I also have Sony A7RIII. It is fine camera, but the user interface is not as good as with Nikon IMO.

@MILC man
We're not talking about the current adapter situation only, but physical limitations of different systems. In the future there will most like be more options.

Currently one can use FE...

That is very much true. 3rd party support via adapted lenses is the best in class for Nikon Z system, becauses it has the shortest flange distance.

Canon RF is the worst, because it has the...

The numbers presented in the WHO report gives death rate of 3.42% - where does the 2% figure come from?

Colors make it more natural and lively. But the colorization job doesn't look very well done, hues look way off and weird.

But the Olympus has two stops faster shutter speed, all other things being equal?

The Sony E-mount version of this lens focuses to 0.25m

The RF 70-200 is short only in storage/wide end setting.

The extended length with lens hood (which is big) seems to be longer than Nikon Z 70-200 2.8. Combine that with the body size and longer...

@Jack Jian

The EF 70-200/2.8L III was/is not THE top performer. According to the MTF tests done by lensrentals.com (which I happen to trust), the Nikon 70-200/2.8E FL was superior to other lenses...

There is two separate L-fn buttons which you program to do AF-lock or other functions.

Hate to answer myself, but the above seems to be the case, atleast in the middle distances.

From the reviews at the-digital-picture.com, here is some measured distances for framing a 1200x800mm...

The RF versions seems rather huge for a 70mm f2.8 lens ;)

It is also obvious that the RF must have huge amount of focus breathing at 200mm setting when pulling to minimum focus distance. MFD is...

There rear elements area somewhat recessed also on the AF-S FL version for F-mount, even more so with 70-200 f/4G.

The optical construction of Z vs FL looks somewhat similar for the front group (Z...

For lenses with only moderate focus shift, I think it is best to focus at the long end first.

Most likely parfocal feature is achieved by refocusing electronically.

@cosmicnode

True, and what happens when you constantly zoom in/out while shooting sports in rainy weather? Water will get under the outer barrel. There's already reports that RF 70-200 is hard...

They didn't have autofocus or IS back in the 70's, and maximum aperture was only f4.

Also, the way I see it, the wide end is not the reason to buy a 70-200mm zoom.

In that case 85mm/1.8 or 105mm/1.4 lens would make much more sense to me because they're both smaller and has much...

RF 70-200 looks cool until you extend it to 200mm, where it looks just silly IMO. Focus breathing must also be really high, when focusing from infinity to mfd @ 200mm. Otherwise magnification...

So have to wait for real tests on focus breathing issue and focal length at min focus.

When we look at Canon RF 70-200 2.8, that lens seems to have wildly shorter focal length at minimum focus...

Nikon S has 1m close focus distance at 200mm setting, and 0.5m at 70mm setting. If there is no focus breathing as promised, the actual focal length shouldn't change much at closest distance vs...
