YA!! :-)Ģ) No onboard image stabilization in the Sony mount - have to use Sony's internal steady shot stabilization which is clearly not quite as effective as the best optical stabilization systems (like this one) available only in the Canon and Nikon mounts.ģ) Correction profiles for vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberration for third-party lenses not built into Sony Alpha body operating system/firmware - This forces you to use DxO Optics Pro or some other similar program that has such lens parameter information, for removing these commonplace issues. In any case, this is a bit of a bear to tote around for any length of time. perhaps the design team felt that the lens had to withstand random cruise missile attacks? This would. Is this weight the price you pay for this level of construction? Not sure. Heavy much? At least it doesn't sound like a tank, with the creamy smooth USD motor. Built like a tank (but see Con #1)ġ) Weighs like a tank. Very similar in weight and performance according to DPR testing (check out their website and use their lens comparator tool).ġ) Just as sharp as the Sony G2, and very sharp if stopped down to F4 (sharpness peaks at F5.6), and probably sharpest at 70mm but decent performance at max telephoto 200mm focal length as well.Ģ) Fairly compact - lens barrel does not extend - very much like the Sony (indeed one wonders if Tamron is in fact making the Sony lens, given how closely these two lenses perform, test, and appear).ģ) Excellent value, and can be had on this website no less for just over $1000 - essentially 1/3(!) the price of the Sony G2 lens.Ĥ) Works on both full frame and subframe alpha bodies.ĥ) Solid professional construction and weather sealed. Offers a serious alternative to the very pricey Sony 70-200 2.8 GII lens (a $3000 proposition) for just about half the price list.
