They had collective apoplexy upon learning that Sony will announce an f/8 zoom, and they're still recovering.
Fortunately, Canon stopped crippling most* of their products needlessly, so there’s no point in talking about the hammer anymore. In fact, Sony are the ones now using the hammer, which sucks… I’d have hoped that that thing would be buried somewhere inaccessible, like Greenland, instead of being passed on to a competitor. The camera world needs less crippling and more enabling instead.
„Some of the best…“
Every time I’ve pointed out that for Canon RF full frame you can cover 15-400mm with 3 zooms costing a total of $1500 list (and as low as $1250 with good timing), and ask if something similar is possible for Nikon or Sony even with 3rd party lenses, the response is…
Yes I did.
Don’t know about US pricing, but in Europe you could buy Tamron 17-50/4 and Tamron 50-400/6.3 for about the same money.
Thanks. They’re $2000 together here.Don’t know about US pricing, but in Europe you could buy Tamron 17-50/4 and Tamron 50-400/6.3 for about the same money.
Still missing 2mm on the wide end, but those zooms are faster and only two lenses, so less lens switching
Ah okay, Canon is really expensive in Europe. Or Tamron is cheap over here, which would be strange, cause everything is more expensive here (cameras, lenses, electronics in general).
Interesting.
Ever shot wide open with inexpensive Tamron lenses? Mediocre at best...Interesting.
I would prefer having two (faster) lenses covering these focal lengths instead of three. Too much lens switching… but probably I wouldn’t buy any of these lenses
Was that a rhetorical question? It's bragging rights of course! Also, you imply that you actually take pictures with your gear, that's not how it works!
