This next collaboration is a modern day love story indeed. Modern day in that Maya and I struck up our friendship over Instagram and we haven't met in person. Yet. But I can sense that we are like-minded kindred spirits and I look forward to calling her my friend for reals for reals. And it's a love story simply because I've long been looking (and dreaming and visualising) for yoga wear that appeals to my African soul. Something that can cheer things up when the grey Nordic landscape lays it on a little too thick. Something with the color and celebration for life in a way that's so unique and special to the mother continent (teeny, tiny plug: our Kenya Ashtanga yoga retreat starts oh so soon!) That down to earth swagger. That joy and happiness and art of living. And any chance I get to combine not just the things I feel passionate about, but those which are integral to my identity, feels not only like my duty and purpose, but part of my destiny to share it. With you, yes you, dear reader, the very one who's reading this 🙂
Black Girl Melancholy
Happy Monday morning friends. This is a day late. I was on single-parenting duty all weekend and decided not to stress out with getting the blog out yesterday and enjoy time with Sesam instead. Now the kid is at daycare and I am at Good Life Coffee in Kallio and yes, at this very moment in time, life does feel pretty good. My reward for being patient I suppose 🙂
This past week I had a bit of writer's block and felt this post only begin to come alive at the playground on Saturday evening. I was pulled out of bed at the lonely, early hours on Sunday morning, the witching hour, it seems. 3 am and I was aflame with spirit and energy. I got quiet enough to be led through all that my guide in my dreamscape wished me to write about. It's a long one and touches upon a range of subjects so settle in and, as the indomitable Fela says in Shuffering and Shmiling,"You Africans please listen to me as Africans and you non-Africans, listen to me with open mind…"
I wish to write about black girl melancholy. I wish to talk about the profound sense of homesickness and heartache I feel not so much for a geographic place or home, for I have had many, but for a sense of being rooted in deep soil. I wish to write about how I felt like I did a Vipassana meditation course in the daily routine of life itself. At first I thrashed and resisted and hated my situation. I searched for any kind of distraction away from myself. I searched for a way to escape this emptiness so full, so alarmingly all-encompassing because, after going down the rabbit-hole of my own mental trip, what can be at the bottom of all this discontent? Then, by and by, as my mind began to drop away, release its vice grip on the yesterdays and the tomorrows conjured in the "in a few hours, days, weeks, months, it'll be like this"; in the "I need to be doing something anything else besides this," a deep, gentle peace began to pervade. A moment to moment nowness and I owed to to myself to give it my full attention.
I kept social media and others distractions to a minimum. Social media is the portal to much inspiration and a diversity of voices that's so desperately needed in this one-world, single narrative view portrayed in mainstream media: However, as a regular participant myself, both in consumption and production of social media, I find that simply because of what it is, it distorts life. It cleans up and glamourises and beautifies life in a way that is just not true and while I appreciate the number of folk who're trying to live their social media lives and tell their stories with as much authenticity as possible, by default, social media can never really escape its own distorting self. And so, instead of seeking escape through my phone, I made full eye contact with my single parenting task and single-handedly managed that mofo as best I could. Not perfectly, not even successfully. I ditched the potty-training chart, gold stickers and all, because my kid is not yet about it. I bought some potato chips as a way to bribe my way back into his good graces and guess what? It worked! So, you know not perfect, but fun and good-enough. And if by good enough it meant I had a happy toddler who had Monday morning blues about going back to kindergarten after the nice weekend, then, actually, I really do mean successfully.
And all along, this black girl melancholy had me feeling some kinda way. It's a special kind of longing and heartache, this craving for sisterhood and true, sustaining friendship with other women of color. I'm not saying you can't experience it with other women. You can and I have and I do. I cherish my friendships with my women friends. But right now I'm talking about that alchemical moment when you meet a like-minded woman of color…that this may be a friendship for life kind of meeting. It's rare and so terribly precious. Right now, I'm talking about that forcoloredgirlswhohaveconsideredsuicidewhentherainbowisenuf kinda way. It's that WaitingToExhale… that Nina Simone dish-water-giving-off-no-reflection sorta thing. It's that sense of recognition that hey, here is someone who resembles me, there are more of us than I knew.
