EDIT: although, on the "Bella" cat photo the AF missed the eyes entirely - it went for the nose/whiskers. Could that front focusing have been a settings error? I would not expect such a mistake on a flagship body widely praised for its AF capabilities.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II Lens Review
John Riley has been putting the new Sony FE 70-200mm f/4G OSS II lens to the test, sharing his opinion and capturing sample photos. |

There are also some other "cons" for a lens that costs £1750. It does not internally zoom (like the 200-600G) and it doesn't have an aperture ring as many modern G lenses do.
I also think the tripod foot is not arca-swiss compatible and can't be changed for one that is (unlike that on the 209-600G which can be changed).
Minor issues maybe but it does cost £1750 so I think valid.

I own and really like the lens - optically, it's perhaps not quite as solid a performer as the Z 40mm f/2, but it's a much better fit for everyday photography on DX, and the f/1.7 maximum aperture is a real asset.

ZEISS Otus Apo-Sonnar 100mm f/1.4 T* Lens Review
John Riley reviews the ZEISS Otus Apo-Sonnar 100mm f/1.4 T* lens to see if the telephoto prime will capture images which are on-par with its own impressive appearance (and price tag). |

You know the Zeiss lens coatings are going to have superior light transmission also for more microcontrast and detail.
I bet comparing image quality from this lens vs the Nikon and the Sigma this will be superior. I have looked at the Nikon VS the Sigma and with no bias because I didn’t know what images were created with which lens . I picked the Nikon images almost every time over the Sigma . I’m a Sigma Art lenses owner of several also . I just got the Sigma 135 for my Z9 and it’s awesome image quality. I have 2,28mm Art f/1.4’s a Nikon f and Sony e . 1,40mm Art f/1.4 and had the 50mm Art f/1.4 . The Nikon 105 had superior bokeh to me over the Sigma 105 and the microcontrast seemed better. Or a less flatted image I guess. The people seemed to have rounder details because of more shades than the Sigma. I see this with the 40mm Art also. The 135 Art is different from other Art lenses and so seems the 28 Art .

Quote:Relatively high price
Relatively large lenses
RAW not available in some modes
4-way controller could be better implemented
Shorter battery life (due to reduced size battery)
Lacks panoramic mode
Wi-Fi would have been nice
1) Not a problem - just bought second hand.
2) Not a problem - using existing lenses.
3) Not wanted.
4) Not wanted - the less buttons on the back the better.
5) Not a problem - for me.
6) not wanted.
7) Not wanted.
