Sony 70-400mm f/4-5.6G SSM
Available June 8, 2012
The newest G telephoto lens, the 70-400mm contains 18 elements in 12 groups (including 2 ED elements) and a fast supersonic wave motor for rapid autofocus. It also has curved aperture blades to keep the out-of-focus highlights smooth, two focus range limiting switches to speed up autofocus, and three focus preset buttons. This is the lens we’ve all been waiting for!
Roger's Take

Using it is a pleasure—It is sharper and focuses much faster than the Sigma 50-500mm I was comparing it to and is light enough that hand-holding it for the whole day didn’t leave me tired. It is a great all purpose telephoto lens that I recommend highly—better than the equivalent Canon and Nikon telephoto zooms.
