Re: Does Nikon have answer to Sony’s extreme aspherical element?
Good point about the Z 24-70 f2.8 ii. Although I wonder if the advantage of the aspherical element lies in larger glass elements, since I would expect the smaller size glass is universally easier to make by any manufacturers

Inspired by this post, https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1915421/1, it seems like some folks suggest Sony’s extreme aspherical element is the reason why Sony is able to make such lightweight lenses - I’m thinking of the 300 GM. Is this true? Does Nikon have any similar technology (disregarding PF)?
Just compare the new Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 mk II to the new Sony 24-70mm f2.8 mk II... the Nikon is lighter despite featuring an intrinsically bulkier fixed zoom design essential for video work and has 14 elements only vs 20 on this Sony.