Now, I came of age in late-90s America, where, for better or worse (but I would say for better) the concept and the experience of race was thrust upon my wide-eyed, impressionable self. It confused me and frightened me, grappling to terms with my intersectional identity of black and woman and not-fully American in my black- woman-mostly-Bantu African body. But ultimately, there were answers to be found amidst the difficult questions I was living. I found my community and felt my little pocket of Black America welcome me into her Boston Collegiate, Chicago house, Afro-Brazilian capoeira and samba arms. I almost never left, so entrenched was I in that part of my life story, but somehow the world abroad wasn't finished with me yet and I felt the ache, the pull to uproot and understand life elsewhere. Now, close to ten years away from the US and I wonder if I am homesick for those specific places where I felt such a true sense of community? For people and friends that I've fallen out of touch with and who surely have not remained as I remember them ? Or am I longing more abstractly for a certain time in my life, which memory paints in such pleasing, nostalgic watercolours? I cannot say, but what I can say is that this need to be represented in the place in which I live grows more than ever. I actively seek out channels where I can hear my voice and see people who look like me. And while, there are so many quality podcasts and youtube videos and web series created by intelligent, conscious and creative people of color, at the end of the day, they are there, out there, and I am here, here only. Nothing beats a real live community, a face-to-face talk, a live collaboration. Shared lived experiences.
I started to find my homesickness for black America getting bigger rather than smaller after immersing myself in the online community of color creatives. I felt my dissatisfaction with Finland and Europe grow and wished myself away. I still feel myself hovering around other Diaspora stories clamouring to get in. I would say that after the highly visible African American diaspora narratives, the closest ones I can relate to over on this side of the pond are black British narratives. Up to a point thought because I'm not from London or Brixton at the end of the day and the good people there have their own stories to tell. They have their own storytellers weaving tales of marginalisation and gentrification; invisibility and black millennial identity with complete and utter nuance. It's been really informative to steep myself in some Cecile Emeke, Michelle Tiwo, Shola Amoo and Warsan Shire. Or in the photography of the Afropean, out to prove that Europe is more than just a single voice and colour. Or in the music of Dizzy Rascal who, in my opinion is a bit asleep on certain concepts but whatevs, his experience is his alone and I can still vibe with his infectious energy in small doses.
So all this research into more diverse, global diaspora stories was great and all but what was up with this aversion to being in Finland? What was up with not wanting to speak Finnish as I convinced myself that I am not really even that good at it. Why bother? And it's true, my Finnish language has stalled of late since I'm Sesam's appointed god mother of English, but guess whaaat? It's all in the attitude and man, I'll be damned if I didn't put my blood, sweat and grit into attempting a crack at the well-encrypted code of that language in my early Finland years. I cajoled native speakers of Finnish to speak with me and some did, most patiently and graciously, and some didn't, most understandably. I struggled and kicked and screamed and worked hard and gained enough self-confidence to open my mouth from time to time. My Finnish is not fluent and not grammatically correct. Not even close. I don't practice it actively enough since I work and write in English. What's more, I'm not physically in Finland consistently enough to really sink my teeth in linguistically and get my hands dirty. I know, I know, where there's a will there's a way, but you know what, my Finnish is good enough for my simple purposes. I can rattle off a few pleasantries at the playground with other mums and grandmothers. I can follow the plot of a children's TV show with relative success. I can get along in most basic transactions of commerce. It's like, completely basic and totally good enough. It's enough. I can gain an entry point on some level. The tyranny of perfection comes to an end now. I stop apologising for, underestimating and diminishing my linguistic accomplishments. I will take my basic ass, good-enough, scrappy, tatty Finnish by the hand as I hold it in the highest esteem. It represents my best foot forward attempts, hopes and wishes for myself here in this land. I'm going to keep code-switching as a legitimate form of verbal communication, a veritable patois and I'll no longer feel guilty or defeated at needing to use English. My sucky Finnish, I'm proud of you and I love you!
