Looking at that 24-70 mounted on the A7, it looks like a regular 24-70 with a built in adapter tube. It makes me wonder @ hmmm ... since the area for the projected image to cover is the same on mirrorless or SLR, how much diff is there in the lens size weight for the Sony vs. Canon 24-70/2.8
According to the specs @ B&H, the Sony is 200g heavier, 2mm shorter and 5mm slimmer ... so much for the concept of a significant size & weight advantage because we\'ve removed the mirror (at least with this lens). +1 @ likely better build, but still if your reason for getting juiced @ FF mirrorless is size/weight ... just something to be aware of.
Umm, how about comparing the FE 24-70/4 IS with the FE 24-70/4 instead?
FE 24-70/4: 426 grams, 95x73 mm, 67 mm filter, $1198
EF 24-70/4: 600 grams, 93x83 mm, 77 mm filter, $1499
Yes, the Canon has IS, but remember that it also sits 26 mm further away from the sensor, making it even bigger on the camera. Don\'t know why anyone would mount a f/2.8 zoom on such a tiny camera.
