Do I miss my A7R3 with 70-200 GM?
No, I don't miss that 200mm reach. I do miss 280mm from my 1.4x teleconverter, but I have access to the whole track and can position myself wherever I want.
But I do however feel that I messed up somewhere.
I only shoot this previously on A7R3 with 70-200 GM. This time I used A7RIV with 135 GM.
I did not get tack sharp photos as I hoped. I turned off SteadyShot and 135 doesn't have panning mode. I did get more keepers, but I miss that "perfect photo" that you can zoom in and behold.
I'm gonna do next event on Saturday, turn on SteadyShot and see if I get better results....Show more →
Lovely pics everyone!
I am eagerly waiting to get one from B&H. But prices seems to be at all time high. What's the best price you paid to get yours? Is it worth waiting for the price drop? Please advice. Thanks.

I've been watching the price for about 8 months (since I started the move over to Sony) and it hasn't budged from its list price at all.
There is a reason why the 135GM doesn't turn op on secondhand sell-boards. I've been in your position, waiting for a good price / deal on this lens.
After waiting 18 months I've bought a open-box deal for close to full retail price. Never looked back since, and now know I've should have bought it asap
Btw, I read in an another forum that someone got it for around $1670 during the last summer sale through B&H. So there wasn't any sale as such? If so, then not worth waiting.
Also, seems like a DG DN version of Sigma135 is expected soon. Not sure if that would be comparable to GM.
