How are you liking your 150-600mm on the A99? These very long lenses are sort of special purpose, but a few months ago I bought an m4/3 Olympus 75-300mm (150-600mm FF equivalent) and have been having fun using it. I posted about it a few months ago:

I also posted this thread about using it at 300mm along with the 2x DTC to get a pseudo 1200mm FF equivalent:

It is crazy cool and results (if great care is taken in technique) are pretty good.

Thanks to all for commenting.
bakubo,
I am happy with the lens. Very versatile and the image quality is certainly acceptable. A sturdy tripod with a real sturdy mount is required. I used cable release as well for these and the fireworks shots. It really helps.
Yildiz,
You are welcome here anytime. Be well.
