A7s + the 18-200 "kit" lens

One thing I love about the a7s is the shallow DOF / Cinema look for video.  However, I threw the 18-200 original silver lens on it yesterday and shot my daughter's indoor gymnastics.  Full continuous AF, with a range equivalent to 27-300mm.

It worked out fantastically!  My 5 year old girl ran from one side of the gym up to our seats and it held focus very well (of course I was hard set at F/8, but still).  How cool is it that this camera bascially doubles as a run and gun / camcorder when you need it?

The OIS from that lens was simply...brilliant.  Highly recommended for any handheld video.

Face tracking works a treat, and so does object tracking.  Never even tried these before as it's my only Sony lens.

The SEL18200 is indeed excellent, shot most of our SciFi short with it (FS700 kit lens). The SELP18200 (black, with power zoom) also works well (slow power zoom can be useful).

As an event lens on auto-everything (100% A7S with SEL18200):
