Sony 70-400 G

Yesterday went to Sony Flash Workshop to help KY Digital out and also bring my bro there for his training. . .

Mr Tee get the newly Sony 70-400mm G lens out of the box! So I have the chance to play with it. . . Haha!

Damn big box. . .

The SSM Motor are really soft and quite la! DAMN KEAT! Plus with the G Technology. . . The lens was built with a good glass lens!

Let start the unpacking now!

Come in a big leather case. . .

Fully pack with polystyrene and plastic bag. . .

The lens stand on its own. . . Without lens hood on

G + A

With lens hood on. . . . Looks really damn mean!

1 thing I like about this lens hood. . .is that there is a slot for u to adjust your Circular Polarizor when you want more contract or to cut more light when shooting or to shoot through a reflective medium. . . Normal lens, you would have to remove the lens hood in order to adjust the CPL. . .

Plus the front element does not rotate when focusing therefore your CPL will stay at the same place for constant effect. . .

There is 3 focus hols button hold around the lens and there is also a focusing distance control to enable you to have more control on the minimum focusing distance. . .

deep lens hood. . . I don't really like the silver coating of this lens. . . But Mr Tee said it is because Sony don't want to be the same as Canon as all their "L" Lens has white coating body. . .

Fully zoomed. . . like the 70-300 G lens. . .

Some comparison when other staff using it. . .

The lens is as long as his head! Can you imagine how big is it. . .

The lens was very unusefull to shoot portrait pic due to its changing aperture when zoom and big F number. . . .

70-200 f/2.8 still is a better choice. . . Haha!

This lens is more suitable for F1 I think . . . You really need a monopod to use it as I tried to shoot it but still its too heavy to maneuver to shoot portrait during the portrait session with the models. . .

Something bad happened during the end of the workshop. . . Damn kek sim! Aiks!

All picture taken using C905 as my DSLR was at my bro palce. . . My hand still shaking after using the lens. . . so the pic with out flash seems very blur and there is not enough light for normal shooting then the xenon flash really kill some of the colour as I flash too near. . .
