Some images from dpreview:
I keep looking at that second image and playing on a loop in my head is... "Whaaaaat theeeeeee f**************?!?!" And just think, the Sony version will be heavier, still. Throw in the lens hood and he tripod foot and it's 4.5 lbs... Insane...
You might as well just go for an adapted Canon 200/2L.
This thing is going to look like a 200mm f/2 on a Sony body lol The third image has me like..."Whaaaaat theeeeeee f**************?!?!"
That's the Canon version. The E-mount will be an inch longer!
Sigma should have followed Samyang's idea and adapted their Art lens line 3 years ago. At that time, this would have a bigger impact. After all the speculation created by rumors sites, this solution seems a bit late to the game and disappointing to many Sony shooters.
By now, they should have dedicated mirrorless designs! It seems to me, they didn't foresee Sony's full-frame mirrorless success and now found themselves behind the curve in a profitable and exciting market.
I am very much into portraits with fast lenses but this is insane considering there are many other options. The problem with the newer and latest iteration of lenses the size and weight has grown immensely to the point they are unusable. They become speciality lenses and the improvement in IQ and rendering is one of diminishing returns.
