    • Latest spec seems to suggest 24mp for the Z6iii allowing it to be 6k capable. The question is whether that will be cropped 6k or not… 6k 50/60p uncropped internal? Is that asking too much? I think it would be a requirement for me… I’m more interested to see if there is going to be a Z7iii with 60+mp sensor. Not for video and not because I need or want more mp for the sake of mp, but because it would allow me to replace 2x bodies and 3x lenses with a single body plus 2x lens set up and that is worth dealing with the extra file sizes to me. It looks like the Z6iii at least will be announced next month, ie, April…
    • Another thought and that is have you considered a full frame lens? I wasn’t going to, but testing the photo side of my kit on 2x portrait shoots, I decided I did have a hole in my lineup...so bought another Tamron E Mount lens, the current version of the 28-75mm f2.8 Now I suspect in FF flavour you are going to call that too short, but on your APSC camera, it’s going to be a 42-112/3 equivalent. Still too short, IDK, only you can answer that, but it weighs basically the same as the APSC 17-70, so thought it was worth mentioning?    
    • Correction, it weighs 855g compared with say Sigmas new 70-200 at 1335g, so around 1/2kg or 1lb heavier. OK, the latter is without question a more sophisticated and robust bit of kit, but I know which I’d rather lug around all day and that is the factor that swings it for me personally.
    • Yes, that’s fair enough and should there be a situation where there was some provenance or personal connection, I would also make an exception. ’My’ experience was monthly updates of a company swanning around the world, asking for evermore amounts of cash for increased swanning. Until they pulled the plug and refused to allow anything or anyone else to carry out the project 🤨
    • I’ve just had some ‘slippage’ myself and ordered the latest version of the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 to complete what will now be a triumvirate of E Mount lenses adapted to my Nikon Z cameras. That is: 20-40, 28-75 and 70-180. Several options available at the wider end but 20 and 40 are two ‘perfect’ focal lengths for me and with all my zooms, this is how I use them, - as a twin prime set up with a single turn rather than needing to change a lens. The 70-180 at a touch over 900g, is the only ‘70-200’ in full frame under 1kg with the other options being approx 1250-1500g, plus physically much larger, so for me, the best long lens available. The 28-75 is an easy pick for me over any of the more trad 24-70’s, all of which are larger and heavier, plus 24mm is a meh focal length to me and though it’s only 5mm, longer is better. The only other viable option is the Sigma 28-70mm which is slightly smaller and lighter still, but zooms in the other direction so doesn’t fit with those other bookend zooms. Finally, being E Mount, I can use them adapted on Z or should things ever change into a Sony body direction, I already have the glass. And then there is the 35-150mm f2-2.8 I have not got one and have zero intention of doing so but if I needed a ‘one and done’, this would be it, my point being that for my needs, Tamron is in a league of one when it comes to lenses so I have been building my next gen system around them. And yes, I am aware that it has just been announced that the Tamron 28-75mm G2 is shortly arriving in Z Mount, but as above, I have more options down the road with E Mount. Plus I’m not paying the Nikon lens tax!
