TN Args: You seem to confuse EVF refresh rate with the read-out speed of the sensor. These are very different things.

There is another option - sell the A7III and buy an A7RIII or IV. You will get an FF and APS-C camera in one body.

You are at least two orders of magnitude off here. Currently, there are 45 serious cases out of 1700 identified ones in the Netherlands. That's 3%, not 10%. And then, very importantly, most ...

55mm on APS-C is very close to 85mm on FF, which is the classical portrait focal length you are probably referring to.

Zeiss Touit 12mm F2.8 for E-and X- mount.

You may disagree, but you are not the one to decide the terminology.

WJMWJM: Your definition is not widely accepted, as far as I can tell. My impression is that wide usually means 24-35mm and UWA anything wider than 24mm.

The diameter of the elements most certainly have an influence on vignetting.

I am afraid you will be disappointed. This is exactly the focal length where APS-C specific lenses make the most sense. 20mm FF lenses are large, heavy and expensive. Look at the Tokina 20mm/2 or ...

According to the press release, the closest focusing distance is 12 cm at the wide-angle end, and 23 cm at the telephoto end. That corresponds well with 20cm for the 12-40mm/2.8 with 0.3x...

You don't have to stop down to F5.6-11 to get most out of them, you have to stop down to get things in focus.

Toni Salmonelli: the comparable lens from Fuji is the XF16-80mm F4, which weighs 440g and cost 850€. And it's still more than a stop slower at the wide end. The XF18-55/2.8-4 is similarly fast but...

The smartphones are not even remotely comparable at the telephoto end either. E.g., the 125mm telephoto lens in the Huawei P30 Pro has a 1/4" sensor and a f/3.4 aperture. That's 11x crop and thus...

Yes, I stand corrected. The magnification is available across the zoom range, as described in the press release:

"It features supreme macro capabilities with a maximum magnification of 0.5x (35mm...

You are confused. This lens does not have zero bokeh:

Karroly: no, there is none for R-mount.

tmascolo: you are confused. This lens has a 1.5cm aperture (105mm/7.1) at the telephoto end. No smartphone can come even remotely close to this.

Tony Salmonelli: This lens is equivalent to 16-70mm F2.6-4.6 on APS-C. How many such lenses are available for $400? None from first party manufacturers, as far as I know.

xeppelin: Nobody asked for f/7.1? At least I wished for compact and affordable F5.6-8 FF lenses. I haven't bough a 24-105mm/4 lens because it's too big for me. Yes, obviously, this lens has...

dpfan32: There is no 12-52mm F2-3.5 lens for MFT and if there was, it would cost over $1000. This lens looks like a fantastic compromise of size and light gathering capability and at a very low...
