If u are really worried about such details, I wld suggest not buying this lens, or wait till other people have bought it and wait for their comments. No point speculating and guessing here? If I am shooting an object 5-10 metres away, a shorter focal length zoom lens would already be sufficient. If you're into birding, I wld suggest a lens that is 400mm and above.
I suspect most users of this lens would be shooting at more distant subjects for which the focal length should be closer to 300 mm
Just wanna ask why do you keep saying that at mfd the focal length will be less then 200mm?
Both the 70-200 f4 and 70-300 have the same mfd of 1.2m and same magnification. If anythung, the worst case scenario would be 200mm focal length at mfd like the 70-200. Why would it be anything less?
