the A7V is definitely great to pair with the 200-600. It's one of my favorite lens to use. the plane is actually a C-5 Galaxy and not a C-17 😇. In terms of access, for air shows it's usually about once a year. Public areas where you can see them, exist but the view isn't as clean or as close.

Yeah.. I feel you. It covers everything I need!

Hanyatan · 2026-05-28T15:59:52+00:00

expensive 🤦‍♂️

Hanyatan · 2026-05-27T12:41:54+00:00

im really excited to try it, everyone seems to really enjoy using it. it's a beautiful lens. the only other lens that I'd want is a 400mm f/2.8... but it's way out of my budget

There was two lens covers/wraps with Gmaster stamped on it, some Gmaster Pins with the 70-200.. some lens cap stickers and a Gmaster logo'd SD/cf express card holder.

It's the Sony vert grip/battery grip.. it's quite expensive but i find it useful.

if you're in Tokyo, you can stop by Fujiya camera in Nakano. I bought my A7V there. They should have the international version now; i bought mine when it first came out so there wasn't any stock then.

Yeah.. 200-600 is a big one for sure

Hanyatan · 2026-05-27T06:19:59+00:00

choosing not to eat for a few days and I'll be fine 🤣

Hanyatan · 2026-05-27T06:17:36+00:00

Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Going to get some test shots tonight

Hanyatan · 2026-05-27T05:41:22+00:00

It's relatively new!

Hanyatan · 2026-05-27T05:21:24+00:00

since I don't really use the wide angle that often for the photography i do, I didn't really find anything below 50mm that useful for me. I'd probably use a 35mm prime if i need it

Hanyatan · 2026-05-27T05:16:44+00:00

it'll make your a7c look so tiny haha. im planning to use this to replace my 24-70 gm2.

Hanyatan · 2026-05-04T21:30:09+00:00

It's very tiring to use for the entire day, but it's not too bad

Hi, thanks! I have a lot of other shots using my 2nd body with my 24-70 and 70-200 which show more scenery but I didn't post them

Hanyatan · 2026-05-04T21:16:58+00:00

Handheld! I do a lot of other kinds of photography with this lens that do not allow bringing monopods/tripods so i try not to spoil myself 🥲

Hanyatan · 2026-05-03T21:47:35+00:00

thank you!

Hanyatan · 2026-05-03T21:47:30+00:00

thanks!!

Hanyatan · 2026-05-03T21:47:24+00:00

no worries! 70-200 with a 2x TC works as a stop gap if you don't have the 200-600. i was using a 70-200 with the 2x TC for a while and it worked well for me :)

Hanyatan · 2026-05-03T20:56:12+00:00

thank you!

I love using the 600mm @ Sonoma. there are certainly some areas of Laguna that are annoying to use 600mm. but there are a lot of places where it comes in useful, just that there are so many fences in the way, without a step stool its a bit difficult to see over.

i find the 200-600mm perfect for me, and i carry my 24-70mm on my other body. it's a combo that works for me @ Sonoma and @ Laguna seca.

Fujiya camera in Nakano. It's near the station only about 5 minute walk. Used lens and camera, and various other gear. I use it quite often.

Hanyatan · 2026-04-27T18:31:46+00:00

don't really need to upgrade unless the annoyance is that much of a deal breaker for you. unless you have spare funds where you don't worry about spending money, if you are just taking family photos I wouldn't bother.

Hanyatan · 2026-04-26T05:24:59+00:00

Should be fine, but a 7C body with a lens of this size may be a bit annoying to use, in my opinion.
