My 2nd 70-400mm G2
I love this lens for wildlife photography on my A-68. I purchased one a few years ago, but fell in the creek with it, so this is a replacement. The first replacement I ordered didnt test out perfectly, but B&H quickly replaced it with no questions asked. This one is extremely sharp wide open at 400mm and focuses extremely fast. Heres six recent photos - some wide open at ISO-3200+. The fox kit was underexposed by about one f-stop so is really more like ISO-6400 - still with nice fur detail. Getting best focus results might require micro-focus adjustment. Mine required a setting of +6.

Outstanding lens
This is an outstanding lens. I could not be happier with the reach and quality. Excellent AF speed and there is very little hunting to focus even in the golden hours. Sharp to 400mm, sharp wide open, brilliant color. The lens hood is very light weight and very flimsy. For the price the lens should be weather sealed. Note: it is not possible to access the zoom ring with the lens hood in store position.

Sweet lens
After working with this lens shooting rodeo action for the past week I can say that it is extremely quick to focus on my A99ii and seems very sharp across the whole range focal length range for a such a versatile zoom lens. It is a bit heavy but not too bad. If the bokeh was slightly better it would get a 10 out of 5.

Top-notch Sony lens
Well worth the price. A bit hefty in weight, but the images that you get are sharp and crisp. I even occasionally use it for portraiture (see photo). This is definitely another great A-mount 'G II' lens from Sony.

Beware on Repairs
I had to have some work on this lens.... Sony says they no longer make parts for this lens? If you can afford to throw away money buy it.... its a great lens
