Lens advice

[Deleted Member 0001]

I already own the 200-600, I am also considering buying the Sony100-400 to go with my impending A9ii purchase or would I be better off buying the 70-200 f/2.8 and I could use my 1.4x converter? 99% of my photos are birds.

The 70-200 2.8 is a solid fast lens and is more capable of handling the loss of 1 stop of light when using the 1.4TC

IMO for birds around 600mm is the price of admission, and for BIF it's best to have around 800mm.
Otherwise you're looking at hides or a lot of stalking.

Depends on the intended subject really. I am considering the 100 400 for Butterfly/Dragonfly shots because of the close focus ability. I'd also go for the Tamron 70 180 over the Sony now.
