2 years ago |i was hoping for a lens like this to arrive in about 1 year from now, the perfect range and speed for apsc. I don’t really care for the price as long as it’s under 1300$.

2 years ago |only noticed this…but the current 16-80mm lens is a Carl Zeiss not a G lens so the replacement should still be a Zeiss lens not a G one.

Its super sharp for Travel and Studio work.
Controls flare very well.
Only real room for improvement is:
* SSM
* Fstop
* Build should be metal
* Barrel snugness (mine has a little play)
I’d hate to see it disappear to be replaced by a G. Not that G’s are worse, I just think this Zeiss with it’s T* coating is hard to beat.

2 years ago |It looks like a potentially nice contribution – one that might be a great crossover between NEX (due to its quiter focussing) and alpha dslrs.
I’m astonshed about the lack of good leaks relating to Photokina – however don’t feel like you have start inventing thngs just to fill the void.
