78 Landscape Score
150-500mm f/5 Sony E IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Its 150-500mm zoom range in a relatively compact 1880g package provides substantial reach for a full-frame Sony camera. The VXD linear autofocus motor and VC image stabilization are key features for maintaining sharp shots at long focal lengths. This lens is best for wildlife and sports photographers who need a portable telephoto option without the bulk of a super-telephoto prime.
