Just announced: New Topaz Photo AI 2.4
According to two trusted sources Sony will soon announce a new 24-70mm f/2.0 lens. No one in the history of photography has ever made such a lens!
The closest lens is the current Canon 28-70mm f/2.0. But having 4 mm more at the wide end makes this lens much more attractive to a variety of photographers. You can shoot landscapes and take beautiful portraits–a real jack-of-all-trades!
From what I have heard, this lens should be about the same size as the Canon, while having a longer focal length. So it should still be “practical” and not too heavy. I have been told that the image quality is superb, and that there is no compromise in getting the 2.0 aperture.
I do not yet have an exact release date or pricing information to share. But I understand that this lens may be announced in the next few months, and my guess is that the price will be around 3000+.
But today’s rumor is good news for multiple reasons:
- This appears to be the first in a new series of super-fast zooms and primes.
- It seems that in general Sony wants to create an exciting “new kind” of product… not only in lenses, but also in cameras!
What else can we expect?
I am starting to get some rumors about the next upcoming superfast lens, the Sony 24-70 mm f/2.0, about which I will soon share some “wild rumors” (meaning they are unconfirmed).
I also got the first hints about the announcement of a major camera(s) coming in the second half of the year. I hope my dream of something “different” will come true….new RX fixed lens camera or some other exciting new camera concept.
Now, let me know in the comment system what you think about this lens, and what kind of super fast lens you hope to get after that one!
