After owning this lens for a couple of weeks, I must say that I am impressed by it! It matches my expectations for a GM lens (The glass portion anyway), while not having that price. Likely this is due to it being built in China over Japan, and they worry about possible build quality slips. I have heard about people getting soft images, but this was not my experience. With all of that said, I received mine and it has been spectacular!
Using the Sony A7r iii this lens comes alive! I do mostly wildlife photography which is why I picked up this lens and happened to find a willing subject in a Peregrine Falcon! Photo attached with a 100% crop of the eye to show the clarity. It has easily exceeded my expectations and is far superior to the Sigma 150-600 lens I was using previously. I typically shoot it wide open and have no image blur aside from what I accidentally introduce in images. I passed over the 100-400 GM lens + 1.4 teleconverter for this, and I must say that I am quite happy with the results!
The only cons I'd say were that I needed to swap to the Lowepro Protactic 450 bag to fit the lens and that it's quite heavy for extended sessions.
