My new lens?

[Emanuel]

Just waiting for the price of this AF 14-24mm f/2.8 beauty...

Who else?

[Emanuel]

Seems not... Iberian (Portugal & Spain) sources look like to go ahead on this stuff, for some reason this Portuguese can confirm at 1st hand in this forum now, here is the price:

I guess this one will arrive at my end at least to couple my FX30...

Looks like a decent price for a daylight lens (love zooms, by the way ; ) What such a 24-450mm 615 g workhorse!

You take this and this one early morning when you go to the street and you don't need much more up to your arrival back home (well, let's not forget Clear Image Zoom + active IBIS and 4K120fps on FX30 to help to make it real all this when a prime becomes a few ones in your hands... ; )

Funny to say the least ;- )

Terrific range...

And tool by consequence BTW -- let alone 6-stops at the wide end and 4.5-stops at the telephoto end which expands the number of shots you're able to get straight from your hands as you can see here (no replacement for a gimbal when walking for sure but why should it be anyway? ; )

Follows a dead silent AF and no breathing outcome...

Well, here's another interesting one from Samyang for L-mount.

Previously Sony FE only...

...now also available in L-mount ; )

The new LK Samyang AF 60-180mm F2.8 weighs only 728g, which is remarkably light for a constant f/2.8 full-frame telephoto zoom (and at about a grand it is also considerably cheaper than the usual 70-200mm f/2.8 options).

It has no optical stabilization (OIS), in either L-mount or Sony FE, unfortunately : ( A deal breaker for Sigma FP owners/lovers, as for instance.

60mm at the wide end is actually quite useful for video, and losing 20mm at the long end seems a very reasonable trade-off for that size and weight.

And owners of many cinema cameras.

And, to a large extent, owners of cameras with sensor shift IS.  I've found that, in general, lens IS is a lot better than sensor shift IS when at longer focal lengths.  There are already a bunch of used Sigma/Tamron 70-200/2.8 available in that price range.  Plus even some first party options aren't much more used - the EF 70-200/2.8L IS series tend to be right around $1,000-1,200 at MPB here.

If you really want the extra 10mm at the wide end, though, it looks fine.

FFS, got to be THE WORST 'soft' launch ever as I have never heard of this until 2 minutes ago...and been in the market for something like this for months to replace my broken LUMIX 70-200mm f4!!

Just bought the Sigma 28-105mm f2.8 to do the job instead not really needing 200mm but would have preferred 150...

Hey ho, might consider it for next year but spent up now having just made the decision to exchange my LUMIX f1.8: 18/35/50/85 and spare Sigma 28-70 for the Sigma f1.4 trio of: 20/35/85

I was considering a different camera for stills for 2027 but dropped the idea after downloading some files and trying them earlier today...
