damn, the glass is as pricey as the bodies are. it never stops.

I'm assuming the same terrible mechanics for video as sony's other G lenses?

 

[alohype]

Well... not necessarily! Description says that 85 has aperture ring and MF-AF switch- that may mean that focus by wire will work differently depending on a mode.

$2200 for a 24-70mm f/2.8 with no image stabilization? C'mon.

I can't even imagine what the 70-200mm will cost... 1 miiiiiilion dollars.

Well.... if it's "real" focus... then maybe. But if it's still focus by wire by any other name.... no thanks

I figured the 24-70 2.8 would cost a whole bunch. I'll just stick with my existing 24-70 4.0 ois, works well enough for my primarily video needs.
