That was a long winded way of saying you liked the most expensive one with the biggest range. I'm shocked...

I own the 70-300 G and the 100-400 G. The 70-300 is capable of being a walk-about lens but not so with the 100-400. Yes the 100-400 is superior but not if you resist taking it along due the heft. I thought about the 70-200 but am now rethinking that after this review. Lack of reach may reduce composition.

Why not use the 70-200mm on the A7R III in the 18mp crop mode and compare that to the 70-300mm on the A9?

[DrDuu]

A disadvantage of the 70-300 is the non-availability of the lens ring to connect it to tripod especially if you use it for movies.

Can you please help.which lens would be better for indoor swimming shooting?

[PhilipBrownEsq]

Normally you do great comparisons. so I was disapointed that you didnt offer proper comparisons of the different (title billed) lenses, in the SAME scenario. you instead did different places at different times and events.

I thought to get my get first camera with tele lens because ccloser cann covered with iPhone 15, 70-200 f4 can shoot macro which is more capability, butAPSC 70-350 has more zoom, which should i choose? How about Rx100 Vii and RX10 iV, are they worth it, I hope ew version with Exmor T going to release tho. I thought to get 20-70mm F4 and pair with 70-200 F4 but as I realoised closer can cover with iPhone 15, I also noot surre if A7Cii/A7CcR are worth it since the big lens wont get benefit from smaller camera body and the EVF experience isn't going to be as good as full size A7. I also.thought to get Hasselblad X2D with single 28mm (22mm FF eq.) because I love its image quality and color and I can crop in a lot too, I also thought to get Leica Q3 which is good overall in one package, also Leica D Lux 7 which is ggoodd enough in a small beautiful package but I hope fixed lens camera can start at ultrawide with good macro too. I focus on Sony because it has that unique ultrawide to tele 20-70mm F4 lens and I Love Sony more, but if I won't get it but a super tele, should I get other brand? Any other brands has small super tele that has macro too like Sony 70-200mm F4 and good in video with minimum rolling shutter? But I still not sure, any advices and suggestions?

I think its very difficult to compare samples in a HD video... I mean... How can we see true definition in a compresed image? Please, I like your videos... but you need to consider uploading all in 4K quality for a better experience.

I am interested in something a bit longer than my 70-200 F4 as I am now moving to full frame. I think I will miss that extra reach you get on an APS C body. Just don't want to spend a fortune. I find most of my photos were actually taken with my 18-105 F4 on my APS C bodies which is an equivalent focal length of 27-157 so I am pretty well covered for most of what I do.

[peterpaul]

Why does the barrel extends on your 70-200 f4? Is it a different variant? It's not supposed to extend. Im confused 🤔

[BenjaminAdamsVu]

100-400mm is great but with one major issue with it; PRICE, PRICE and PRICE!, did I say one? I meant 3 ;-((

[juliuscaesars]

with the 70-300 how many were in focus ? 50%? how many keepers?

[casianosd]

Love that peakdesign bag! Keep up the work Danny, Love the channel! Shout out from SD!

[OutlawFarmersRC]

Another great video Danny!!! Cannot wait to see your review on the new Tamron 28-75 2.8

[TobyHornFotografie]

Rein von der Bildqualität liegen alle recht gleich auf. Das ist schon erstaunlich ich hätte da größere Unterschiede erwartet

[projectmorf]

Do you think the 70-300 would be capable of moon shots?

[optixstudiosllc]

thumps UP! Great JOB! I think I may go with the 70-200 f4 for Now & may upgrade much later ..

[kingweddingmedia]

Another good video Danny, love your channel! Are all your sample pictures here unedited jpegs? I want that 100-400! 😍

[DavidCmvp]

I would love the 100-400 but it won't fit in my bag and it's a little too big to be carrying around. What are your thoughts on the 70-200 f2.8 with either the 1.4 or 2.0 tele-converter?
