The pictures of Lucille look very nice. But it's difficult to judge/compare the lens with others at the moment. We need more different shots from different people to build an opinion.
Generally, I can't help you much in this focal range.
I'm not used to tele lenses, because I like to get close to things.
And dislike zooms, because I like the restriction and character of a prime.
But I want to have tele lenses in my setup for various occasions, where I will need one.
With the 2.8 there is no need to buy any primes in that range later.
But why not go fo the 300mm with the 70-300 and add one tele-prime when it comes out? The prize would be the same...
Thanks so much Lucille for the thread and the photos! Do you know what focal lengths you were using for these shots?
Seb, I would be interested in your thoughts on these zooms when you are able to comment.
So hard to know which way to go forward, and with a possible Batis 135mm.
