Nice shots I noticed you used the Sony 70-200 F/28 I'm toying with the idea of purchasing this lens I have the Sony 200-600 but I feel the latter is just to big to walk around town with. Would you recommend this lens .... Thank you Gary

Hey Gary, I love the 70-200 GM II, it’s my go to lens, there is simply nothing this lens can’t do. I also have the 2.0x TC and it works very well with the lens. I’ve had no problems with this combo. I can’t praise the lens enough. And it’s really light. I carry it, my 24-70 GMII and A7iv everywhere I go, no problems.

Super pics. London has come a long way since the then-new Lloyds building shocked everybody!

(I think my favourite new building was [I think it was called] the gerkin.)

Thanks Thad. The Gerkin is still an interesting building. Quite impressive when viewed from street level. Now I have the 24-70 GM II, I will try and get a shot of it.

I find my 70-200mkII works excellent with my 2x as long as I stop down to f7.1. At f5.6 it's a bit hit and miss.

Yes, autofocus is a bit slow with the 2.0xTC and at f5.6 can be a little difficult.
