Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - Klaus - 08-28-2019 α6600 https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/interchangeable-lens-cameras/ilce-6600 α6100 https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/interchangeable-lens-cameras/ilce-6100 E 16-55mm f/2.8 G https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/camera-lenses/sel1655g E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/camera-lenses/sel70350g RE: Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - Spinifex - 08-28-2019 It's strange that Sony is still not using its 26 mp BSI sensor that, AFAIK, they are supplying to Fuji for their X-T3 and X-T30. RE: Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - toni-a - 08-28-2019 16-50 doesn't have OSS while not all Sony APS-C have IBIS, you might argue it's a high end lens to use on high end bodies... But still, I wouldn't get it if no stabilization since I am not ready to invest in a new Sony body, it would have been nice on my wife's A6000 if stabilised RE: Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - Spinifex - 08-28-2019 (08-28-2019, 05:26 PM)toni-a Wrote: 16-50 doesn't have OSS while not all Sony APS-C have IBIS, you might argue it's a high end lens to use on high end bodies...

I think it's a matter of size, weight and price, though optical considerations might also come in play. RE: Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - toni-a - 08-28-2019 Because of very practical range, f2.8 and stabilization, plus very decent optics, Canon 17-55f2.8 was my preferred lens from 2006 till 2019 when i moved to EOS RP, it even made me switch back to APS-C after a short period with full frame in 2014 It wasn't compact nor lightweight.... RE: Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - Klaus - 08-28-2019 I'm positively surprised actually. Ok, the cameras are just business as usual. However, the MTFs of those lenses are looking very good, they are light-weight and compact. the 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS is actually just as light-weight as the Leica 50-200mm f/2.8-4 but provides more reach and even a slight equivalent speed advantage at the long end. Honestly, I think this is quite a blow for Fuji and MFT - albeit a very late one.

However, the MTFs of those lenses are looking very good, they are light-weight and compact. Indeed, from the MFTs graphs, the 16-55 seems to be the best APS-C lens of its type, both in terms of IQ and size/weight. Easily beating the Fuji for instance. However, the 70-350 doesn't have a speed advantage over the Pany 50-200 at the long end. The 70-350 would be equivalent to a 52-263 f3.4-4.7 MFT lens though, so it's slower at both ends than the MFT lens (however, I don't know what its aperture would be at an 200 MFT equiv focal length). What Sony has done with their "cheap" APS-C primes is very nice too:
RE: Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - Rover - 08-29-2019 I thought these 3 primes are from Sigma actually? RE: Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - JJ_SO - 08-29-2019 Yep, that's genuine Sigma glass RE: Sony α6600, α6100, 16-55G, 70-350G announced - thxbb12 - 08-29-2019 (08-29-2019, 07:37 AM)JJ_SO Wrote: Yep, that's genuine Sigma glass Ooops... I guess I'm already senile! I meant to write Sigma but somehow I wrote Sony. Ugh. |
