Need a Telephoto Lens? These Are Great Ones!
I mean, this is one of the reasons why you get an interchangeable lens camera anyway, right?
Why did you buy a camera? If you’re new to photography, it’s probably because you wanted better pictures than what your phone gives you. Lots of folks do it because they want a telephoto lens that lets them zoom in on a scene. This is far better than using the digital zoom or other lenses on your smartphone. And so if you’re buying your first lens, we’ve got a few fantastic options to recommend.…

Transitioning Gear: From Canon to Sony - A Journey of Adaptation and Savings
Preparing for an upcoming event in Leicester City, I decided to introduce a new addition to my camera gear. Before diving into the shoot, I wanted to familiarize myself with this latest equipment to ensure it seamlessly integrated into my setup.
My journey with photography spans across several iconic camera brands, starting from Minolta, Yashica, Practica, Olympus, and Pentax cameras from 1984 to 1991, transitioning to Nikon cameras from 1991 to 1998. However, the landscape shifted in 1998 when Canon stepped into the scene, bidding adieu to the familiar camera room. Canon swiftly became my preferred brand, solidifying that connection in 1999 with the Canon 400mm f2.8 L IS lens.
This lens became a staple, accompanying me to photograph international cricket matches for the Sri Lankan cricket team during my tenure at Reuters News Service. Its recommendation stemmed from multiple factors—excellent image quality, minimal optical distortion, a rapid aperture, image stabilization, and an agile autofocus system. While this lens thrived in sports reporting, my repertoire expanded to include everyday news, even extending to covering conflicts, utilizing three lenses: the Canon 16-35mm f2.8, 35-70mm f2.8, and 70-200mm f2.8. With a surplus of cameras matched to these lenses, I seamlessly interchanged cameras during shoots, minimizing lens changes.
However, as time progressed, my photographic needs underwent a metamorphosis. Weight reduction in equipment and a streamlined lens collection became paramount. Deliberating on this, Sony cameras emerged as a plausible option due to their lightweight build. Additionally, capturing bustling scenes without frequent lens changes became an appealing prospect.
Yet, I wasn’t prepared to compromise on lens quality or sacrifice the minimum aperture of f2.8. While lenses like Tamron 18-400mm f3.5-6.3, Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 L IS, and Sigma 28-300mm f/5.6-6.3 offered a range, the varying aperture and potential compromise in image quality didn’t align with my standards.
Contemplating a transition to Sony while retaining my Canon equipment, I stumbled upon the 35-150mm 2-2.8 lens—an intriguing find. Among the options like Samyang AF 35-150 f/2-2.8 FE and Tamron 35-150 mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD, I found subtle performance differences despite a significant price gap and that feverable to Samyang. Opting for the Samyang, priced attractively on Amazon at £854.00 while Tamoron price £1486.00, seemed like the right choice after thorough research.
Thus, with the Samyang 35-150 f2-2.8, a Sony A7 Mark II, and a Godox Xpro at an Amazon special price, I made the purchase using allocated funds for new camera equipment.
Adapting from my Canon gear to Sony, I sought solutions for flash equipment. I found that using the Godox XPro to employ flash strobe lights for Sony, alongside the Godox SX 400 Studio Flash for Canon and Godox V1Hot Shoe, proved more cost-effective than purchasing new flash equipment. The entire conversion from Canon to Sony, inclusive of accessories, totaled £1585.00. This transition meant relinquishing the focal range of 35-16mm and 150-200mm, which I deemed acceptable given the substantial savings.
Considering the Amazon prices, the total expense for the Canon lenses (16-35mm f/2.8 = £1599.00, 24-70mm f/2.8 = £1947.00, and 70-200mm f/2.8 = £1624.00) would have amounted to £5170.00. Thus, by completing a full Canon to Sony conversion, I managed to meet my requirements while saving £3585.00.
With my setup primed, I am now geared up to capture the event in Leicester City next weekend, all with the convenience of a single lens.

"Six Weeks Earlier" Filmed with the Z Cam E2-F6 & E2 M4 from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.
I was hired by Z Cam to shoot some slow-motion footage to promote their new firmware which has given their cameras Prores 422 internal recording across the board for the different resolutions and frame rates. Prior to this, you were limited to H265 for high frame rates,
This edit is filmed in locations that will be familiar to people who follow my work. It's Richmond, near where I live. I've filmed there so many times but there's always something new to see. Initially, on the 9th of February, I used the E2-F6 to film the snow, something that always looks good in slow motion, then I moved onto the main shopping street.
6 weeks later I went back to do some match shots and more, to make the most of the first really warm day of the year, 2 days after the clocks went forward so longer daylight evenings. It was also the first day of the slight relaxation in lockdown, letting up to 6 people meet up outside albeit with social distancing....not that this has been followed either then, before or now!
For the F6 I used the Viltrox E-mount adaptor and the Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM, the 2x extender, Sony 135mm F1.8 GM, 24mm F1.4 GM, and 35mm F1.8. I shot in both the low and high base ISOs only. Shooting in Z log.
The the M4, I used the Metabones speed booster 0.71x, Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L F.2.8 II, 100-400mm L F4.5-5.6 II, 24-70mm L F2.8 II and the 16-35mm L F4.
Grading was with Cinematch simply converted it to REC 709, Filmconvert Nitrate and the occasional LUT as well as additional colour correction.
You can get a 20% discount on Cinematch at gopb.co/cinematch and 10% off Filmconvert at gopb.co/filmconvert
I've used the original E2 for years and it's a good value camera with some nice high frame rates. The F6 though is a REALLY nice camera with a very clean image and fantastic scan modes including the full sensor "open gate". I really recommend this camera.
Gear: E2- F6: gopb.co/f6 E2-M4: gopb.co/m4 Viltrox E mount adaptor: gopb.co/viltrox Metabones .71x speedbooster (cine ones do not fit on M4) gopb.co/metabones71x

