Quaternity Lenses

[Malsam]

I’m new to Sony system and taken some time to understand the current FE system lens map. I understand there are f2.8 versions of 12-24, 24-70, 70-200, 200-600 (non f2.8). For the things I shoot and the lenses I acquired for my other systems (Canon,Nikon, Fuji and Panasonic) I often find myself going for the trinity zooms. Switching to Sony now, I realise that there is a 4th zoom that completely covers from 12 to 600. The last would be a great 2nd lens for my wildlife and birding use.

Want to know how many of us here had this setup and able to share your experience owning them? Eg. Too heavy, big, exp, usage etc

12-600?

Oh.....I was thoroughly confused there! Thanks for clearing this up! Sure, if one has the 12-24mm zoom, a couple in the middle (say, 24-70, then the 70-200mm), and then the 200-600mm zoom, this makes sense. Using all zooms may cover a wide range of focal lengths but sometimes prime lenses better help the photographer accomplish certain kinds of images. I have a mix of zooms and primes because I do want to shoot with very fast lenses from time to time and I also want macro lenses as part of my repertoire. We all need to develop our own preferences and shooting styles...

I would have called it a quartet, but quaternity is a real word (even if auto-corrupt insists on "correcting" it to quaternary). I looked it up!

I only have the 70-200 (mark II) and the 200-600 - is that a duopoly?

Thanks to share your thoughts guys! Im excited to build the kit up and initially I was thinking to go all primes since I had never done that before and Sony primes are nice and cute! However doing my sums and only having a single body, I really don’t want to be changing lenses especially in occasions and events not to mention its a lot more expensive if I would to pick up most of them.

Does anyone had managed to have the zooms I’ve listed?
