Sony

Make far away things bigger!  The Sony 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 GM OSS lens is a great all around wildlife or event lens, with a great reach without being too tele at the wide end.  It is a great balance between the 70-200mm and the 200-600mm lenses and offers smooth autofocus and great stabilization.

Widest full frame rectilinear (ie not fisheye) Sony E mount lens on the market?  The Laowa 9mm FF at the time of us posting this, is it.  You can get wider fisheye lenses, but you can’t get anything wider in a full frame lens that keeps straight lines in your corners (to a reasonable degree of course given how insanely wide this is for a FF lens).  Yes it’s f5.6 and they do make an f2.8 but that’s only in Super35mm format.  So if the Sony 12-24mm just isn’t wide enough, this is it.  Also, it’s extremely light and compact for drone use, that’s a bonus.  And yes, it’s manual only, no autofocus.  But that wide everything is going to be in focus anyway, so problem solved, right?  🙂

Wide. Fast. Sharp. Pick two… NO WAIT! Pick all THREE!!! Rent the Sony 12-24mm f2.8 GM lens and you will be getting the widest, fastest, sharpest, full frame E mount lens on the market. At least at the time we’re writing this anyway! The only catch… The Sony 12-24mm f2.8 GM isn’t cheap. But hey, for a few buck more, you are getting the cutting edge of awesome fast, wide, sharp lenses!

Do you need a nice, light and fast all purpose full frame zoom for Sony E mount? The Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens covers a lot of bases, is easy to use and is surprisingly light compared to the 24-70 2.8 offerings from other companies.
