Sony E-mount owners still lack the possibility to buy some f/2.8 zoom. Sony managers stated months ago that they acknowledge they have to “do something” in that regard. Well, there may be a chance that Sony goes to “wow” us with a crazy lens: The Japanese site Egami found a brand new Sony patent describing what would be the world’s fastest Full Frame zoom yet…a new 28-70mm f/2.0 FE zoom!
Of course this is only a patent yet and we may never see such a lens in a real store. But the fact they patented it means engineers seriously are considering to make it. Here are the patent details:
- Patent Publication No. 2016-14841
- Published 2016.1.28
- Filing date 2014.7.3
- Example 1
- Focal length f = 28.84 45.32 66.50mm
- Fno. 2.06
- Half angle of view ? = 36.87 25.52 18.02 °
Damn would it be cool to have such a lens! But it probably would weight and cost a lot too :)
