Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
I decided that if I was ever in funds again I would get the FE 4/70-200.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks but the weather today was the best so far. And I was given unique access to a rooftop over London's Bloomsbury area to test it out.
Spire, St George's Church, Bloomsbury.

This is a bit of a Mary Poppins moment - if you get the cinematic reference
I then moved on to Waterloo Bridge to get some Thames/Skyline shots

Performance, imho, is variable. It can be soft and hard to get sharp focus. I switched in the end to shooting at f11, instead of f8 and shots sharpened up a lot. I also kept the speed above 1/250 where possible. Not entirely sure what benefit OSS actually has as below this speed I see a lot of softness which I believe is shake. However, like my other Sony lenses it can turn in excellent results, if not consistently and the build quality makes me wonder why Sony even have a relationship with Zeiss, it is that good.
