Hey Folks,

 

for me the FE 28mm f2 is the most interesting lens of the four new lenses so I took the time to gather all the available information and full resolution samples images and the MTF graph and analyzed them to summarize what we know abut the lens so far.

So if you are interested in the lens pleas check out my blog post about it: SONY FE 28MM F2 – WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

This sample and the ones posted by photorumors (without any attributes to who photographed them) shows one thing.  The photographer had no idea about the built in electronic level available in the A7 II.

 

May be it is too much ask for a straight horizon from these Sony testers?

So, I don't know how this works, but I ordered the 28mm F2.0 lens from the Sony Australia website on Sunday. The website was taking orders, and the lens wasn't listed as 'out of stock', like the FE 35mm F1.4 lens. The Sony store salesman assured me availability for the lens would be more than a month away.

 

It arrived today.

 

Sweet.

I see a hood. Could you put that on the lens and show it?  There isn't a single picture of that hood I can find anywhere. :(

Never mind.  I found out it is ALC-SH112.

 

The very same one for the NEX kit zoom 18-55! 

 

(Replacement costs $2.25/shipped from China.)

OK - will post more pics when I get a chance.

 

This is a pic from last night, right after I got the lens. OOC - shot at F2, ISO 10,000 (shrunk to fit 1MB limit. How do I attach full-sized photos?)

You can't upload them directly to the forum. But you can upload them to flickr and embed a smaller preview here.

Great with 21mm ultra wide converter too! Decently sharp landscape / cityscape lens. A must have for weight conscious travellers.

 

I have created a page on flickr to pool images from this lens and its converters as well

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
