So this week while riding around taking photos with the finance I've become extremely interested in photography. I would like to start doing some wildlife photography and she said chipping in for the Sony 70-200 f2.8 or f4 (e mount) would be extremely beneficial for her side photography business and would be a perfect lens for me to use. (By the way she has a Sony A7 and a Sony A7r and doesn't want adapters so Sony lenses only). She really wants the f2.8 and I cant find one freaking anywhere but just learned the release was delayed from last June until the beginning of this month and everywhere instantly went on back order.
So my question becomes is the extra light the f2.8 allows in worth the 1,000$ more and the apparent waiting period compared to the readily available f4? What distance, with decent light, could I expect good photos out to for either lens? Is 100 yards doable?
Lastly, to maybe make the difference easily understandable for me is the difference between the 2 lenses like comparing the vortex viper HD vs the vortex razor HD or like a Swarovski slc vs Swarovski el? Same brand but one model is just superior to the other? If the comparison makes since.
Thanks guys
