Yes this lens will take a chunk out of your retirement savings. And for good reasons. It focuses really fast and is razor sharp.I still don't like the hoods on pany telephotos (also have the 100-400) but they addressed the annoyance I had with the tripod collar not rotating 360*, because this one...
This is a 200 mm lens f/2.8 that is very sharp and fast, even with the 1.4X teleconverter. This would be the equivalent of a 400 mm f/2.8 lens for a full frame camera (or equivalent to a 560 mm f/4 when the teleconverter is used) at a fraction of the cost of the equivalent full frame lens!
Pretty expensive lens, however the price drop to $2,500 is welcomed. Outstanding quality, build quality and photo quality are superb. This focal length works incredibly well at the zoo, alongside the included 1.4x teleconverter for the occasional times you need to reach just a bit further.
I am coming from 20years of Nikkor 300 f/2.8 up to their 800mm. No more...This 200mm f/2.8 paired with the G9 is a high performance tool, at a fraction of the cost and weight.Sharpness is stellar, as well as stabilisation, way better than the good old Nikon VR.
This is a professional-level lens for the nature photographer. In comparison to the "normal" lens, it provides 8x the magnification and for those who think in full-frame equivalents, this is the equivalent of a 400 mm f2.8 lenses made by Canon or Nikon.
