Sony 70-200mm f/2.8G Reviews
Nov 13th, 2007DonSchap
My new 70-200mm f/2.8 G SSM came with a little surprise, when I received it. The aperture did not work. It was "stuck" open at F/2.8 and the A700 could not pop it during shutter release. Pressing the "Preview" button, on the A700, did eventually fire it ... but still, not during exposure.
So, I dropped another $50 to get this $1900 "glass marvel" back to SONY via UPS, at 6.1 lbs., and it is currently (11/13/2007) sitting at the Laredo Repair Facility awaiting determination and I'm kind of out my lens in the meantime.
Happy? Look, I've had better days, okay? I was hoping this lens would be a terrific start to the holiday season ... I'm still waiting to start.
That's all I have for my short term review. Sorry.
