Hi List!
A friend of mine bought this lens and wrote a nice 'review' with some
pictures.
The whole review is in hungarian so here's a summary for you:
- The lens is cheaper, lighter and smaller than the other 70-200 f2.8 ones
- Sharp, sharp and sharp :) He says at f2.8 is sharp, f4 very sharp and
f5.6 is dangerously sharp :D
- Uses full Leica frame, but no Aperture ring -> on film machines needs
MZ like
- Bokeh is nice, it has a circle like aperture. But not as nice as 105mm
Sigma.
- CA is well controlled
- Macro is 1:3
- AF is slow and noisy. Uses body screwdriver :) Quite similar to the
70-300's in speed and noise.
- Hunts in low light, so for theatre shots you want to use MF :D
- No AF limiter, so it goes from minimum to inifinity all the time when
it can't find the correct spot
- AF - MF switch is 'shotgun like' and it's easy to turn a little
between changing the two modes.
