I ordered from the unknown seller for the cheaper shipping and $50 discount. Guess I won’t be getting the lens until end of June due to 3rd party seller and slower shipping.
Canon has officially announced a pair of new lenses. First is the EF 16-35mm F4L IS USM, an image-stabilised wideangle zoom for full frame SLRs. The IS system offers 4 stops of shake reduction according to CIPA standards, and the lens features a nine-blade circular aperture. There’s also an EF-S 10-18mm F4.5-5.6 IS STM wideangle zoom for APS-C SLRs, which gives a 16-29mm equivalent range. The 10-18mm is smaller, lighter and cheaper than the existing 10-22mm lens, and its stepping motor allows for fast and silent focusing while recording video.
The two lenses will be available next month for $1199 / £1,199.99 and $299 / £299.99, respectively.
Sony offers- oh no new lenses with its latest A-mount release 🙁
Just what i wrote in the SR3 a few minutes ago… There are hopes for Sony Fanboy (including me) but i’m one of them who don’t believe it. Like you said, nothing you under the sun… paper news are nice, but it’s only paper…
You should consider the consumers for both Sony and Canon, Canon is stronger in the market than Sony and has more than double the number of people using Sony cameras, let’s say that Sony releases 2 A-mount lenses per year and Canon did the same.. Sony will sell less than Canon will do because of consumers numbers.
Sony for sure will try to launch lenses and cameras depending on how many are going to be sold or they will fail in Digital camera world like Minolta did.
Plus that mirrorless FF (a7 & a7R) are new comers to the market with no lenses, they must focus on this category to fulfil the need for all important focal lengths and usage.
I’m sure that Sony can make 10 A-mount lenses per year easily but who is going to buy them ? They will make lenses more than the market needs.
Sony already announced a 16-35 f/4 Zeiss OSS a full two weeks before Canon’s announcement and the E-mount 10-18 f/4, a cult classic, is a far superior lens to this new plastic fantastic aimed at the amateur crowd that Canon has brought to us. Do not mistake NEW for superiority.
Also, another point, Canon’s SL1 isn’t aimed at A-mount cameras it is squarely aimed at the mirrorless segment which is why ALL of Canon’s marketing goes on and on and on about how small it is. But, if you want to compare EF-S to A then the A58 destroys the SL1 in capability and image quality at a much lesser price point.
And I’m assuming that all the Canon users dying for their 7DMkII are absolutely THRILLED with the announcement of a White SL1. Yes. Canon is certainly winning the day.
No external mic interface?… I don’t care A6000 is in stock.
