FE70-200mm

The new 70-200mm GM lens is now listed at Amazon US too (Click here). But still there is no price info nor any info about shipment date. Back in March Sony said the lens would ship in May. But I guess the unexpected high 24-70mm GM lens preorders could have delayed the shipment of the 70-200mm lens.

● There was a phenomenon that the focus is get lost in the bright lens during use than F2.0, but improved in the part of the lens.
● was to eliminate the phenomenon that bleeds through a circular pattern to shoot with the setting of “peripheral illumination correction” to “Auto”.
● Motor sound at the time of AF drive, became quiet than the initial version (Ver1.0).
● Focus in the AF, was further added the modes in which you can fine-tune at the MF.
(You can shoot with a feeling such as DMF)
【Setting method】
1. Set the aperture value of the camera side to F45.
2. Press the shutter release button.
● often to black out it is low in use.

Still, there is a delay in the adpater shipment and we don’t knwo when they will resume sales. The preorder option at Adorama is gone too :(
