Good Zoom for Sony A7RII ?

<< < (7/7)

ACH DIGITAL:
Yes the Canon 24-70 L and the Nikon 24-70 G are other possibilities. I'm also considering the Sigma 24-35 + some of my normal glass. This could be an option.

Opinions on the 24-70/4 ZA vary, some actually like it. From the tests I have seen it is a no buy for me, but I have a couple of quite decent Minolta/Sony lenses I can use on the A7rII.

Check these reviews on the 24-70/4 ZA:

I guess it could be a reasonable lens. I may also consider the Canon 24-105/4L with the Metabones IV. The Canon 24-70/4 may be another option.

Best regards
Erik

$680.00.  Just a lot pricy this adapter but looks like a killer combo.

i have the CN 24-85mm on A7r. very good lens. just abit big for the A7r. very very good colour and build. it's reasonably sharp throughout. one thing to watch out for is the lens breathing when it focuses. it varies alot when focusing close-up vs infinity. the motor is quite noisy as well. (i have mk1 adaptor from fringer).

Thanks for the info. I'm going to wait on this move. Sooner or later a better alternative would come out.

Sony needs to hurry up with some E-mount f/2.8 zooms that can do justice to the 42MP sensor.

At very least, a 14-24, 24-70 and 70-200, all razor-sharp across the frame, f/2.8 and with good AF performance (that will only get better as the AF performance of bodies improves).

That trio of lenses alone would make E-mount more than a rival to SLRs for a lot of photographic applications - more so than even a great new body.
