Review on πŸ“· Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS: High-Quality Interchangeable Lens for Sony Alpha Cameras by Jeff Payne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Practical solution for mobile use and use with a lanyard. Excellent quality for what it is

It was very difficult to decide between Sony 70-200 GM F2.8 and Sony 70-200 F4. When I got my hands on these two lenses (which is impossible when all you have is a spec sheet or a video review) I realized that I had NO WAY to hang a GM lens around my neck. It's just too hard. I could not use a GM lens on a tripod as tripods are not allowed for travel and school events. The 70-200F4 is so much lighter and less painful to hang around your neck or in your hand that it was the obvious choice. Please note that I am not comparing image quality but how it can be used. If a lens is so heavy that I'm afraid to use it, it never gets used.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Good but not great
