p.1 #4 · p.1 #4 · Are the 20mm and 28mm F1.8 lenses premium? | |
"premium" is just a buzz word, it means nothing.
if they, or we, defined some specific group of lenses as being 'premium' for some special feature or quality (the 20 and 28 have Nano coating, the others dont, so the 20 and 28 must be 'premiuim', etc), once that feature becomes more widespread as time goes by (either from advancements in technology or manufacturing, etc), then more and more lenses will have that said "special" feature and will hence be 'premium' until some other better feature comes along and then THOSE lenses will need a better status giving moniker to place them above the 'premium' grade which has now become the norm, so they'll be super-premium, then the cycle starts over again, then we get mega-super-premium, ultra-premium, etc. Assigning these special monikers is pointless...
now if these monikers actually told us something, that might actually be helpful, for example, consumer vs professional lenses address things like build quality and useful information that is more timeless (for example, a professional lens (as opposed to a consumer lens) from 20 years ago is still a professional lens on the used market today, but a 'premium' lens from 20 years ago is probably not a """premium""" lens today, whatever that might mean)
so, are the 35/50/85 premium lenses? are the 20/28? who cares...
