First Sony FE 70-300mm preview by Imaging Resource

Imaging Resource posted a first preview of the new 70-300mm FE lens:

The I.S. system did its job though, and the image turned our fairly sharp, though the depth of field is quite shallow so the sharpness is limited to the rather thin plane of focus. There is a slight trace of noise, but it’s not bad at all and likely of the variety easily removed, especially if processing from the RAW file

Autofocus employs a linear actuator which is reported to offer fast and precise AF performance, and I found this to be true in my own shooting experiences. On the A7 II I rarely had to wait for much if any “hunting” except a few times when the light got low at dusk.
