Tony Northrup says Sony has probably a near two year “advantage” over the new Nikon and Canon FF mirrorless

Tony and Chelsea Northrup do believe than even if Nikon and Canon new FF mirrorless will be as good as the current A7-A9 line Sony is sill nearly two years ahead of them. The Sony A9 is 18 months old. At the time Canon and Nikon FF mirrorless will be available on the market Sony will be already close to a new Sony A9II launch.

P.S.: And they didn’t take into considertaion the already large Sony FE lens system :)

Sean Tucker: Why I made the Big Switch to Sony

Sean Tucker:

I recently made a total switch in my gear from Canon/Fujifilm to Sony. This video gives my reasoning and why the Sony system is best for my needs as a travelling hybrid shooter. I also give my thoughts on how we should be choosing gear in general, avoiding brand loyalty, gear snobbishness etc, and dispassionately choosing the right tool for the job.

Samyang 24mm FE tested by Marc Alhadeff: “For the price is is a good lens but not as good as the Samyang 35mm FE”

Marc Alhadeff published the full review of the new Samyan 24mm FE lens:

For the price is is a good lens but not as good as the Samyang 35mm F2.8

It could be a nice wide angle complement to the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD  if you can live with its shortcomings

If you have already the Sony FE 24-70 F2.8 GM and were shooting a lot at 24mm , don’t switch to the Samyang to get a lighter version, of same quality , you will be disappointed and you will better wait for a Sony Prime 24mm GM that should be announced in the second half of 2018
