showing $748 for preorders at bnh
.
I maybe interested.. this plus a 85 1.8.. completes my sony kit
will probably end up getting rid of the 28/2 and the 55/1.8
.. but .. its so close to the 28/2 it better be amazing IQ wise for the price difference
For the price........ I’ve got different priorities. The 17-28 f2.8 packs better value. ~140g heavier is my biggest concern.
With all the lenses available, it’s in a tough spot. I have so many shots from my 28 that it’s becoming my “normal” lens and at the same time, i’ll Waffle back and forth between 28, 35, 50 over time. When I can’t decide, 28-75 does a hell of a job.
For video, 28 is essentially 35 when you factor in the cropping, and 35 becomes a tad too tight.....
It’s going to be tough for me to get this lens at this point in time, too many nice lenses.
E-mount is getting a bit saturated at this point, just needs fast and light f1.4’s across the board. 35 f1.4 mainly, Samyang 50 f1.4 and 85 f1.4 are viable alternatives IMO, however, would love a better brand, as SY is not my first choice for various reasons. 20mm f2/1.4, 24mm f2, and 28mm f1.4 should be next with lenses, along with big glass here and there.
