Officially anounced. I find this figure interesting :lol:

You just wonder how many lens lines they want/can support.  I am wondering whether that will cost them - most serious amateur users want to see commitment to future support.

First of all - I am massively impressed.

 

But then I also see something like this

Sample photo from the Zeiss 24-70mm. Obviously decentered (upper left vs bottom right).

Honestly they should at least pay attention to their online sample images.

 

I don't get it.

I'm also slightly wondering about the size/weight of the new 70-200/4.

[Brightcolours]

The weight and size should be similar to the Nikkor I guess?

[Klaus]

If so there would be an obvious mismatch between the camera and the lens - and yes, this thing looks big.

Honestly I'm not sure whether a general purpose full format mirrorless camera makes sense.

Can you imagine a 500mm lens & this camera ?

 

For street photography, landscape and portraits - yes, just like Leica M. But for sports and wildlife (assuming that the AF was good enough) ?

This image with the 55f1.8 seems to have no LoCA; do you think it was removed in PP or the lens is APO ?
