Zeiss Batis 135mm vs Sigma 135mm size comparison

Share

[shoplink 57167][/shoplink] via CameraSize

As you can see from the image above the size different between the new Sony A7rII + [shoplink 57167]Batis 135mm f/2.8[/shoplink] and the Canon 5Dr + [shoplink 57168]Sigma 135mm f/1.8[/shoplink] are small.

In Zeiss defense we have to add: The Batis has weather sealing, in lens stabilization and more importantly it weights almost half as much as the Sigma!

Preorders:
Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 lens at Adorama, Bhphoto, PhotoPorstNeuwied and ParkCameras.
Zeiss Batis 135mm lens shade at Adorama and Bhphoto.

Sony a99 Mk II Review (vs a7R II, Canon 5D Mk IV, Nikon D810)

Share

Tony & Chelsea Northrup do think this is kind of the ultimate camera. The real issue Tony has with the camera is the uncertain future of A-mount. Also ePhotozine published their A99II review and do conclude:

Sony last announced new Sony A mount lenses in 2015, which were updates to existing lenses. Sony seem to be more committed to releasing lenses for the Sony FE mount, with new full-frame lenses announced for that system regularly. Yes, the A99-II is an excellent camera, and if you have a collection of lenses for the system, then it would make an excellent upgrade from the A99, but considering Sony’s focus on their mirrorless camera system, it’s difficult to see a long and prosperous future for Sony’s A-mount. 

Sony A99II at [shopcountry 56569].

Note: I want to stress that Sony confirmed once again that A-mount is here to stay :)
