how is the quality in terms of sharpness? AF ?
and then build quality and how is the weight? .. is about the same as 150-400
how does it feel well balanced ?
The advantage of the 150-400 is that I hardly notice any loss of quality if I have TC on.. of course it is 100mm shorter but better brightness.
at what focal length does it switch to f6.3 ?

I might have some answers to all of those in a month or so.
- The strap eyelets are different and larger, so one can't use the Peak Design anchor links.
- The tripod mount foot should be twice as long, as many like to carry the lens with their hand around it, but it is too short.
- The zoom lens lock is a great idea, but the switch is too small and very finicky to use.
Tony, I'm using the Peak Design anchor links on my 150-600mm and haven't encountered any issues yet; the foot is ridiculously small at 30mm x 85mm, but Leofoto offers a replacement foot that is 19mm x 120mm. There are others but usually more expensive than Leofoto.
A pair of bald eagles has visited almost every day for the past month--maybe they will be residents. Until this year we got only a few visits a year, mostly just flyovers.
They are the largest swallows in North America. I rarely see them both together on the ground. This couple was collecting twigs and other materials to rebuild their nests.
Some amazing shots I'm seeing here.
I'm very impressed with the image quality I'm seeing from this lens. If I weren't creeping up on 80, it would be on my shopping list. I have a hard enough time dealing with my 100-400mm Mkll these days.
