The new Tamron 17-50 F4 lens - distortion is quite significant at 17mm.
I'm debating getting this, or a Viltrox 16mm F1.8, along side my 35mm F2.8 Prime

You’re seeing this on a lot of lenses these days, heavily relying on corrections. As long as it’s a true 17mm after corrections it doesn’t worry me.The new Tamron 17-50 F4 lens - distortion is quite significant at 17mm.

I honestly don’t think some people have a conscience, on the Sony Facebook group a “pro” who shoots weddings has asked what ISO and shutter speed settings he should be using. I honestly feel so sorry for people that book “professionals” that don’t know what they’re doing
Clifton cameras have the new 70-200mm f4 ii for £1388.

Massive saving on the 50mm f1.2 GM here
Toni. 50GM. Mate, easy for me to say as I’ve got one. Get it. Honestly you’ll never regret it once you’ve used it and looked at the results. I expect you know this already. Yep it’s a load of cash…etc..I hope in that case he leaves it up to the camera, because at least that can make a decent choice.
I'd really like to buy Anand's, but find it hard to justify £1300 on a single lens.
Didn’t realise he’d got one for sale, £1300 is a lot of money but I genuinely believe it’s worth it. Of course, we all have our own judgement of value and worthI hope in that case he leaves it up to the camera, because at least that can make a decent choice.

The sigma lens is f2.8 and weights 1330g. Can't use TCs with it either thanks to Sony purposely crippling 3rd parties.Also tempted although waiting to see what the Sigma can do.

Plus the macro feature of the Sony is really useful for me.
Disappointing it's that heavy considering Sony have managed to make one at just over 1kg, but clearly there'll be a huge price difference.The sigma lens is f2.8 and weights 1330g. Can't use TCs with it either thanks to Sony purposely crippling 3rd parties.

As I commented a few pages back, I prefer to use zooms for versatility where they excel and primes for speed where they excel. Trying combine the two just results in large lenses which doesn't give me the results I want.True enough, the "macro" feature is what interests me most. Just sold a couple of Canon lenses on eBay so I may take the plunge.
Still have my Canon 2.8 and adapter if I need faster I suppose.
For me without TC support 70-200mm is not interesting. I wish Sony didn't cripple 3rd parties like this. Tamron 70-180mm would have been an interesting option otherwise. You'd get a 70-180mm f2.8 and a 100-250mm f4 which is really nice!Disappointing it's that heavy considering Sony have managed to make one at just over 1kg, but clearly there'll be a huge price difference.

So I did some research and thinking about use cases last night and decided on the Viltrox 16mm.I am sold on the viltrox, seems to get amazing reviews. Just waiting to find one on used market or on offer.
But I already have 20-70mm and now have the new 70-200mm f4 on order. So I think viltrox fits better for me versus the tamron.
the one at Park cameras was on the website since Friday. There was one ebay for £400 on Wednesday.So I did some research and thinking about use cases last night and decided on the Viltrox 16mm.
This morning I found a used one on Park Cameras , in as new condition for £420, got myself a drink before I ordered and it had sold already
Found a new one for £450 on AVMPhoto - Authorised Partners Of Viltrox [https://www.avmphoto.com/]
Should be great for our Mexico holiday at the end of the month
Only 400mb/s write speed though.Pergear CF Express type A memory cards have been reduced at Amazon in their Prime sale:
80gb £71.20
260gb £119.20
I believe that's minimum speed though and technically can do up to 800mb/s maximum vs sony equivalents being up to 700mb/s maximum.Only 400mb/s write speed though.
Guaranteed minimum speed, bagged two at 0630 this morning. Don't have a camera though LOL.Only 400mb/s write speed though.
Yep seems to be the same cycle of discounts they always have. I was hoping the 40mm Sony would be reduced again as I fancy trying one on the A7C but they didn't reduce that.Amazon offers are pretty boring these days a couple of quid of memory cards etc.
They seem to always have the Sony 35.85 and adobe offers
I believe that's minimum speed though and technically can do up to 800mb/s maximum vs sony equivalents being up to 700mb/s maximum.
Yep it seems you are correct. To be fair, £120 for a £260GB card is still great value even if you 'only' get 400mb/s.Guaranteed minimum speed, bagged two at 0630 this morning. Don't have a camera though LOL.
The 24-105mm is better, but it's bigger and heavier. The 20-70mm f4 is a great option if funds allow.If you were coming over to Sony with say an A7 111. Is the 24-70 f4 a good starting point or is it worth stretching to the 24-105 f4 ?
Asking for s friend !!!!!

I think the 20-70 might just break the budgetThe 24-105mm is better, but it's bigger and heavier. The 20-70mm f4 is a great option if funds allow.
