Both lenses look absolutely identical in the product pictures. Does that mean you get $300 discount just for the same lens but with Hasselblad packaging?
It says white box. Doubt it is brand packaging.
You get the same lens in a better box for less money? That’s a horrible deal! 😉
No one seems to want mediocre 16-70 with soft corners. Even for $699 new they still are available. Lol. What a shame Sony.
Soft corners means that it cannot be digitally corrected, right? It’s not like distortion, is it?
No, it can not.
for a 699$ did u expect a sharp lens from center to corners? One time i saw a comparison test between a leica and sony lenses : the leica had great corner sharpness contrary to Sony lens which had a sharper centre image :D… now just do u best to make ur subject in sharper area 😀
Between SEL1650 and SEL1670z, the second is really better as a lens kit… I tested the both and i like a lot the SEL1670z for its quality and not only because of the longer focal length and the form factor which makes the camera look less like a compact point and shoot camera
Btw Hasselblad price is the usual price for SEL1670z too. Only Sony sites kept 999$ on price tag.
And what about the SEL1855 kit?
for the price or the sharpness ?
Is the SEL1855 lens that comes from the first Sony E mount camera age :D?
Don’t know this one but i was more tempted by 1670z because i expected that the Zeiss lens would be better than a sony branded lens :p
I got it new with SEL16f28 for €150 together – so it’s cheap.
The build quality is better than the 18-55 Canon of Nikon kit and the sharpness is kit-lens like. Probably better than 1650 but I don’t know how it competes vs the 1670Z
Your comment made my day! I just ordered a 16-70 for $659 (Sony without warranty) after a long hesitation (ever since it was released) because of the bad reviews. With this price I finally decided to give it a try. All bad reviews were about soft corners but almost all praised its color, contrast and bokeh, which also make a good high-end lens.
Just got the 16-70. Initial test showed it is way better then the kid 16-50, even at the corners! Did I get a good copy or what?
what about a Zeiss 150-600mm f/5-6.3 sport or contemporary E mount version … to not have to use adapter or get stucked by the 400 mm focal length limit of E mount lenses anymore
How about a 1200mm f/3.1 Holga designed by Walther Bauersfeld?
😀 if it s for astrophoto it s a good idea 😉
Hasselblad-Zeiss
alone the sound of the name is luxury
Yes! Hasselblad is changing their strategy. Since they were laughed at because of their “rebrand and charge more” policy, now they rebrand and charge less. Hasselblad A7R2 will cost $700. And before anyone asks me why would anyone do such thing, well. Because they can.
Lol
It would be a waste of money, if you ask me!
lame lens, should be ~$300
Yeah but I don’t think this one comes with the lens carrying bag.
It mightve been because of the lack of consistency in Sony’s lens line. Some of the 16-70’s were praised very highly. Just hope you get a good copy, and good centers. Unless you’re shooting landscapes and astral skies, who cares about corners?
Did you use the SAR link to buy your lens :D…. Then i will ask an image (used to reward good student at school here:p) to the admin 😀
