There is a thin rubber band at the camera end. But no other sealing at all. So altogether it is NOT sealed. But still a nice lens. A sunny weather lens ?
Wait a little, then the price will maybe...

Very positive impression. It is a small lens and still the quality looks good. Quite impressive. Will be on my short list.

Not a very nice version. Looks kind of cheap. The shutter sound is probably “bling bling”.

As a photographer I try to understand the tools. The ones I have and also potential future tools I don't know, yet.
Other "photographers" come here only to read the same old jokes again. And...

No need to love it, as it is only a tool.
But as a tool you should compare it (and the whole series) to a 28mm cinema lens, not to an average mirrorless Sony 28mm lens.

After seeing the comments in this section one thing is obvious. Most readers do not understand the idea behind this series of lenses.
They have probably never seen professional lenses for cinema...

As you maybe know from high end cinema lenses, this series of lenses are made to be of almost identical size and weight, with equal handling and apertures, so that they can be used interchangeably...

There is no simple explanation. Why do you think there always is one ?
The engineers have taken a lot of effort to create the best possible lens. No easy way to explain the result as many...

Apo is not generally defined or protected. But if it is a Leica lens then you know what Apo means. Or also for some older Contax lenses.
But my current lens is already good enough. But a...

A nice lens. The only Apo 28mm I know of. For some it is worth the price. But I have the 16-35 zoom, and I think it is good enough for now.
It is maybe the perfect 28 that some have been waiting...

This is a much smaller format. A 75mm or at max 80mm is the equivalent to the 50mm in FF. So the lenses are not very big. But of course they are not so abundant as in FF, especially in wide angle...

Did not like the gallery, sorry. Maybe mainly shot in bad weather. Or the pics were here too small for 100 MP. Sorry, I had expected more.

I see the technical progress. But the real question is, how much better will the pictures be because of that ? Or on how many occasions will I now get a decent photo, when it was not possible...

An amazing piece of technology (specs) - on paper.
In reality ? Nobody knows, but is it completely wrong to expect that it will be the same mediocre (should I say cheap ? Better not) camera body...

I had a look at the 5 photos from the Sony ad. The eagle looks good at first sight. But if you look at the details, you find that focus is on the beak and not on the eye. 🤧😷🤓. Disappointed ?🤨

Yes I agree it is not the best use of time to be reading this. But currently life is very “restricted” in Europe, and probably in most places.
So yes, nice technology. But so what ?
I try to make...

I looked at the reaction. And was not surprised, the boys hail it as if it is the best thing since sliced bread.
Like young dogs.
But I am an old dog. I find the camera a little better than the a9...

This would have been the camera for January sixth. Now it comes too late.
No, I think it is dead ugly. A “stupid” camera for machos. Maybe even a disgrace. No added value, a Leica enthusiast would...

I saw here some fierce discussions who has “really” won this contest.
I like the comparison with going to an excellent restaurant with 4 (or 5 with the SL2) excellent dishes to choose from.
Which...

One thing to add: highres mode. Terrible on the Sony, excellent on S1R and Leica SL2. It improves DR, gives true color and if you wish additionally excellent resolution for archiving or even...
