I'd like to see something like that myself. Not sure if an f/.2.8 would be very compact. (Look at the Tamron 28-75). When I first got an A7, I bought an Olympus OM 28-48 f/4.0 zoom. Covered 3 ...

They also made a great rice cooker. Mine is over 30 years old!

I had the Mk. I a few years ago, and have the Mk. II now. Just as described, the Mk. II is labeled Power OIS. Also, the model number is different. The Mk. II is H-FSA100300.

That's interesting. I checked some more with my lens. iPhoto says Sony E 21mm f2.8. But when I open it in Photoshop, it does say Zeiss Loxia 2.8/21. So, I guess there is no problem with the ...

My Loxia reads the same, "Sony E 21mm f2.8". Bought mine new off of ebay. I think I had asked the same thing in a previous thread but didn't get a reply. I'd be curious to know if there is any ...

From the Sigma link above: While offering the same high-performance optical design as other lenses in the Art line, the new E-mount models will feature a newly developed control algorithm that ...

I don't think anyone is disputing that the E, EF and SA versions are the same optical formula. But Sigma did more then just lengthen the lens body to create the E version. The development details ...

I was trying to be as clear as possible. As the link shows, Sigma went beyond what you describe to make this a native lens. Adapted usually has a specific meaning: Taking a lens designed for one ...

There is no adapter. The lens is one piece. Sigma has taken a lens design and built it in different mounts for different brand cameras. Sigma has done a lot more then just add extra length to make ...

Where did you see that? The lens itself doesn't have IS, so IBIS would be handy.

There is a native E mount version now.

Looks nice.  Would be great for small, lightweight landscape kit. I wonder what "Lens Hood: Attached" means. Don't see it in the photo. Maybe just that a hood is included.

I was wondering the same thing. Cameras, audio gear, electronics, computers (Apple got an exemption). When you get into purchasing $1k plus items, a 10% tariff starts to factor in. I guess when ...

Sony already does the cropping option. Mirrorless APS and FF cameras have the same lens mount. A FF camera can be set to crop automatically when an APS lens is mounted. That allows people to use ...

I'll continue to use m4/3 for most things and my Sony A7 gear at times. The new mirrorless Nikon body looks big. (Based on the shadowy pictures so far). If I wanted big, I would have stayed with ...

The Panasonic 45-175 also has power zoom. That's the only one I have.

Selling my Sony FE 24-70 f/4 lens. Bought new in August 2017. Used lightly, like new. Works fine. I've gradually switched to primes, so don't use it anymore. Comes with all original accessories, ...

I'd suggest shooting something flat and parallel, 10-20 feet away. Then turn the camera upside down and take another shot. Then compare right to right, left to left.

I've also owned 2 or 3 m9-18's. The one have now is probably as sharp as any of the others. Great lens for being so compact and light. But none of them really had sharp edges. I've since settled ...

You're right, it would not come with a filter. Sounds like someone bought it, put the filter on and went out and took pictures. Then it was returned for some reason. The store certainly owes you ...
