I generally shoot with Sony A1. But use it on the 9ii and A7riii.
It does it with all of the bodies. And the 7riii doesn't get much use with it.

Thanks so much. You are most welcome.
Yep, sounds like the lens, as it isn't likely all your bodies are the problem.
Cheers and best to you.

Has anyone had a problem with the Sony 200-600 being loose on the camera mount? Mine has loosened - and it is on either body I use. So definitely the problem is with the lens.
I notice focus not as quick has it had been. It may just be me.
I tried tightening the screws on the lens, which someone had suggested. That was not the problem.
Any suggestions? Otherwise, will send it in for service.

As for seeing Gerald's photos (btw very nice shots, Gerald) and then commenting how good the lens must be, I'm reminded of people seeing my photos and commenting that I must have a really nice camera.
CJW, how are other lenses on your two bodies? And do you know anyone with an e-mount body you can mount your 200-600 on? I know, the lens is loose on two bodies, but it's still possible both camera mounts are bad.
I had to replace the mount on my a7R a few years ago. I did it myself with an aftermarket mount I found on Amazon.
If I recall correctly, Precision Camera starts with a flat rate price for simple repairs -- and it goes up from there. So replacing a lens mount might cost several hundred dollars, the same as for adjusting focus of something.

Thanks so much. .
Yes I also posted it might be the camera mounts, but I dont know if the OP could have it on multiple bodies at the same time, but anything is possible.
The OP could call Precision and get a estimate over the phone and know where he stands. Hopefully there is a way to fix it beyond all our suggestions, without having to send it to Precision . I am assuming the lens is past warranty ? If not, then Precision can do any repairs under warranty.
The OP seems receptive to any good possible fixes , so keep them coming.
Cheers and best to you.
