Re: Sony 70-200mm and 70-400mm comparison

The Sony 1.4x only works in manual Focus correct. I may get one for my 70-400 G.
I didn't know if it would work well.

Re: Sony 70-200mm and 70-400mm comparison

I have the 70-400 GSM with an A-700 and A-900. The new G2 70-400 is $2198. The old G is now 1798. the Nano coating is nice but is it worth the difference. The a99 should work even better.

The soccer shot was taken at about 30 yards. The auto focus goes wild at indoor swim meets, because of the
humidity. The shot below was taken outdoors at a 25 yard pool. The 70-400 is a great all round lens. I got mine at $1600.00 US, now its $2000.00.
