[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 702331, member: 34269"] I have always felt good about the reviews on Photography Life. It seemed to me that they were more even handed. There are only a few like that on web. Steve Perry is another from Back Country Gallery. I agree with your comments Nero, that the results should be reassuring, especially in light of the bad press. As far as fair or not... This is a new lens. It is a new design. Comparing it to the existing Nikon version is just what everyone does when a new lens is introduced. When the latest 70-200 was introduced it was compared to the VR II. That is what is done. Like Nero said. The cool thing is if you go mirrorless you can see that the new lens will offer comparable performance to the current F Mount while if you already have the F mount and do not want to sell all your F lenses you can use the FTZ adapter. For me. I am getting excited about this new tech because it has upped my game in the hand held department and has encouraged me to try things that I had tried and failed at before. The IBIS helps with my tremors immeasurably. The focus and WYSIWYG EVF helps too overcome some of the health issues I deal with. It is just fun to use... I am going to pass on the 24-70 f 2.8 because I am happy with the f4... but I will be looking at the 70-200 as long as I do not have to sell any body parts... [/QUOTE]
