New Sony 16-25mm f/2.8 G

Preorders:
USA at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama
EU at FotoErhardt, FotoKoch, Calumet, WexUK, Amazon.

My take on this lens:
It’s a much more interesting lens than the 24-50mm f/2.8 G announced a month ago. This new 16-25mm G lens makes sense because:

  1. First of all it’s almost half the price of the 16-35mm GM.
  2. It’s much lighter and compact (perfect for gimbal shooters, vloggers and travel photographers)
  3. And if you think about it…most of us do own a 24-70mm GM lens and you will not miss the 35mm focal length anyway.

One more news: Today Sony Japan also announced that reorders were much higher than expected:

Orders for the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G “SEL2450G” for digital single-lens camera α [E mount], which we started accepting orders for from Thursday, February 29, 2024, have far exceeded our expectations. , it may take some time for the product to be delivered.
We are currently working hard to respond to customer requests as much as possible, so we appreciate your patience.
