POLL: Based on what we know so far…will you buy the new Sony A1II and 28-70mm f/2.0 GM?
Tomorrow Sony will announce the new Sony A1II and 28-70mm f/2.0 GM lens. On paper, we know exactly what to expect:
The Sony A1II is the Sony A1 wrapped in the new A9III body and with a new AI Chip. That’s about it. While the 28-70mm f/2.0 will beat the Canon 28-70mm by 500g less weight and 10mm narrower size. Based on this early info, I’m curious if you are considering buying anything:
Loading ...I will make another poll tomorrow right after the official announcement, maybe after seeing the real final product specs and features you will change your mind :)
