Here is the new Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens (in the center) compared with the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 (left) and Sony 12-24mm f/4.0 G (right). I am impressed by the relatively small size of the Sony!

Many Sony cameras can connect microphones directly through the hot shoe without a separate cable. This is VERY convenient, but only a handful of mics support it, so I reviewed them to find out which mics work best in both quiet and noisy conditions. I also test the on-camera Sony ZV-1 mic.
I never heard before of this Pergear 25mm f/1.8 APS-C E-mount lens you can find on Amazon US, Amazon DE, Amazon UK. And it looks like that this lens is a decent option considered the very low price:

The native Sony lens most comparable to the Pergear is the Sony FE 28mm f/2 … at 6-7x the price. So if you like to experiment or do crazy things with your camera/lens, the Pergear is certainly a good candidate for taking the beating without you starting to sweat about the costs. If you desire perfection, you will have to look elsewhere but that can’t come as a surprise really.

The Pergear 28mm F1.8 (85 euros) is a surprisingly good lens vs the competition ( Meike 25mm F1.8 & 7Artisans 25mm F1.8 – manual lenses)
On a Sony APC camera , the centre is excellent even wide open , and the lens score well on most criteria, the only weakness being its corners , you will need to use F8 for best results in Landscape (the Meike is better for the corners performance)

So far I haven’t found a single reviewer not liking this new lens from. Chapeau Sigma!

Ted Forbes tested the camera features of the new Sony Xperia 1II. Like I said a couple of times…I think that kind f touchscreen interface should be implemented on Alpha cameras too:
