Quote:Yeah, Ok, I downrated it to 3.5pts. I was struggling a bit with the rating admittedly. However, you have to keep in mind that this test was done on a 36mp sensor ... compared to the Canon ones on 21mp ...You are not right about the tripod mount (according to Sony <sup>*</sup><sup>1</sup>), apparently the lens weighs 840 grams without tripod mount. A tripod mount ring for the Canon weighs 159 grams, so assuming the Sony tripod mount weighs about the same, that would bring the combined weight to 1 kilo (and that makes an A7 + 70-200mm f4 about the same weight as my 6D + 70-200mm f4
As for the weight - that's unfair. The tripod mount should be responsible for the difference. Filter size ... who cares really ?

).I mentioned the filter size to illustrate the bigger dimensions of this Sony mirrorless lens compared to the DSLR lenses from Canon and Nikon. It sits right in the middle of the f4 versions of Nikon and Canon (67mm) and the f2.8 versions (77mm)
