There was a tidbit in that blog about a pending firmware update for the 70-200mm GM. That's the first I've heard of it but this guy is obviously networked in to Sony more than the average shooter.
I'm having trouble finding it but the sony slide that listed 30FPS lenses that was released on day 0 had the * software update required next to the 70-200 F2.8 . It is info that has been available since the announcement. I'm curious though as Fro and the Northrups both had issues with that lens on the a1 but blamed it on the 70-200 being old and in need of a new version. I might be in the minority but I kinda like my 70-200, sharp and have never had focus issues. maybe the firmware update is more about compatibility.... we'll see.
I must not have seen that *. None of the reviewers have really mentioned it in the post embargo vlogs. It does make you why folks are using the 70-200 GM to test? There are about 20 other lenses that would be much better candidates + not flagged for a firmware update.
