7. Coma, astigmatism and bokeh

The Sony FE 200-600 mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS doesn't have any meaningful problems with coma correction. Deformations of point-like sources of light are slight and remain so even in the very corners of full frame. What's more, you can't spot any noticeable differences between particular focal lengths.

Astigmatism, understood as an average difference between vertical and horizontal MTF50 function values, amounted to 3.6% and it is a very low value. In this area the Sony 200-600 mm deserves to be praised.

Defocused circles of light look very nice, especially if you take into account the fact that you deal here with a zoom lens, with an aspherical element inside. Here you really don't have any reason to complain: light spread inside the circles is even, the intensity the outer rim - negligible, and mechanical vignetting disappears completely on stopping down the aperture by 2 EV.
