Rich, I considered getting the 70-400 lens, too but I will wait until there is a need for me to justify getting it. The new version of that lens is in the same price category as the new and well received Canon 100-400mm Mark II lens. The price and handling/usability of the 500mm reflex lens, which to me carries more a \"toy\" connotation, on the other hand, is too good to be be passed up .
sirimiri, Sonolta, huh :? I like that name .
Derek, yes, I don\'t think they changed much, if anything other than adding the AF mechanism. Look at how the lens renders OOF water in our both shots . The bokeh on the image of your daughter, even with the donut-shaped highlights, is really fine . And, yes, the IBIS of the A7 II really shines through.
