| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Minolta AF 100-400/4.5-5.6 APO Minolta AF 75-300/4.5-5.6 Big Beercan Tamron 200-400/5.6 |
| price paid: | 1900 SEK |
| positive: | Long reach. Very little distortion. |
| negative: | Zoom creep. Hunting above 250mm. Not the best build, maybe my copy was used heavily before I bought it. I had to send to repair after a while, the focus stuck. Repair costed as much as the lens. |
| comment: | Much more hunting than the 75-300. Needs stopping down for center sharpness above 250mm. Sharper and less flares than the Tamron. At the short end sharpest of my compared telezooms. At the long end not that sharp. Needs to stop down to f:11 for edge sharpness above 250mm. Works best with A77/A99 with manual focus override. |
