Ah yes, a great (the greatest?) example of what Roger Cicala calls the SPP “Sony Price Premium”. Let’s charge our customers twice as much as for a comparable rival lens (namely the Nikon 70-300 FX AF-P) because they have no options.
Remarkably I can’t find any comparisons between the two lenses. DxOMark barely has the AF-P listed.
However, I find the performance from this review utterly underwhelming for a $1200 zoom, unless of course mushy corners are somehow acceptable.
Tamron 70-300mm SP VC, Canon 70-300mm USM II, Nikon FX 70-300mm AF-P… All are much more inexpensive and as good. Maybe Tamron is a little behind for AF and material quality bit also can be found almost for 1/3 of Sony’s price. Ah also Sony has a function button :)
Sony is extremely expensive for what it is.
I love my Sony 24–240 mm lens. If a G version came out for that, I’d snap it up in a heartbeat.
