I will post some comparison shots in the next day or two with the 70-200 GM + 1.4 x Teleconverter compared to the 70-300 G lens. I'm still waiting on the 2.0 x Teleconverter so those shots will have be to wait a bit. I'll compare the 400mm GM shots with my Tamron 150-600 lens. Chuck

I am wondering, why so few 70-200/2.8 GM images are posted. Very quiet everywhere. Looking forward to them as I am on the fence of buying it. Additionally, it would be interesting to get hands-on experience regarding AF, AF-C as well as AF-S.

There's only been one very small shipment so far.

I am equally perplexed!! The first stock sold-out, seemingly everywhere, the first day, yet almost no mention is made of anyone using the lens on any major forums. I want to order the lens, but will not do so until I know that it is truly outstanding and at least equal to my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 II.

So far I am underwhelmed by the bokeh of the 70-200 in backlit situations. Most images show stronger swirl and structures within the bokeh balls, very clearly seen in some you-tube videos and in this series of images (some from Lucinda indicate this, too, in the finer branches): https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/58276720

I share your analysis and conclusion. Hopefully, further posts by others will show better bokeh; otherwise, it looks like I will save $2,600 and continue to use my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 II. Of course, I am really waiting for a direct comparison between the lenses - shot in the same conditions. With the slow rate of published material on this lens, it may come from my waiting until it is available for rent, which might be awhile, given the slow rate of product release by Sony.

From Saturday's wedding. It's awesome to have a native long option now.
