POLL: Choose the three Sony-Zeiss lenses you want in 2017

I collected your FF E-mount lens suggestions and summed them up in this poll. The idea is to help Sony and Zeiss to get a general idea of what lens is requested by the SAR community. So please think before to choose…your vote matters!

Choose the three lenses Sony or Zeiss have to announce in 2017:

A couple of notes on the poll:

  • The list is ordered by focal length
  • To simplify the poll I removed all your OSS GM Batis Zeiss suggestions on the lens specs.
  • If you don’t find your perfect lens specs on the list just try to vote something close to it.
  • Be aware that faster lenses will be bulkier and more expensive.
  • The poll percentage shows how many of the overall voters voted that lens
