I just checked my vacation images taken with the A6000 and the Zeiss 16-70.

I have to admit ... I am not thrilled by the quality. The borders are rather soft.

 

Back to MFT for me I reckon.

Stop using zooms - You are right, but there are some exceptions. Oly 12-40 is one.

What zoom lenses are in your backpack for a one-week trek?

Do you still have the Leica D Vario-Elmar 14-150mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH OIS?

I guess it's the small an lightweight Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4-5.6 ED R MSC and not the new f/2.8 !-)

No need for the Olympus M.Zuiko 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED?

I hope that before leaving it go you found the time for a review, including numbers :-) I've been using it since a long time and - while I perfectly understand your point of view - for me is ok. Too expensive for quality, but it has been an improvement relative to what I was using before, both in terms of size/weight and IQ.

 

Still I'm curious to see the MTF numbers.

Sony a6300, Sony a6000, Sony NEX-6, Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS, Sony Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS, Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS, Sigma 150-600mm Æ’/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary, Samyang 12mm Æ’/2, Sigma 30mm F2.8 DN | A, Meyer Gorlitz Trioplan 100mm Æ’/2.8, Samyang 8mm Æ’/3.5 fish-eye II | Zenit Helios 44-2 58mm Æ’/2 
Plus some legacy Nikkor lenses.

Actually for light weight travel I still have the Panasonic 40-150 which produces quite amazing results actually.

And I still have the Panasonic 7-14/4.

 

Admittedly I ordered the 40-150/2.8 primarily for testing but you never know ;-)

I will, of course, continue to test Sony equipment. During the next 3 months there'll be at least 6 tests on my list.
