The trouble is you'd lose money on the original purchase, would it be worth it?Be nice see a comparison- I really love my Sony 70-200mm f2.8 but seldom have a use for it these days, did think of selling and maybe replace it with something cheaper, without worrying about an expensive lens being in my Peli case and not being used

Ok I'm asking you now lol

Nice images. My wife gives trees names. On the dog walk I'm introduced to Curly Tree, Hello Tree, Helix Tree etc. It's lunacy I tell you, don't do it Lee!I went for a nice stroll in Parkland Walk which runs off the beaten track from Muswell Hill to Ally Pally. Came across an interesting tree which I've named Octopus giving a V sign, and another photo I call Tunnel vision.

Makes no sense.
The value on a used 70-200/GM now and its depreciation is going to be pretty static and linear.
The value of another used lens in the same focal range, say a Tamron 75-180 is also going to be static and linear.
Both will depreciate over time, selling a 70-200/GM will get you enough money to get a new Tamron, or thereabouts, which then you are going to take another hit in used value and depreciation, argubly worst depreciation between the 2.
So..in short, you are getting hit twice with used value and a worse depreciation curve. Unless of course you are suddenly going to to use it because of its size.
p.s. I too have a 70-200/2.8 GM.
Sony 16mm f1.8 rumor - https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/stu...-world-fastest-16mm-f-1-8-ff-gm-lens-in-2021/
that'd be pretty interesting if is small like 20/24mm lenses.
I see - that does make sense- I love the 70-200mm f2.8 it's light enough and I seldom use the 70mm end - I guess I'll just keep it
Thank you Raymond

My 70-200 is on my desk at the moment as paper weight, literally! I don't plan to sell it because I am not in need to liquidate it. The rate it is going, it seems money is going to worth less and material items might worth more with recession and Brexit. I am not sure I can afford to or justified to buy it again if i sell it.
Mine names stiles. Dog stile, broken ankle stile, tall stile, awkward stile, etc.My other half names the woodlands. Spongy Woods. Spooky Woods.....
I cannot argue with that logic Raymond- I am not looking to sell mine- despite the fact it hardly ever gets used, well once on a local Red Bull soap box type race last year - where it performed without fault

More walkabout autumn shots.
A7RIV, samyang 45mm/1.8 (would be even nicer to pair with an A7C one day )
Got the money through from selling my 16-35, now got enough for the A7C. Think next is to get rid of the Sony 24-70 f4 and replace it with the Sigma 24-70 f2.8. Obviously sell my A7R as well.
Just hope I don't regret the drop from 36MP to 24.A man with a plan. Sounds good.

Going to use E-infinity, for both the lens and A7C.It's isn't a huge difference but will be noticeable.
Where are buying yours from?

Buy from their eBay shop you can get it £30 cheaper since there is a 5% offer till tomorrow.
Indeed, my LCE guy said no A7C till November of I order now. I don't grey import generally but it's tempting for sure.Tempted...
Which is there eBay shop? Can't see any 5% off either. I'd it's the A7C I can find it's more expensive than their shop.

Don't get that coupon option on mobile.
I know that you have specified a full frame lens but I use the Sigma 16mm f1.4 apsc on my A9 in APSC mode which makes it a 24mm equivalent lens. It's very light and sharp as well as being comparatively cheap.Hello all,
I am in search for a wide angle full frame sony lens for my A7R II. I have been looking at the Sony 20mm f1.8 and the more pricey 24mm f1.4 G-Master. Is the faster lens of the G-Master wortn the extra money?
Anyone's opinions on their personal experiences with these lenses will be appreciated. Aswell as any other suggestions for a wide angle lens.

It's not really much smaller, its certainly a lot cheaper.I know that you have specified a full frame lens but I use the Sigma 16mm f1.4 apsc on my A9 in APSC mode which makes it a 24mm equivalent lens. It's very light and sharp as well as being comparatively cheap.
You're absolutely right to mention the size but then I didn't include that in its list of attributes.It's not really much smaller, its certainly a lot cheaper.

The 10-18 APS-C is pretty good on FF. In crop mode it’s 15-27 equivalent, but you can use it in FF mode. If you remove the hood it only vignettes up to 12mm, and from a out 17mm.Hello all,
