New GM lens reviews by Newsshooter: “fly-by-wire system focus to the point where it now feels and acts much more naturally”

Handheld Sony G-Master 24-70mm and 85mm shots from Dan Chung on Vimeo.

Newsshooter tested the lenses from a filmmaker use perspective:

At the end of the day I was won over – especially by the 85mm. What Sony have somehow managed to do is improve the fly-by-wire system focus to the point where it now feels and acts much more naturally – more like the ones found on Canon L and Nikon lenses (which are mostly mechanically coupled via rollers). There is very little lag between you stopping focussing and the lens following you. Both lenses have over 100 degrees of rotation between near focus and infinity. Both also focus past infinity like many other stills designs. I found it relatively easy to do rack focus shots by hand. If there were focus errors in the video it was usually my fault and not the lens.
