| comment: | This lens produces; Beautiful colours, nice bokeh and you can get really sharp pictures. Sometimes stopping down is necessary for the best result, but the biggest aperatures will get an OK result. This combined with it's relatively small size and light weight for a 400 mm lens makes it an unique lens. You can zoom to 400 mm and make good pictures without using a tripod! Downsode of this lens is it's AF speed in low light. Beside that, AF speed on a a700 is OK. |
