Well said, Joel. The 7r iv with the 200-600 is not a good combo for flight photography (at least in my hands ) but it is great working at close range.

Actually, Arash’s standards are to the right of the bell curve 🙂

There are many posts across many sites complaining that it does not “play well” with the a7r4 compared to the a9II. Presumably due to the very small pixels and/or a focusing issue with that particular combination but I don’t know if that’s been proven or substantiated by Sony (or anyone else).

Also, I would not ever expect that it would be as sharp or focus as fast as a high end prime lens.

Still, for many, its performance is acceptable and a great value for the money.

For Arash it is not. His standards for acceptable performance are likely on the far right of the bell curve compared to most amateur photographers.
