[Leica] Testing 70-200 range lenses on the A7II

[Frank Filippone]

Yes, the Minolta lens.  Still in all, for a lens that was designed in the 60's, by hand, and with the use of adding machines and slide rules, the lens perform very well.

Using a Sony A7 family and adapters, you get IBIS.  Maybe the most important capability to have..... but with the caveat that IBIS  must be told what FL lens is attached (Zoom = set it every time you use it) ... a bit of a pain in the behind.....

I do not understand which lens this is..... 70 x 3 f3.5.... ??????

Heaven help me as I ask this.... What Angenieux lens did you have that performed so well?

If this is the pump zoom I had, call it Minolta ;-)
Now I didn’t like mine, and bought the 70 X 3 f3.5 instead - a world apart for the same period.

I believe I also had the Nikon G - not up to the Angie, but had AF so I used it :-)

All gone, I want AF and Auto + stab if needed.

Thanks for the report
