I had to wait quite awhile for this lens. It was worth it. I am a recent convert to a Sony a7 r ii from Nikon. The transition is proving daunting but this lens makes it all worth while. And special thanks to Abt for being the only place able to obtain it!

This lens will work with any Sony or Minolta lens that is white in color. I have both the 1.4X and the 2X Teleconverters. I prefer the 1.4X.

No Loss Of Contrast

I bought this 1.4 teleconverter because I cannot afford the 12,000 dollar 500mm telephoto lens. I thought I'd try this on my 70/400 mm telephoto lens. Problem is I cant manually focus the long shots, which is why I bought this. So I have this expensive piece of gear for moon shots. For now.

Extremely sharp; Constant f/2.8 aperture; Includes tripod collar

Expensive; Big and heavy; Noticeable distortion

The 70-200mm f/2.8 lens is very popular, thanks to its speed and versatility, but is the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G worth spending your money on? The Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G is available only for Sony DSLRs.

The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G is without doubt an excellent lens. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's based on a 7-year old Minolta design - it's at least a match for the more recent third party options from Tamron and Sigma, and only just outperformed by Nikon's very latest (and pricey) 70-200mm F2.8...

Excellent image quality on full frame; very good on APS-C; Superb build quality; Fast; silent autofocus with manual override; Well-placed AF stop buttons

A bit soft wide open at the telephoto end on APS-C; No dust or moisture sealing (which we'd expect in a 'Pro' level lens; Slightly suspect image quality at closest focus (very soft indeed at F2.8; Extremely expensive compared to third party alternatives

The price tag reflects the build quality and performance of Sony's fast 70-200mm f/2.8 G lens. Compatible with APS-C format and 35mm sized sensor cameras, it covers a focal length range of 105-300mm with the former.

THE TEST SCORES SLR.GEAR ARE TRUE!! This lens is a good 70-200mm IS works well down to 1/200th at 200mm. The lens is just as sharp as the 70-400mm between 70-400mm at f/4-f/8, but not sharper. IF you use a TC 1.4x the 70-400mm will blow this out of the water!!

Bright superb color rendering

Focus speed is just ok ; Not as sharp as price indicates
