PeteM01 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'd quite like the SSM G version of the lens (I'm on Sony gear not Canon), last time I looked it was around 1500 I think Tried the prefocusing technique, got a few successes with that. Ah, I thought you were a Canon shooter. Gulp, that Sony 70-200 is a pricey little thing....I imagine that Sony suffers a little like Olympus in not having that many other manufacturers make lenses in that mount? Can you switch between different IS modes to allow panning on the Sony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrinderBloke Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Does Sony use the same lens mount as Konica Minolta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 IS is either on or off in this model. But have it in every lens Yes, minolta mount. The 3rd party lens makers do make compatible lenses yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 ... Gulp, that Sony 70-200 is a pricey little thing... certainly is, what is the closest Canon has in it's L range? And what does it cost? (the Sony G designation is for their premium lenses like the Canon L) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrinderBloke Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Canon offers three 70-200 L lenses: Canon EF 70-200mm f4 non IS £418.00 Canon EF 70-200mm f4 IS £699.00 Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 IS £1199.99 and the now discontinued: Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 non IS The prices above are the best I can find from UK suppliers, buying from overseas may be cheaper, although carriage, duty, VAT and warranty implications have to be taken into account. If I was shopping for a lens in a similar range now I would look at the Sigma 120 -300 f2.8, seen some lovely images from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 will be a while before i can afford a new lens. That will prob be a prime macro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrinderBloke Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'm lucky I've been using Canon since 2000 and I have built up a decent collection of lenses, although the 100mm Canon macro will probably be my next lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