joerdeli: When you are able to play for the club you love.💓 This moment shows when you don't play football for a club and realize your dreams. It shows you play football for YOUR club and realize your dreams.The place where you belong. The place you love. The people you love. Remembering Dennis Bergkamp's famous quote: "When you start supporting a football club, you don't support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong." @leahwilliamsonn belongs here. We feel it. As every day we see her work, train and play with the team, we see the passion and love. To being able to capture moments like this, is an honor for me. Thank you Leah. I hope for many more to come. #WeAreTheArsenal . 📸 All rights reserved and copyright protected photo, Daniela Porcelli @joerdeli Photography 2019 / No usage without permission // shot for @sportspressphoto .

The best lens ever
Buying a  Lens
When it comes to buying a telephoto lens it’s important to ask yourself what subjects you are wanting to shoot, how far away these subjects are likely to be, and what type of light you will most often be shooting in. You’ll then be able to narrow down your lens choices based on the following characteristics:
Focal Length
The lens focal length will determine how close your subject will appear through your cameras viewfinder. The larger the focal length the closer you will be able to get to your subject.
If I’m shooting a motocross event and I’m able to get very close to the track then often I won’t need a focal length longer than 200mm on a full-frame camera. But if I’m shooting birds in flight then these will be much further away and the subject will also be much smaller, so then I usually prefer a focal length in the 400-600mm range on a full-frame camera.
Aperture
The aperture of the lens together with shutter speed and ISO will determine your exposure. A lens with an aperture of f/2.8 will let in twice the amount of light compared with an f/4 lens, this not only allows you to keep your ISO lower but also improves the autofocus speed.
Many zoom lenses will have a variable aperture that changes depending on your focal length. For example, the Sony FE 100-400mm GM lens has a maximum aperture of f/4.5 when you are at 100mm, but at 400mm the maximum aperture changes to f/5.6. However, some lenses that have a constant aperture that doesn’t change as you zoom, like the Sony FE 70-200 F2.8 GM lens which has a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and 70mm and also at 200mm.
For indoor photography where light levels are low apertures of f/2.8 or faster are often preferred. Fast apertures are also preferred for outdoor photography when using fast shutter speeds or if you want to create the smoothest separation between your subject and the background.
Autofocus Speed
If you are planning to shoot very fast subjects such as superbikes or birds in flight then it’s important that the autofocus motors in the lens are able to keep up with your subject, if they can’t then you’ll struggle to get any shots in focus.
Prime or Zoom
Prime lenses are almost always sharper than zoom lenses but there are a couple of downsides to using them.
First of all because prime lenses have a fixed focal length you can only move closer or get further away from your subject by using your feet (which may not always be practical), whereas a zoom lens needs just a quick twist of the zoom ring.
Prime lenses are a lot more expensive than zoom lenses. For example, the Sony FE 200-600 f5.6-6.3 G lens normally costs around $1,998.00, whereas the Sony 600mm F4 GM lens costs a whopping $12,998.00.
Top 10 Sony E-mount Telephoto Lenses
Here are the 10 most popular telephoto lenses for Sony E-mount:
Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G     OSS
Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM     OSS
Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS
Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS
Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS
Sony FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS
Sony FE 600mm F4 GM OSS
Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS
Sony E 18–200mm F3.5–6.3 OSS LE
Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS
Keep scrolling to find out more about each of these lenses.
APS-C Telephoto Lenses
Sony E-mount APS-C telephoto lenses are designed for cameras like the Sony a5100, a6000, a6100, a6300, a6400, a6500 and a6600 but will also work on full-frame E-mount cameras like the Sony a7 Series or a9 when shooting in APS-C (Super-35) Mode.
Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS (SEL70350G)
 The Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS is the longest APS-C zoom lens currently available for the Sony E-mount.
I bought this lens on the first day that it was available and it has quickly become one of my favorite APS-C lenses for travelling, shooting sports and shooting my dog Frank. I also often use this lens on my a7R IV in crop mode as it’s so small and light.
The lens has a focal length of 70mm to 350mm and a variable aperture of f/4.5 – 6.3. From 70mm to 82mm its f/4.5, 83mm to 113mm its f/5, 114mm to 199mm its f/5.6, and 200mm to 350mm is f/6.3.
The lens is well built and weighs only 625 g (22.1 oz.). It features an AF/MF switch and OSS (Optical Steadyshot) On/Off switch. There’s also a customizable function button and a zoom lock switch. Unfortunately Sony missed off a focus limiter switch that can be useful at times, and there’s also no panning mode 1/2 switch.
The lens is pretty sharp when shooting at 350mm and f/6.3 but by stepping down to f/7.1 you’ll see an improvement in sharpness.
To learn more about this telephoto lens I’d recommend watching this very nice review from Christopher Frost:
