woah....no wonder....

how much did it came up to?

is the AF slow?

 

[TrailSeeker]

AF is slow in lowlight. but during outdoor, no problem..
IQ is the reason why i ordered this lens..

 

[boombox]

mmmm.....when i tested the sigma one, it looked soft even w/o comparison to other apertures....maybe it is the copy that i test......

hope it is not my skill...haha:bsmilie:

Actually, the Sigma seemingly trades sharpness for responsiveness (with the HSM) as compared to Tamron, which actually emphasized resolution - where it doesn't come equipped with a sonic wave motor - and the Tamron is sharper than the Sigma... (as seen from various review sources) :sweat:

mmm....I heard of the IQ of this lens before that's why am considering it...

so that means...either i get the Tamron and MF when in lowlight (which is one reason why i get it...) or i get Sigma and stop down the aperture when in lowlight?

or i get Sony which supposedly gives better results? haha :sweat:

anyone got sample pics of the sony 70200G at 200mm F2.8 unprocessed?

Below, although post processed, the 70-200G on 2.8 wide open. In the sports section i have uploaded another shot a few days ago, Valentino Rossi B&W shot, also taken with the 2.8. (I don't mind poisoning you .. *kekekeke* ... 62K Taiwan Dollar)

Bro... You pay for Kopi-C, you test my lens. Then decide if it's soft.

Rashkae, You mentioned that 70-300 is sharp and 70-200 is soft. Is this based on a same aperature comparison e.g. 200mm at F5.6 (70-200G) vs 200mm at F5.6 (70-300G)?

I owned a 70-300G and I sold that to get 70-200G. Just wondering if I still need to consider a 70-300G.

No, i mean wide open. Once you step down the 70-200 to 3.2 or 4, it's fantastically sharp. Even at f/2.8 it's sharp, but not as sharp as it is once stepped down a wee bit.

70200 G is a sharp lens even when use wide open. Not much to complain about other than the amount to pay.
Then again, quality comes with a price and there's always beercan available at a much smaller cost

Having bad encounter with third party lens, i would put my money on Minolta anytimes......even when the lens is 20 years old

 

[pipo999]

Sharp in the entire range as mentioned here above, soft is more pertaining to the image itself.

Buy lor the Sony, can use the original TC, won't regret.

 

[Galdor]

If you want sharp pictures from this range, better to wait for the Zeiss 70-200mm f2.8.

wooo.....MORE POISON...:devil:

haha....actually i just wanna see if the difference in IQ, usability of the 70200G as compared to tamron and sigma is worth the difference in price.

Zeiss is prb too expensive for me....:sweat:

wun be using TC for this lens....at least....haha

 

[godzilla60]

What 3 lenses?

sigma, tamron and the G lens

 

[ongll]

Is there going to be CZ70-200 at all? There is only will be CZ16-35 coming-up. No rumours other than that.

70-300G is a bit warm after use for sometime (SSM), drain battery more. not sure if more than 70-200, but it is less warm for sure.

 

[Galdor]

Saw it being mentioned here and I believe that Sony will produce that too.
