POLL: Should Tamron make the 17-35 f/2.0-2.8 FE lens?
It’s years I didn’t such favorable poll numbers for a new lens. Over 76% of you are seriously considering to buy the new Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0-28 FE lens! Here are the results:
Will you consider to buy the new Tamron 35-150mm lens?
- Yes! (76%, 3,455 Votes)
- No. (24%, 1,090 Votes)
Total Voters: 4,545
Loading ...Now it’s natural to think that Tamron could (and should!) expand that fast zoom lineup. And some of you suggested me to make this poll. The 17-35 f/2.0-2.8 FE would probably be the perfect lens to cover the entire 17-150mm focal length. So the question is….
Loading ...Dpreview tested the 24mm, 40mm and 50mm G compact prime lenses
Dpreviews conclusion is:
Sony’s trio of compact primes offer respectable optical performance, fast focus, and great handling and controls in a compact, lightweight form factor. The 50mm F2.5G is tack sharp wide open, with nearly zero distortion and lateral chromatic aberration. Unfortunately it suffers from textured bokeh and fringing due to longitudinal chromatic aberration. Focus breathing may be an issue for some videographers.

RUMOR: Sony A7IV launch is rumored to have been postponed from mid September to late October
image on top is a mockup
The same source that first told me about the ZV-E10 camera launch delay now told me that Sony moved the A7IV launch date from mid September to at least October. He also told me that supplies will be limited during the first months :/
This was to be expected. The chip shortage is a big issue for 2021. Many news outlets reported that situation should normalize in 2022 only.
