 Re: CY 100-300mm. Should I be excited? | |
I know what you mean Fred--I never warmed to my FE 70-200 and sold it. Having a hard time warming to my GM 85.
I use my 28 FE consistently, but not my favorite. It\'s the color palate of Sony lenses I dislike. I picked up a canon 70-200 f4 which I like better than the FE, and I skipped the 70-300 from Sony. I ordered a CY 100-300 and was enormously impressed on my a7rii WO. It was stolen 5 days after I purchased it. It\'s very sharp, low ca, practically no fringing, negligible distortion, super micro contrast and rich color palate, even by Zeiss CY standards.
To me, it goes with the best of CY glass--I don\'t think you\'ll be disappointed optically, mechanically or rendering wise. I did find it very hard to MF even with focus magnify, and IBIS wasn\'t so effective at longer lengths. I ended up turning it off mostly.
I was hoping desperately for a Batis zoom--specifically a 100-300, but we got the FE. I am torn now between another CY 100-300 or the canon 70-300 L...Ming Thein said it was a toss up between the two, but he used the CY.
