    I am a prime lense person. This is the first fast 2.8 Zoom lense I have had. Should be great with my smaller A7 R3 body. I have 300 2.8, for my older A99 camera but trying out the new cameras.

    Extraordinary detail and color. Very noticeable and large upgrade from non-Gmaster lenses on an A7R4, especially for printing large format or cropping tightly. The rich color and uniform geometry really shine here.

    Outstanding lens! I had previously been using the Tamron 70-180 and picked this up because I felt the Tamron was just a bit off of what I was wanting. This lens is wonderfully sharp and fast to focus. It’s great out of the box.
