Jan: “I just finished the timelapse from my town, hradec kralove: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajd0RQJn6Ks
it was shot on sony a5100 and nex-5n with 16mm f/2,8 SEL and 18-200mm f/3,5-6,3 OSS LE
i love those little cameras. there is no need for full frame, if you don’t have the budget for it. it isn’t about tools you use, but about the results you deliver.”

(SR2) is the new 24-70mm FE GM lens a compact zoom?

Share

Back in August Sony registered a new 24-70mm GM lens in Russia. I have no clue what “GM” stands for. But an anonymous source claims to knwo what it is:

Sony will release a new lens called SEL2470GMa cheaper version 24-70mm with smaller size, it will be sony’s future kit lens, possibly electronic zoom

By the way, he also added this:

also, the A9 body, which is higher than the A7rII does exist, but I’m not sure if sony want to release it or not

Still, this is a new source and rarely those kind of rumors become true. But I would certainly like to get a compact zoom for the A7 cameras. And you?
