Patrick Murphy-Racey tests the new 70-200mm GM lens and says autofocusing performance is “awesome”

Sony Artisan Patrick Murphy-Racey tested the autofocus performance of the new 70-200mm GM lens and says it’s “awesome”:

“All hesitation and temptation to hunt in terms of AF has all but gone. The combination of twice as much light coming through the optic to the chip makes it 50% more accurate and helps hold focus even in shadow areas and severely backlit situations. This lens is the real deal.”

The 70-200mm GM lens is shipping now in USA and on August 4 in Europe. Check out at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Focuscamera. Calumet.de. Amazon Germany. Cyberport.de. PhotoPorst. Jessops. WexUK.
The lens is also the Besteller among all lenses for mirrorless systems at BHphoto (Click here to see the ranking).

One more new test: Mark Galer posted some Full Size image samples shot on the new 50mm Zeiss Planar lens on Flickr.
