Shots from 70-300 f4.5-5.6 G SSM; Early test shots

Hi Pals,

Here are some shots to share of photos taken with the 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 G SSM.
Manage to get hold of one this week. All O can say is that this lens is really great for travel. Inspite of its slightly bulky size (great for hand holding and grip stability)....its heavy and light at the right places.

Its heavier on the front area and lighter at the back region and that helps balance the lens when used with the Alpha 700 with vertical grip on. Here are soem first few shots taken today at home...
This lens is sharp even at wide open......as expected form G graded lens. The SSM is fast and swift with focusing lock at times too quiet......

This lens is really a matched pair with the CZ 24-70mm F2.8 SSM. In any case, its lighter than the 70-200 f2.8 G SSM lens and its black body make it looks good too haha...

Here is another example of the ability of fast "camera-up-&-shoot" instance. With the body guards around Our Prime Minister, the swift and accurate focus really helps.

The rest of photos -here

Mainly Shot with 70-300G & 24-105mm.

Now looking for lobang for 70-200G. Maybe let go my 70-300G + 85mm CZ to get the 70-200G. Just preparing for NDP.

It'll be very hard to get at below 1K. There are shortage of stocks worldwide.
The price in Sony Singapore surprisingly is quite affordable ie. not too much different with US price.
