Sony 70-300mm G SSM £499 at Jessops.

Post by Jimbib »

Saw a price drop on this lens today over at http://camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod1072.html. The price hasn't been this low for a while, however, there is a new, greatly improved Tamron 70-300mm on the way too...

I'm tempted! will wait for the Tamron, however.

The wife purchased this lens for me about a year ago at that same price, must admit it is a cracking lens and very sharp but I will be interested to see if Tamron can beat the quality of the Sony.

Cheers

And there is also a new Sigma 70-300 with OS which gets good reviews.
