and 28mm is wider than 35mm. I have been wondering if I could adapt to a 28mm "normal", if that could be the new "normal" for me. Perhaps I could think of it as 35 with some cropping room. Perhaps ...

Tamron is drawing the mounting decision, if you someday have both 17-28 and 28-75, to a decision of whether 28 and wider is the present need, or 28 and portrait telephoto (75) is the present need. ...

Sony fan-boy that I am, this is so impressive. In the meantime Sony's roadmap for this year is nowhere to be found. Get with the program Sony. It's the glass, Sony.

SAR is now reporting the 200-600 rumor as a likelihood of 50% at some unknown time this year... Last year they were driving this rumor like it was a sure thing, this year they are cautiously sayin ...

from: vanhonen.info/fov For me the basics in primes (the bookends) are 24 and 85, of which at the moment I only have 85. I'm looking for a 24, and torn between getting on the waiting list for 24 GM ...

This just proves that competition will be good for consumers. What seems less clear is when Sony will do something less feeble than just dropping prices, more bold like making its %$#@! roadmap of ...

Having become disillusioned with 24-240, and bothered with the burden of multiple f/4 zooms, I would like to see someone (maybe Sigma or Tamron if Sony is not daring enough) make an all around ...

Also, if the near 1:3 macro capability is appealing, that is another differentiator of 70-300 I have a love/hate relationship with this versatility compromise and I have owned 24-240 before finally ...

I sincerely hope that what is poorly described as "with a simple half-press of shutter" really means when AF-ON is activated, so that what this "real time" feature really means is eye-AF is "always...

What is the difference between the breathlessly described/marketed "Real-time tracking mode" (a6400 and a9 only) and ""enhanced real-time eye-AF" (a7riii, a7iii). Are the new AI algorithms in both? ...

See the Sony 37 and on half mm f/3.1415 lens... Seriously though, everything you can get in Sony has been made before. Perhaps for more than 40 years in most cases. Perhaps it's just me, but I ...

I'm kidding of course, nearly everyone will disagree: Prime Trinity (1) Loxia 21/2.8 (2) Distagon 35/1.4 (3) Sony 85/1.8 Zoom complements: (1) Tamron 28-75/2.8

I'm surprised because I am almost positive that I have run this Poll question before. I can see that already it is tracking to what I saw in previous comparisons: almost dead heat love for the ...

I trust you are not expecting good low light performance of your kit lens, nor of the 90 macro stopped down. I trust you know that at sufficiently low enough light, all cameras and AF systems will ...

I have found a fix, and it wasn't the lens that needed fixing - it was my expectations. I no longer require "planar isometry of focus". I don't shoot brick walls. I only ever did to "test" lenses, ...

Exactly. If you have an f/1.4 lens, but stop down to f/2.8 because for this shot you want more than one subject eye in focus, then you have parity with the fast standard zooms anyway. Fast aperture ...

This is an interesting thesis, probably more interesting than midrange zooms apparently. So, if you had a bag of 2.8 primes including say 28, 35, 40, 50, and 75, and an assistant feeding them to ...

I'm cutting in to discuss your recommendations, not just from OPs perspective, but my own. I hope neither of you minds. I think WA zoom is my last priority. Having Loxia 21 I feel I have something ...

Money trumps all other considerations. Temporarily at least. If patience and waiting is added, things not possible now become possible - later. Good, one decision made. Once you make a decision, ...

Separate the questions: 16-35/4 vs 24 GM?: (1) 16-35 if you need the fisheye side of ultra-wide and versatility (2) 24 GM if you need the ...
