ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | 70-200G / 70-400G / 300G SSM |
price paid: | 700 euro |
positive: | Very compact light lens. AF speed as fast as the 300G SSM. Compatible with teleconverters 1.4X & 2.0X. Compatible with AF Range on A77II & A99 Lens hood permanently on lens and very easy to slide back for storage. I wish they could build also the new lens hood like. this |
negative: | None |
comment: | I wish Sony could build this lens again with SSM but then we will complain about the price 2500~3000 euro I think. This lens on A77II is AF speed demon. You can add the 1.4X & 2.0X teleconverter with little loss of image quality This lens is a bargain for what you pay and what you get |
