auto_awesomePixelfetch Take

Both Sony G Master primes come in under 1kg and sit at a significant price premium over the 200-600mm zoom that overlaps their focal lengths. Northrup finds the 600mm f/6.3 noticeably sharper than the zoom at that focal length, while the 400mm f/4.5 is a closer call. Teleconverter results on a 60MP sensor are also covered, including a Viltrox 2x.
