Is it sharp at 600mm?

Yes. Owners and reviewers report strong sharpness across the zoom range, including the long end, helped by the ED and aspherical elements.

Does it work with teleconverters?

It accepts Sony E-mount teleconverters, which extend reach further, though the aperture narrows and autofocus slows somewhat.

Is it good for handheld wildlife shooting?

It can be, thanks to Optical SteadyShot and the internal zoom, but at about 2.1 kg many shooters prefer a monopod or tripod for long sessions.

How does it compare with a 600mm prime?

The zoom is far lighter and more flexible, covering 200-600mm, but a fast 600mm prime gives a brighter aperture and better low-light performance at much higher cost and weight.

Is it weather sealed?

Yes. It has a dust- and moisture-resistant design and a fluorine-coated front element that sheds water and dust.
