Let Sony know what kind of new E-mount lens is needed….is it time to get weird?

Share


Imagine Sony would make a 50mm f/0,95 lens like this Canon but with autofocus!

No camera manufacturer is perfect, and we often complain about some of Sony’s strange camera strategies. But honestly, when it comes to lenses, Sony is second to none! In recent years almost every lens they’ve released has been a success. They are optically the best in their class and still lighter than the competition.

Just recently Jeremy Gray from Petapixel wrote and article with the title: Sony Has Nearly Every Lens It Needs, Now It’s Time to Get Weird:

It’s exciting to imagine what Sony could do with its optical expertise, in-house camera system, and significant financial resources if it prioritized not filling gaps, but making lenses nobody has ever seen.

I invite all SAR readers to comment on this post with their lens suggestions! I will collect them in a POLL and let the community decide which is the most popular idea. I’m sure Sony will take note of your ideas! I will start this brainstorming with lenses that I divide into three categories: Lenses that the competition has and Sony must have, Lenses that no one has made yet, and CRAZY lens with new technology!

1) Canon and Nikon lenses I want Sony to “copy”:

2) Lenses nobody ever did yet (ordered from wide to tele):

  • Sony 20mm f/1.2 GM
  • Sony 20-150mm f/4.0-6.3 travel zoom lens
  • Sony 50mm f/0,95 GM autofocus(!) lens
  • Sony 70-150mm f/2.0 GM
  • Sony 100-500mm f/4.0 GM

3) Lenses made with completely new tech:

  • Make the first E-mount metalens. It’s a new tech with some limitations. But you can make a couple of few millimeters thick fast prime lens!
  • Lenses designed for an E-mount camera with curved sensor. Those lenses are sharper, have no artifacts and are a about 30% smaller than normal lenses

Your suggestion:

Now you can comment on this post with your lens suggestions. I will collect them for a survey that will be published after Christmas!
