A7rII for 2999 at [shopcountry 56901] (600 Euro off)

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:
