Glad I could help. I’m always interested in light weight gear

I love the 200-600 lens. The internal zoom is what makes it a spectacular lens. It's like there are no moving part, you don't feel the lens elements move and the barrel doesn't extend the length of the lens. Same goes for the 70-200 f4. Sony zoom. I don't see an issue with not having many long lenses or long aps-c zoom lenses. The idea is to get that reach and the a6000 series will give you that added reach. It really is not an argument or a hill worth dying on. Sigma just made a great zoom, perfect for aps-c cameras, the 70-200 f2.8. It turns into a 140-300mm lens. That makes it probably the best deal available.

Well said. I do love the zoom ring on the 200-600 and I was surprised how easy it was to turn compared to my Tamron 50-400.

Hi can i ask if you know if the a6700 can handle ISO 6400 noise and slightly above for bord photography while also cropping the image post process?

Hi. I want to start wildlife photography and videography again. I’m torn between the a6700 or the a7III again that I used to have with a 200-600 Sony. Which affordable lens would be best with converters for extra focal length? I’m not very technical.

The a6700 will give you much better AF for capturing wildlife. Think about how much weight you’re willing to carry and choose and lens based off that. The 200-600 is too big for me but if I was more serious about birding I’d get it.

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried 200-600 and also found it too heavy. I'm leaning into 70-350 now but a bit worried it doesn't have enough reach for birds.

Yes, I agree. That’s why I’m still using the tamron 50-400. But 350 vs 400 probably isn’t that big of a deal and I know a lot of wildlife shooters are using 400mm on full frame so it’s probably still very much doable.

I used to have the 100-400 GM lens which was great. But, found that I didn't really need it since I also had the 70-200 GM II with teleconverters and the 200-600 G lens. The 70-200 GM II you expect to be great and it is. But, I'm always surprised how much I like the photos from the 200-600 G which I used with my full frame cameras as well as my a6600. But, use whatever works for you.

That’s helpful to hear. The 200-600 is still on my bucket list but I’m mostly worried about weight. Looks like you have an awesome setup for days you need something lighter or ultratelephoto. I’m surprised you’re using a heavier lens more. Props to you

@@Davidmccombs I'm all about smaller and lighter these days. But, sometimes you have to make exceptions. I am considering the Sigma 500mm DG DN Sport lens. But, for now, the Sony 200-600 G still works for me.

I’m using currently A9 and 70-200GM2 and 200-600G. Currently I’m trying to decide if it is better to buy x1.4 teleconverter or a6700 to have more reach. Additionally it is always to have extra body and a6700 has some nice AF and Video features ;-)

Interesting. I got the a6700 so I wouldn’t need a teleconverter. I couldn’t justify the cost of the teleconverter but it would be nice to have one camera for both full frame and crop!
