Yeap. Screams “premium”

Note the difference... like I already said, the dslr arts.

Some interesting posts

Nothing at the moment, not until the reviews are out at the very least.
I suspect the G Master will still be the better out of the two though.

It will be interesting to see what people think about it in the real world. Comparing a £900 3rd Party lens to a £2000 OEM pro lens will be a good test.

Do we know if these new Sigma FE lenses are production versions? Perhaps Sigma will make them look better with matching neck sections.

1) Look at grey, the D850 is cheaper by around the same amount.

2) Cough wheeze, I nearly choked on my dinner.

Pretty sure they are..... wait till they read everyones comments all over the web, they'll be pleased.

It will be good for the entire Sony FE system, more choice for consumers.
Some would already argue that the 24-70mm GM isn’t worth the price over the Zeiss f4 version, my f4 version was sharp.

Hopefully it will bring Sony down to earth with their lens pricing and increases.

It’s a poor oversight, all the had to do was build them with the same outer casing.

Stop drinking so much or drink more to avoid it.

So when you all buy them, send them to me and Ill gently rub the shine off with my belt sander and some 80 grit.

Tamron have been decent in recent years. This looks like a great option as a fast zoom.

I’m sticking to G Masters

Okay, Ill paint them in a decent colour after Ive sanded that white primer off.

 

[SsSsSsSsSnake]

Why did they copy canon?

Something about off white conducting less heat.

The 2470 GM looks cool in black, the 70200 not so much in white, covered all their bases and couldn't decide.

Wow thats expensive!!!!

.

Sure is. From Panamoz:-
Sony A7R III £2550
24-105mm f4 £1140
16-35mm £879
70-400mm £1395
70-200mm f2.8 £1855

Total £7819 so more than I said before, but that's because I looked at the 24-70mm rather than 24-105mm.

And that's without an 85mm f1.4 and 105mm f2.8 Macro which I also have

Why did they copy canon?

TBH I'm not a fan of the white lenses, look like they should be at NASA

How much would you get for all your kit?

Thats bloody expensive.

Like Snakes hangover, I mean 'headache'?

This done the rounds on social media recently. https://petapixel.com/2016/02/19/canon-lenses-white-instead-black/

I reckon they are white to try and look more pro.

I would hazard a guess at £4k max, that's two systems and way more lenses. So not worth it. I really love my current systems, would just be nice to have one system for everything but I can't afford, and nor would I be willing to pay that much for that kit.

In the scenario that Nikon come out and say “we are moving away from dslr in favour of mirrorless”. And they adapters are crap, what would you do?

Yeah, I read that years ago. My thinking is they wanted to literally stand out from the crowd when they wanted to gain market share.

Why? Are you planning on buying loads more lenses?

Not going to happen anytime soon, lets face it.

Because there’d be a big shift to the mirrorless system and my stuff would no doubt lose a hell of a lot of money. Plus, if they dropped DSLR sooner or later I’d have to ‘upgrade’ my camera.

Sony still makes A mount. Nikon and canon will support F and EF for a very long time or they will go bust, their customers will expect that... F mount won't cease to exist overnight, your stuff will devalue like it always has.
