Real world 200-600mm versus 100-400mm size comparison

Share

DC.watch posted a set of new images of the new Sony 200-600mm and 600mm lenses. The image on top caught my attention. You see the new 200-600mm size compared with the 100-400mm lens when fully extended. It’s hard to choose between the two lenses because:

The 100-400mm lens should be sharper, is a tiny bit faster and it’s definitely a lot shorter and easier to carry around
The 200-600mm lens has way more tele reach, no extending zoom and it’s cheaper than the GM

And here are a few more images:

200-600mm FE on the Sony A7III

Washington post: Noisy cameras make trouble in NBC debate hall…with the exception of the Sony A9

Share

The Washington Post reports that during the NBC debate hall:

NBC producer picked up on the whirring sound of the cameras. A directive was quickly relayed: No shooting unless it coincided with audience applause

Luckily Times photographer Doug Mills and other Beltway photojournalists had the Sony A9 camera:

The A9 is a mirrorless apparatus that makes no sound. It came in handy for Mills on Wednesday night. He was in the second shift that was allowed close to the stage. “When I got there,” recalls Mills, “the woman who was from NBC said, ‘Hey, you can’t shoot.’ I explained to her my camera was mirrorless and she was like, ‘Why doesn’t everybody have one of these?’ So then I just kept shooting.”

“I had a great advantage,” says Mills.

Cool :)

SAR note: Please no political comments on this matter. Thanks!
