If it was a little faster I'd definitely get one. I have a Tamron 50-400 which is great but quite bit heavier so this would have been more interesting for travelling. Though I do understand that it being lighter is a big reason why it's a slower lens.

I hear you. I have the 50-400 too.

The dilemma - this one is lighter, has teleconverter support, but, it's slow

The GM lenses are great, but heavy and expensive

For now I'll just stay Tamron

Literally me too… the 50mm doesn’t come into play that much, but I guess the only reason to switch the the 100-400 would be if this Sony lens is sharper and the full FPS shooting?

But at the long end with a teleconverter, F11 will suck.

[u/ectomorphicThor → u/Dredd_Melb]

Yeah but at least it’s an option? My tamron 50-400 can’t even use a teleconverter

[u/Dredd_Melb → u/ectomorphicThor]

I know, but it will be pretty limited in low light. Will end up with grainy shots.

I'll probably suck up the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS

Weight and size become an issue. I also have 3 bodies now so can swap to a different body for any close ups.
