Primes rule!

SEL400F28GM 16/11/2023 by Mike9911 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

I was extremely pleased with the IQ of the Sony Primes vs the zooms lens. They are very expensive but less than Nikon. If you can justify the cost you will see a noticeable difference in IQ from the primes.

Great Quality

SEL400F28GM 07/07/2022 by Eagle Boy (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

I love every about the Len Except for the lens hood. It would be a lot better if it was like the Minolta 600 lines that I had at one time, the Lions hood slid back it did not come off the lens I really like that all you had to do was slide it back and twist it and lock it on and then put the lens cover on.

A really well balanced lens that makes it easy to

SEL400F28GM 13/02/2022 by pete 71 (United Kingdom)

A first-class lens that works extremely well with the Sony 1.4 Teleconverter and hopefully it will work just as well with the 2x converter when it is delivered.

Awesome

SEL400F28GM 02/09/2020 by Larry77 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

Being a wildlife and bird photographer, this lens is amazing. Tack sharp with the 2X teleconverter. Mostly use it on the 7RIII with sharp and fast focus. The lens takes Sony to another standard. I am waiting for the 600 to be a available since sometimes I need a little more reach.

Great Sports Lens

SEL400F28GM 11/02/2020 by throdown (USA)

I bought the 400mm lens for the sole purpose of shooting local sports, and I have been very pleased with the results in combination with my 24mm GM and 70-200 GM. To top that off, I just placed a deposit for the 600mm and can't wait to receive it!
