But I do not see the connection to Jonos pictures ... am I standing on the water hose ? (do not get it) Stephan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Hi steppenw0lf, Take a look here 90-280/2.8-4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
digitalfx Posted April 1, 2016 Share #162 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) He meant that Jono started that Facebook group, not Jonos photos. I made the same mistake and spent 30 minutes looking for Jonos photos that don't exist. Edited April 1, 2016 by digitalfx 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo Posted April 1, 2016 Share #163 Posted April 1, 2016 I received my 90-280 yesterday and will start testing today. It's interesting to see that the combination is not much longer than a Canon 5DIII + 70-200/2.8. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotha Posted April 1, 2016 Share #164 Posted April 1, 2016 A wonderful lens, I love it. In most cases AF ist very fast, sometimes it misses the focus due to my practice with this lens. 280 mm at the long end ist very useful. Welcome, dear visitor!

LocalHero1953 Posted April 1, 2016 Share #165 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I'm likely to go for this, but looking forward to feedback and first impressions: - how well does it balance on a tripod? - genuinely, how many extra stops does the IS give you? - how good/quick is the AF? - in particular, how good is tracking AF with this lens? - what is bokeh like in good lighting? Evenly lit background? With specular reflections and highlights in the background? I'm taking image quality (other than bokeh) as more than good enough for all normal purposes, pace Cheshire Cat.

fotha Posted April 1, 2016 Share #166 Posted April 1, 2016 weakness: in AF-C mode the lens runs out of focus by changing the focal length. Then it needs some time to fix the focus again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffry Abt Posted April 1, 2016 Share #168 Posted April 1, 2016 fotha I would love to know how the focus tracking works when shooting sports with the 90-280. Please let us know! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotha Posted April 1, 2016 Share #169 Posted April 1, 2016 @ LocalHero eg focus is fine at 280mm. Then you change at 200mm. Your subject, still in focus at 280mm, will run out of focus for while. @ Jeffrey Abt focus tracking is not working seriously. Thats a problem of the SL, not the lens (contrast vs phase af). Sorry for my lousy english, but its better than my native german :-)) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsv Posted April 1, 2016 Share #170 Posted April 1, 2016 Got mine the day before yesterday and only had time yesterday for an hour and a half. Very well built, balances very pleasantly with the SL and autofocus is medium fast. Tracking is not really convincing. Optical quality is really, really good. Also love the color rendering and unsharpness. Handling is buttery smooth, with just sufficient resistance. Placed some pics in the SL pictures thread. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your subject, still in focus at 280mm, will run out of focus for while This means that the lens is not parfocal. Very few zooms are. With AF, this is not a big problem for normal photography, but it can be for video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted April 1, 2016 Share #172 Posted April 1, 2016 Also, does the lens have "focus breathing" (i.e. slightly changes focal length at different focusing distances) ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
