They seem to have overdone it with switches this time ;-)

Huh, never really noticed that.
lenstip just reviewed it, they were fast!

Sony did it again: it looks like they managed to produce the best 70-200 f2.8 lens out there.
In fact, it beats the new Nikon Z 70-200 in all categories, while being smaller, lighter and with fewer lens elements (17 elements/14 groups vs 21 elements/18 groups)!
The "wide mount" talk from Nikon seems a bit difficult to swallow. Even if it allows for better theoretical designs, in practice Sony is manufacturing incredible lenses, often better than the competition, despite their so called limited mount.
Here is the Nikon Z review for comparison: https://www.lenstip.com/616.1-Lens_review-Nikon_Nikkor_Z_70-200_mm_f_2.8_VR_S_Introduction.html

A 70-200mm f2.8 is not a type of lens that will exploit the wider mount. Sony's limited IBIS performance might be related to the narrow mount, though.
