Lightweight Zoom the very good fit for compact A7R

The specially developed for the A7 series SEL70200 distinguished, in terms of optical performance, by a surprisingly low weight. Combined with the lightweight, compact A7 (r / s) gives a winning combination, the (not unimportant on long trips) and "Operation" (is regarding comfort with the camera comfortable to hold and allows in most situations less despite Aperture photographing without a tripod) my other combination D800 with the 70-200 / 2.8 is clearly superior. Clear delivers the Nikon D800 with the 70-200 with individual pictures better results, but I have the SONY combination frequent there and get so in total more absolutely convincing results.

The fact why I still forgive "only" 4 stars is because the A7R even with this lens for photographing fast moving objects (sports, moving animals, fast cars, etc.), even in default of 1 / 1000s or shorter, due to the slow working autofocus is unsuitable and produces a lot of blurry results. Furthermore bothers me the white color, which makes the camera very noticeable and ugly in my opinion. Why SONY must copy the bad style of CANON is completely incomprehensible to me. What bothers me less, is the fact that the lens is not as high-quality materials used such as the ZEISS lenses, the processed plastic here makes ultimately for the right to the camera weight and is, in my view so fine, especially since the processing is consistent in sum ,

Quite different is the situation when shooting from, here the autofocus system of A7R normal SLR cameras is clearly superior and works (almost) as fast as an autofocus with a normal camcorder. The combination with the SEL 70200 then allows (esp. Also because of the low weight) excellent telephoto filming, with the appropriate setting and use also with a beautiful bokeh.
