I rented the lens to test how it performs at an indoor soccer arena Friday evening and then again with the Indy Eleven men last night under to lights. Big difference on IQ shooting ƒ2 indoors where the ISO range appeared to improve by 2/3 stop vs ƒ2.8. The isolation and creamy background were impressive. While this was somewhat expected, I only shoot a minimal number of these games as the the USL W-League home matches are 4-6 per season. the realy test was how I could incorporate the lens for the men's matches outdoors that start at 7pm.
Last night I shot the 50-150 along side the 400, both attached to Sony A1s. Concern was the limited reach, use of the A1's apsc mode, cropping and the effect on IQ. Here are three shots, note the cropping amounts etc. Last one is kinda of different. It was still in apsc mode but zoomed only to 129mm vs 150 that's 193mm vs 225. Photo was then cropped.
Pleasantly pleased.
