Wish I was in the Netherlands…
I’m not buying a macro as long as I can invert my 50mm
And lose AF, lose MF or worse, lose the ability to compose properly. Good luck with that.
But, what were their original prices? Usually, its very expensive in Europe to start with…
Tamron 70-200 f2.8 is nearly 1/3rd of the price of the Sony one BUT is slowest AF on class. I ask if there where plans to make a USD version but was told not. The 70-300 is probably second only to SAL70300G it has USD and is at least £200 cheaper in the UK. If Sony don’t announce telephoto partner for 16-50 soon I may get one of these instead and it may even cost Sony the sale as I am not rich enough to replace £350-£550 lens willy nilly. If they announce anything decent I will probably buy it plus a cheaper independent to fill any gap in speed or range.
I agree about the Tamron 70-200. I own it and have had my share of issues shooting sport photos.At times I like my 75-300 sony lens better.
The SAL-70200G is around € 1750,- here, which i bought. So with cashback i’ll set you back 1550,- euro.
Tamron also doing cash back. I would rather have a new Sony tele zoom partner for 16-50 but at their prices might have to go for Tamron if Sony don’t at least leek info on new lens soon.
Is it me or samples on DCwatch have a verz nice bokeh?
very smooth indeed 🙂
