Review on 📷 Sony SAL70200G 70-200mm f/2.8 SSM Lens for Sony Alpha DSLR Camera (Previous Version) by Joi Thomas

This lens is worth every penny. It is sharp in all foci, even wide open. But this lens is not for a marathon. It tends to get a bit heavy after a few hours. I train and even I get a little hard after a while. Other than that, I think it's just a great all-round lens. I use it for all types of recordings I make. This is a great portrait lens that allows me to zoom in on a subject without knowing how close it is. It makes for some really memorable shots and close-ups. At f/2.8 and the right distance, the background blur is "creamy". It's great for sports too, again the f/2.8 aperture is great for field and indoor sports where flash isn't allowed. This lens is also great for nature photography. I've gotten great shots of everything on a tripod, monopod, or just on top of a tree stump. Birds, flowers, leaves and even bugs. The sharpness and smooth, even focusing of this lens make it possible. The only downside I found with this lens is the price and availability. When I tried to buy it, nobody had it in stock. Had to wait 2 weeks for it to be available. The costs are a bit extreme. This lens costs more than my two cameras combined. If you want to become a Sony photographer, buy this lens. If not, try the cheaper Tameron or Sigma. All in all I am very satisfied with this lens. Gentle you "my baby!"
