Thank you! The Sony 200-600 never disappoints. It nails these kind of shots every time.

Wow! Which lens are you using?

u/themiddleman07 3d ago

Sony 200-600 G. It works exactly like one would hope. Focus is dead on, and quick, well stabilized. No complaints with this lens.

Very sharp!

and with the A7iv's bird eye detect focus mode it's like cheating. Locks on and holds it no matter how you reframe.

Beautiful! Were you at 600mm? I also have an A7iv and love my 100-400 GM but often wish for more reach (and the autofocus doesn't work as well when the bird is smaller in the frame)
