No that one hasn't been reviewed as well, and for Astro AF is basically useless. I went with this one as I have the MC11 adapter, and if I don't like it I can sell on easier with the Canon fit - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Samy...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Its the same lens but different fit????????
Nope, totally different lens. The one I've gone with is manual focus and has been around for a few years . The one that Clovis linked is a new autofocus version.
Ah didnt spot the AF. You are right in that case, the manual focus one is the far better astro lens
I hope its soon
The 70-200 GM was my most used / favourite lens. I had my first trip out with the 100-400 yesterday and I'm really made up with it. Shooting the sharpness cards I cant tell the difference between the two, I'll try and shoot them back to back the next time I venture out but its definitely better than the 70-200 F4 I had. I'm probably daft keeping both but I don't fancy the financial hit if I let one go
I will probably end up with new the apsc when it comes out and carry both.Which focus features? I'm sure this wasn't the case when I tested a 24-105 last week, AF-s and AF-c worked but I had options greyed out.

According to Sony
That’s only 3 options though?
Three more than they had before
I don’t know how many were missing before the firmware update though as I don’t have any canon glassThree more than they had before
Very true. I get wide, center, flexible spot s has the three options and AF-S or AF-C for mode
Caporegime
That’s before with version 1, version 2 gets all the modes.
Version 2 on what? I updated everything a few weeks back.
Caporegime
On the bodies. The firmware is quite recent, like 2 weeks old.
Soldato
So I am really loving the A7III, my next purchase is going to be a Flash (likely Godox TT685S)

soft? My 55mm is razor sharp.
Well, just traded in my 55mm f1.8 and 28mm f2 and picked up the Tamron 28-75mm (the lenses covered the cost) and took a few test shots and I like it already... sharp and light. Can't wait to try it in the studio.
I assume from the amount and expense of gear you buy that you have heard of sample variation, right? Well, I unfortunately got 2 lemons ranging from awful to poor, both field tested with lots of hikes and studio shooting, and decided to call it quits on that lens.
