Too heavyOnly 93g!! If its as good as 35mm/2.8 they have I'll definitely buy one. I really miss the minolta 24mm f2.8 AF prime from my a-mount days. I was really hoping for a small 24mm prime and finally its here!
Too heavy
Would be decent on my little A6000, definitely one to keep an eye on

The rumor site says that the Samyang 24mm f2.8 has been announced...

Review...
https://www.ephotozine.com/article/samyang-af-24mm-f-2-8-fe-review-32367
A few snippets from that review...
"Sharpness is crisp and precise and it is no surprise to see that centrally it rates as excellent from f/2.8 all the way through to f/16. Diffraction results in a slight drop at f/22, but even here it is still very good.
The edges are a close match, being excellent from f/2.8 to f/11 and still very good at f/16 and f/22. Even using the full frame image sharpness is really even across the frame and every aperture is totally usable."
"The Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE lens is priced at £279.99, a very fair and equitable amount to ask."
"We seem to have gone full circle and classic prime lenses, once the only choice, are seemingly being rediscovered and once again becoming highly sought after. Compact, high quality and reasonable priced it is not difficult to see why. The optical designs have in some cases benefited from modern technologies and glasses and they can comfortably surpass the performance of their predecessors.
This is where we find the Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 lens – superb performance, compact size, excellent price and a compelling focal length to use. There's nothing to dislike, everything to like and an obvious Editor's Choice."
That's nice
I can see this selling well
I have two manual 24mm f2.8's and no time to use them... so I'll probably end up buying this
I will be having one of the Samyang 24 2.8 lenses! Any word on release date ?
It's nice to see that the 3rd parties are trying to deliver lenses that don't massively compromise on quality but are still offered at more reasonable prices. I can see me moving over to a Tamron 28-75, Samyang 24/2.8 and possibly an FE85/1.8 as a 3 lens setup. I wonder if Sony will stick to their higher-priced lenses and leave the 3rd parties to the rest or will they release their own lenses to compete?
Clearly it's possible to build good quality glass at reasonable prices and in compact sizes, something Sony hasn't really bothered doing up to now but maybe the competition as positive reviews will make them try.

Stopped reading it when I saw the 24-70GM a few places higher than the 16-35GM - they must be on fricking drugs LOLThere's a link in that review to the 29 best Sony e/fe mount lenses...

Interestingly neither the 55mm f1.8 or 35mm f2.8 are included, I'd say that both are excellent and the 55mm f1.8 in particular is very good indeed and surely that and maybe the 35mm f2.8 too deserve to be included but what do I know.

It says best lenses - the 24-70 is in no way better than the16-35.overall 24-70mm is probably a better "general" recommendation for a lens than 16-35mm. not everyone needs the UWA

Not sure how they can score something down as it is not as popular a focal length - surely it has to be reviewed on the technical aspects of the lens?
Meh, primes
Odd they they don't list either the Sony Zeiss 50mm f1.4 or the Zeiss Loxia 21mm. I guess that there are a lot of factors that go into the mix when evaluating a lens. I think that both of those lenses are right up thereThere's a link in that review to the 29 best Sony e/fe mount lenses...

Hi all i am looking at an ipad or ipad pro for travelling with. The main use for a tablet is to watch and consume movies offline, browse the net, maybe play a few games here and there and to also view raws and maybe make use of lightroom mobile.
My question is, can the ipad pro/normal one be able to connect to an external hdd or even an sd card reader?
cool i just saw. can you stream content through it thoug or do you have to transfer any videos across?

Also, is there also an adapter to connect the ipad pro to a hdmi connected hdTV for watching in full screen mode?
No, you can only copy images directly from it to the iPad. You can't stream from a directly connected storage media. Alternatively, if you want to stream video, you can use a wifi drive.
Same site (Apple)

That's a really weird coincidence , I've just spent the last 2 hours comparing different systems and I've decided on the Ipad Pro 12.9 inch. I'm going to go to the nearest Apple store to try out the Lightroom Mobile capability although I've probably seen enough on Youtube to convince me. I shall then probably get one from Apple Refurb.Hi all i am looking at an ipad or ipad pro for travelling with.
