I'm looking for a longer reach to complement my existing E 16-70mm ZA. None of the E-mount APS-C longer zooms appeal - too much of an overlap with my 16-70 and they are limited regarding max aperture. Initially I considered the FE 70-300 f4.5/5.6 G but am not inspired by some of the tests I've read, nor the huge increase in length when zooming. For little more money, the 70-200 offers a constant f4 and no change in length. Have to balance that against maximum focal length of 450mm -v- 300mm. On the other hand, the 70-200 avoids the potential of being a 'dust-pump' (I used to have the Canon 100-400 L years ago). I am neither a dedicated wild-life nor sports photographer, so 300mm should suffice for the kind of situations I envisage using the lens in.
So, I have nearly convinced myself that the 70-200 is the way to go, but... A fairly expensive FE lens on APS-C - a waste of capability? What say you?
