Apparently getting announced this week. Constant 2.8, and looks to be FF, not APSC as I thought.

My thoughts too but that'd overlap their 35-150.. I hope its FF. Some rumors sites say it'll come out for Sony FE and Z mount... and we all know FE is FF, so lets hope

There is no indication of DX and the FX 16-30/2.8 is mentioned as a matching lens.

I suspect it's an FX lens. Will be nice to see what the performance looks like it when it arrives. It likely would make for a nice fast standard zoom for a Z5ii/Z6iii/ZR.
I know some folks really lament giving up 24-35mm (and I don't like giving up wider than 28), but I also really enjoy going a bit more narrow than 70mm.

Ha, good call. But around that size I’d be interested. That focal length works pretty well for me.

Because we as people tend to desire visual imagery/example to go with something we read about, especially when talking about a product like when NR made an AI image of the 120-300 TC

I think the lens makes a lot more sense as an FX lens. If it was 35-100 f/2, then I could see the shorter zoom range being a reasonable concession to keep the size down, but if you are going to make a DX lens I would expect something like a 45-135 f/2.8 or maybe even a 35-150 f/2.8. The short zoom range and the relatively slow aperture of a 35-100 f/2.8 for DX would make a pretty boring offering in my view.

I see this as a good option for events over the much heavier 35-150. It would pair nicely with an ultra wide zoom.

If the IQ is like that of the 35-150, I’d be very happy with this lens.

Is the choice here weight vs. focal length? A lot cheaper than the 35-150?
I dunno it just seems like a ton of overlap for reasons I don't understand.

As usual the difference between 2.8 and 4 won’t make a lick of difference in the real world and the 24-120 stays the default choice.

Yep. I think you’re right on this one. Less range, and I highly doubt the IQ will be on par with 24-120 or their own 35-150
