Anyone have the FE 70-200/F4 yet?

Me too. I still haven't managed to get ANY FE series lens that was right first time, and I have them all...

Hi Tim
Just checked out your 'low-grade decentering' and have to say that I would more than agree with you in fact I would call it 'pretty bad' and a lot worse than what I saw on my first copy of the 24-70.
Bt the way is there anyone in particular you deal with at Park cameras. I have been in to the London store a couple of times but wasn't totally convinced by the staff's knowledge. If I did by the lens from them it would be a great help to know I wouldn't have a problem if I needed to change it

Yep, I bit the bullet and bought one, fully expecting to be disappointed. Thankfully - and for the first time ever- I got a good copy first time around. Its truly excellent! A very, very good lens that can easily be compared to the pro-line Canikons.

Sony's latest firmware update claims support for fast hybrid AF with this lens.

I've done the update, but after very limited testing, do not notice any significant change. Anyone else?

SEL 70-200 changes (hybrid AF...) already came with the FW ver. 1.02. The release note for 1.10 only states that 1.10 also includes the functionality that was in 1.02.
