BUt the 58mm would be at f/1.4.....big diffference....

Wow, no one cares!!!!!

Are you sure it won't be two cameras, II as in roman numeral II...?

This is precisely why the latest version of the OS degrades performance on the galaxy s7/edge. It is an abominable piece of malware to force the users to upgrade their phones. Check out the review...

Then of course there's the emerging rumor that a latest software upgrade for the galaxy s7/edge slows down the phone (you can see it on review sites, read actual USER comments and come to a simple...

Depends, do you like manual focus?

f1.4 versus f1.8. So at f/1.8 the Sigma will be even sharper.

WEll, at this time - sigma is actually SMALLER than Zony with smaller filte size and just 30g more.

The sigma compares better for size, Filter Diameter to Zony and only weight 30g more....
But as you say - a high quality f/1.8 lens is definitely required for the A7/9 line of cams.

Mmmmhhhh, I also thought so then went to compare lengths.
Zony given as 112mm Sigma as 94mm. Go figure. Sigma filter 67mm, Zony 77mm. Zony weighs 630g Sigma 660g.

NAH!!!!

It should have better contrast because of the coatings.....

Good commonsense as long as you will not be buying a canon mirrorless camera soon.

The 85-300mm will be crazy big. When last did you look at the 300mm f/2.8 lens in real life?

Did you mean version IV? since there is no real reason to buy this version over the II.

It's time for lenses to take a step forward. They've been languishing with solid glass elements that need to be grouped and coupled to overcome the air-gap and AF problem. It's time for these big...

conitnued...
On the other hand the major problem today with current DSLR and Mirrorless systems is the BIGGG blob of glass in front of it - the lens. It's time for the lens to become much smaller...

Certainly the phone has taken over the role of the unwieldy compact camera that was just a nuisance to carry around. However, as in all markets the point of saturation for mobile cameras is rapidly...

@George1958 - That's your preference - to value IQ above all else. Other people value IQ in addition to ease of use, i.e. ability to nail focus on the eyes even with large aperture lenses shot wide...

Right, so you pick the fast Sony primes or zooms and then you also have eye-af to help nail focus just about every time. Far fewer throwaways. That's why they picked that cam as the best for the...
