Hands-On Review: New Tamron 24mm and 35mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 E-Mount Lenses

Share

Allan Weitz (Click here) tested the new Tamron 24mm and 35mm FE lenses and concluded:

As the accompanying photographs clearly illustrate, the close-focusing ability of these wide-angle lenses greatly expands the creative possibilities of whatever your subject matter may be. Both display a bit of vignetting at wide aperture, which diminishes as you stop the lens down toward f/8. And while these f/2.8 lenses may not be speed queens, they are sharp—very sharp. Autofocusing was fast and accurate, though in my opinion, a bit noisy for video applications. This might prove to be a deal breaker for potential video-oriented consumers.

Dan Watson also tested the new lenses:

Marc Galer: 2020 – Sony Alpha Imaging Developments – Where to from here?

Share

Marc Galer:

What does the future have in store for Sony Alpha photographers? 2020 marks an important point in Sony’s imaging technology development. Sony has been at the forefront of imaging innovation in the interchangeable lens camera market since 2010 (with this introduction of their SLT and Mirrorless cameras). The camera releases in 2020 will, however, send a strong signal to the industry as to whether they intend to continue to release revolutionary new products or slowly evolve /fine-tune exisiting technologies. In this speculative discussion Mark looks at possible new cameras Sony camera will release in 2020.
The launch of the A7IV (A7M4) and their next APS-C camera will be the cameras that tell us if Sony intend to tread water for a while or continue to shake the imaging market with revolutionary new products.
