First image of the new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 FE lens mounted on the Sony A7III

Share

Digitalcamera.jp shared the first image of the new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 FE lens mounted on the Sony A7III. Here is the google translated text of their first impression:

-With a development announcement, the 70-180mmF2.8 is extremely compact, although it will be released next spring.
-If you look at the actual machine, it is compact enough not to think of F2.8. It feels even smaller than Canon’s “RF70-200mmF2.8L”.
-Weighs in the 800g range, this size makes it feel like you can easily carry it around.
-Furthermore, AF speed is quite high, so it seems to be useful for shooting moving objects. It ’s a very fun lens.

Here are also the images of the three new f/2.8 primes:

The 20mm f/2.8 will be released in January!

LEAKED: This is the new Tokina ATX-M 85mm f/1.8 FE lens!

Share

This is the leaked image of the new Tokina 85mm f/1.8 FE lens. The lens will start shipping out on February 7 and cost around $500+ (550 Euro).

It’s hard to make a decent size comparison as the image show the lens slightly tilted. But it looks like the lens will be bigger than the excellent Sony 85mm f/1.8 and about on par with the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8:

No info yet about when the lens will be officially announced by Tokina but I guess it will be unveiled sometimes in January…

Thanks Jose!
