, excellent color rendering, exceptional stabilization, excellent minimum distance (2.2m). Unfortunately it loses a bit of sharpness at higher focal lengths but it is an excellent compromise between quality and price. I use it a lot for landscape and I don't regret it
Cons:Weight. Poor quality at longer lengths (500/600). Not perfect focus
Opinion:I've been using this lens for 4 months. Purchased used by RCE Foto. I use it with Nikon Z50 and adapter ring to have a 900 mm focal length available. I took freehand photos from a boat at the eruption of Stromboli in May and I was able to see a remarkable stabilization, despite the movement of the boat caused by the sea. I took freehand photos of birds of prey in flight and I noticed many blurred photos (not blurred because I used very fast shutter speeds 1/2,000-1/4,000). The quality of the photos is not that great at the maximum lengths (for which I bought the lens), despite the fact that it never exceeded 12,800 iso (native for the F50) with frames shot mostly at 3,200 iso. I always used position 3 of the stabilizer. Certainly the result was better if compared to the photos taken with the P1000 at 1,600 iso (beyond this level the photos of the P1000 are unwatchable), but keep in mind that with the P1000 I used double focal lengths (around 2,000 mm) and the camera is much less heavy (less than 1.5Kg against the almost 3 Kg of the Zoom/Z50/Adapter system)
Cons:Brightness and sharpness loss over long distances.
Opinion:Good price/performance compromise. Not really a walking lens but considering the characteristics it is easily usable even freehand. Wide focal range and excellent minimum distance (2.2 m. on all focal lengths). Well stabilized with 3 positions: 1 panorama, 2 panning, 3 random movs. Location 3 great for flying birdlife. Fast autofocus. Brightness is not its strong point, given the price and everything else for me it is a great buy. In medium distances good resolution, towards infinity it loses some sharpness (not due to focus). Used with Nikon D500 excellent matching.
