So it’s been a couple of weeks since my first post on the Sony FE 100-400 4.5 – 5.6 GM OSS.
Here is what I think so far, this lens is absolutely pure magic! I’ve been using it as-is and in combination with Sonys 1.4x extender and even with the extender
this lens outperforms the resolution of my A7RII and it’s 42mpx sensor. I can’t even see any image perforce differences using the extender or not.
So for me this lens is a big thumbs up and a given 5+ rating. There is however som quirks about it, some are given and some doesn’t matter, if you want quality images this is the lens to get – end of discussion.
So the pros and cons:
Pros:
- Image quality (outstanding)
- Can be used with 1.4x extender without quality loss
- Reach (I love the 400 och 560mm reach)
Cons:
- It’s quite heavy (doh it’s a 100-400mm quality zoom)
- The lens hood has a release button which I keep forgetting to press
- AF can be slow in low light with the extender (Probably not with the A9 or the A7RIII)
Check out this new shots below with this awesome lens!
