Well, kinda. I ordered another lens (50-210mm) for my Sony camera - it was delivered yesterday. I didn't have a chance to test it out, other than looking it over, last night. This morning, while taking Murphy out, I put the lens through a few tests.
It was just before sunrise, so the moon was still out...
I am impressed with how this lens does with a potentially tricky exposure. This exposure was racked out to the longest focal length, and the relatively compact size of the lens made it easy to hand-hold for the exposure. As always, I compress images here, but the detail is excellent at full resolution.
I then swung to the east to get a photo of the clouds over South Mountain being lit from the sun before it was up over the horizon...
Good contrast and color. This lens is a keeper. Fast focusing. A nice compliment to the Sony a6700 camera.
One final test: capturing a moving feline in the low light...
Not his best angle, but the lens did a good job. This gives me a compliment of lenses to use with the Sony camera.

It's been a couple weeks since I got out on the Burgman 200 (the CTX has
been getting more attention). Took care of that this afternoon. Sunshine, high
in the upper 70s... no camera (stills or video), just riding with some
tunes in my ears. February and March are when we used to come visit Steph and Dan here in the desert, when we lived in the
Tropical Tip; yep, this is the good weather. Into the 80s for the next
week or so.
Some locals are moaning about it, saying "the heat" is coming too soon. Mesh riding jacket and pants today - it was just right.

"The south end of a northbound cat". A view we all know quite well as cat staff. Glad the lens worked out.
Here's a mental image for you: remember Fred Flintstone's footwork when bowling? That's what Murphy reminds me of as he first starts to move out... before it becomes a full-on run. I'll have to try getting a photo of him in the sunlight with that lens... and use a faster shutter speed to stop the motion.
