Originally posted by bdery For the moment bokeh is the biggest letdown for me, not that it's bad but if I'm considering upgrading my 60-250 to that new lens, I expect comparable results and I'm not convinced I'll get there.

Please be specific about 60-250 / 4 vs 70-210 / 4 such as:
-60-250 / 4 is a * series but 70-210 / 4 is not and this is noticed on the bokeh and body construction?
-60-250 / 4 has slower focus?
-60-250 / 4 does not have a decisive and safe focus like 70-210 / 4?
- sharpness in the center at 70/4 + 130/4 + 200/4 at 60-250 / 4 is?
- sharpness in the center at 70/4 + 130/4 + 200/4 at 70-210 / 4 is?
- sharpness at the edges at 70/4 + 130/4 + 200/4 at 60-250 / 4 is?
- sharpness at the edges at 70/4 + 130/4 + 200/4 at 70-210 / 4 is?
It would be fantastic if you could put photo examples for that matter!
-CA on contrast frames is expressed at 70-210 / 4 more than at 60-250 / 4?
- 70-210 / 4 is easier to carry on a K1 than 60-250 / 4?
- overall optical 70-210 / 4 do not notice that it not * series like 60-250 / 4?
-60-250 / 4 takes precedence over longer range and nicer bokeh and body construction (excluding internal focusing and change of millimeter without stretching)?
how much do i expect 70-210 / 4 is better than 60-250 / 4 so much i expect 70-200 / 2.8 is better than 70-210 / 4 (but that's just my expectations)
I'm aware that this is not a * series like 70-200 / 2.8 but I expect it to be better than 60-250 / 4 because he neither was it intended for FF
(being good at FF, is just its big + as an APSC lens for those willing to compromise on FF usage-who is not for compromise buys DFA 70-200 (210) / 2.8 (4))
I hope you understand what interests me as end user in the new DFA lens and as advanced amateur / enthusiast user
please have courage and be determined
