RUMOR: First test suggest the Tamron 70-180mm FE is sharper than the Sony 70-200mm GM lens!

Share

One of the first images of the new lens mounted on the Sony A7III (via Digitalcamera.jp)

I received the first test report of the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 FE lens. I was told we shall get some more “official” news about this lens soon. In the meantime I can share this:

  • Lens MTF at f/2.8 shows that at least at 70mm and 180mm the lens is sharper than the Sony GM 70-200
  • VXD motor is incredibly fast and is able to focus across its focusing range almost instantly

The lens tested was close to final production version. If confirmed this is indeed great news. Now let’s hope Tamron will share full pricing and shipment start info next week…

RUMOR: Coronavirus outbreak is affecting all camera and lens manufacturers

Share

A couple of company and store managers told me that more or less ALL camera and lens manufacturers are affected by the coronavirus outbreak. While some cameras and lenses might be assembled in Japan or Vietnam there are always parts coming from China. And this will be the bottleneck int he production.

What exactly the effects will be are now impossible to tell. We have to hope for the people’s sake that this outbreak will be contained soon. And only after that companies will know how many months of production delay they will have to expect.
