Minolta AF 80-200mm f/2.8 HS-APO G

Pros: Optically excellent, compact and lightweight compared to today's versions, AF very fast. Excellent construction

Cons: Non-removable tripod ring. Not flawless in tracking. Minimum focus distance 1.8m

Opinion: Exceptional optics, a real Minolta G (one of only three Minolta zoom lenses to boast the G brand). Very sharp at full opening, it becomes devastating already at f/4. Some AC remaining especially at 2.8 (it was designed for film). Amazing when you think that the optical project is from 1987 (black version). Compactness and lightness unattainable from the modern 70-200/2.8... HS version (Biancone) very fast in focus, although the accuracy in tracking does not reach the level of the Sony SSM. Spectacular mechanics... the zoom dial seems suspended on an air cushion. Metal construction, the only defect the white paint that tends to browse on practically all specimens. Finally... aesthetically it's the finest lens ever!

Sony 70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM II

Pros: Sharpness, even at full aperture. Relatively light and manoeudable. Minimum focusing distance 1, 5m. Excellent construction. Af very fast and accurate, especially in tracking. With Tamron 1 multiplier, the 4x MC4 maintains ultra-high sharpness and optimum Af speed. The minimum focal length of 70 mm is more versatile than the counterparts 100-400 mm. Opening window in the lens hood to rotate the polarizer

Cons: No lock on 70mm to prevent zoom creep. Sometimes hard blur (only in some conditions)

Opinion: Exceptional optics, high quality and sharpness. Af Lightning and super precise, maintains excellent quality and speed even multiplied 1.4 x. Very versatile focal Range (much more than a 100-400mm), weight and size that make it ideal for stray photographic hunting and free hand use in general
