Thought there is already a 16-35mm F2.8 CZ?

 

[blurblur]

Then I can sell CZ1680 & save up to buy CZ1750. blurblur rite?

 

[Fusion1]

hmmm i just noticed, the alpha body shown looks similar to an Alpha 300 except for the A500 and 17.2 MP tag .

Err... 16-80mm CZ is not F2.8.

Haha... That is why, I don't too much hope on this news...

 

[MontoyaSG]

Could also be a revamp of the KM 28-75mm f2.8.

Isn't the Tamron also based off the KM version too??

 

[MontoyaSG]

Well I was hoping for a 24-70mm SAM one step down from the CZ but still good... pity about that... or even the 24-105 f/4...

I was so hoping for the 24-105 F4 but sadly there's no news of it...

How about Sony introduce to Tilt Shift lens? Haha;p

I second that ! However, it would most certainly be expensive Checked out third-party (made in Russia) type but doubtful about IQ.

That's true.

The market for this would be really small...

The date could be spot on, as it is the 1st day after the Japanese summer break.

Check this http://sonystyle-store.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2009-08-22 and this http://sonystyle-store.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2009-07-20 too for perhaps more info on a potential release soon.

Anyone have any idea when Tokina is bringing out the new range of Alpha mount lenses?

(Not off topic, I can't buy A850 until Tokina 10-17mm available)

By the end of this year the soonest I think.

Exactly, Nikon and Canon are able to do that perhaps due to bigger market shares.

Thought Tokina 10-17mm is for APS-C sensor ? Is there a new one for FF ?

I always believe that if you never try, you will never know. You have to make the big step, like the rest, if you are serious about competing to be one of the leaders.

Let's hope Sony will be garang enough to do that so we will benefit

It is easy to modify the lens for use on FF,

Here is an example, from Singapore, of shaving a Nikon 10.5mm lens.
