Sony has just announced their new super telephoto prime (600mm f/4) and zoom (200 – 600mm f/5.-6.3). Of course, the 600mm f/4 is completely outside of the budget of anyone except the wealthy or the dedicated professional photographer (~$13,000). But the 200 – 600mm zoom is $2,000 which is possible. What I’m thinking of doing is renting the 200 – 600 and the 100 – 400 zooms and using the Sony 1.4X and 2X teleconverters compare the quality of the images between the zooms. After all, a 100 – 400mm zoom is a pretty useful thing whereas the 200 – 600 zoom is a beast. Now, the 100 – 400 is actually $500 more expensive than the 200 – 600 so I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that the 100 – 400 could match the 200 – 600. Either way it’ll be an interesting experiment. The 200 – 600 comes out in August stay tuned.
