Come on Charlie. That is BS, if you have done the research share it please. If you won't share it, then I think you could at least tell us why, and tell us what research you have done and haven't done. I like to think this is a cooperative place, but If you want to look down on others rather than share what you know, then I think that is pretty crappy, but no one said you had to be helpful to others. I certainly did speculate, but I was always clear where I was speculating and where I was drawing upon know information. You seem to be purposely cryptic, which is totally unhelpful, but again nobody said you have to be helpful even if that is the typical way around here....Show more →
Thanks for the lecture. I guess you won't back up your claim Sony is well within norms for effective or real coverglass thickness on FF DSLRs in wide use by pros today, or just admit you do not have the slightest clue what is the case, and concede that I may well have a serious point here.
Which is this: Roger has shown, and I now realize, the GM 24-70 is world class in performance and build. Fantastic. But useless for me, because it NEEDs the thick cover to hit those highs. It's designed for it. Had they just taken the normal route, which they as sensor suppliers know well, put a nice thin cover on there, then I could pull that 24-70 (now designed for the thin cover) off the r2 and plop a 28 cron right on. Best of both worlds and totally feasible, not to mention a gateway to the free marketing they got on the Nex for it's use of all the old classic lenses for all sorts of mounts. As profitable as the FF Nex, which I predicted to the laughter of many here, aka A7x, has been for Sony, they would be way ahead in the long run, and true to the original marketing as well with a cover like you will find on those big DSLRs.
Now they are stuck, and so are we. It's either or, when both would have been no problem at all.
Sure it's their choice. But when asked about the few lenses they had to start, what was their answer?