Besides, I'm doing my son a grand favour for life, this gift of bilingualism, and while it comes at a personal cost, a sacrifice, golly, well, I consider this yet another initiation by fire into the embodiment of motherhood. The woman is hibernating and in her place stands a mother. Mothers are the one group where, for better or worse, sacrifice is considered paramount. I find this assumption to be problematic, leaving many women and mothers at risk for wearing a martyr hat that they didn't particularly want or ask for. However, my truth on this is that sacrifice is inherent in most experiences of motherhood. Some sacrifices are more urgent and unrelenting than others, it's true, but the element of sacrifice, I feel, is there, be it through the biological processes of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding, to the more psychological assumptions of sacrifice down to the day-to-day division of time and tasks. This is not to ask for sympathy or invoke any sort of feeling one way or another. It is what it is. That's all. What's more, Nordic and Scandinavian dads are, culturally-speaking, some of the most involved and proactive when it comes to rearing children. What I'm referring to here is the struggle and pull of conflicting choices that many mothers feel themselves needing to make: to work or to stay at home or to try juggling with both? To feel guilty about putting your career first over your family or to suffer career-wise when you decide to put your family first? I feel it's taken for granted as a shared worldview, this assumption that in order to be a good mum, women will and should sacrifice more of themselves for their children and families oftentimes at the expense of other areas of their lives. Cross-cultural and linguistic limitations aside, I do feel that, more often than not, fatherhood and career is encouraged and facilitated in a way that motherhood and career isn't. This often means putting a particular sort of nurturing feminine energy on a pedestal while shunning and even vilifying other types of the feminine mystic that don't fit within the patriarchal ideal of femininity. And this stunted, distorted sense of masculinity and femininity serves only to bind and constrain our inherent humanity.
But now back to being a black girl abroad. I wrote this blog piece in an effort to create my own narrative of blackness and non-Finnishness here in Helsinki itself. Surely, as I watch these groups of children coming and going about their day (specifically referring to that one child of color amongst a group of white Finns) I cannot help but think that it must feel some kind of way, even with native-speaker Finnish and all? Surely I'm not making up some sense of black pride and expression of consciousness raising when I see a trendy and hip guy with an pick in his afro at the metro stop? I've stopped smiling at random black folk in public spaces. Actually, that's not true. I don't think I can ever stop smiling at black folk, especially in such a homogeneous environment like Finland. However, I'm more cautious now and will suss out the situation before jubilantly striking up contact because I did that once and gave out the wrong message: this black dude's girlfriend thought I was making a pass at her guy. I was like, "Na girl, not even. It's a culture thing. Look it up." But old dude wasn't hip to the game either and so I took this as a learning lesson: when in Finland, do as the Finns do, at least most of the time and don't smile at strangers. It makes me feel a little colder but I suppose this is just par for the course in a reserved society that values its private space. I guess black Finns have their unique code of conduct and culture and identity amongst themselves that is both informed by and distinct from the mighty cultural and musical behemoth of black America. On the one hand, I don't miss the annoying cat-calling, sexual harassment on the streets and weird comments like, "Smile girl, you should smile more." I do, however, miss those genuine moments of connection and community that you can so freely and spontaneously witness and participate in, in the US. I miss the impromptu dance circle at a New York subway station, when busy New Yorkers appreciated the street musicians enough to set up a circle and take turns laughing and dancing in the middle before disbanding and continuing on their commute, happier and lighter from the joy of the shared moment. I miss that. I miss that solidarity and shared sense of, "I see you. We're in this together; living and experiencing this black life in this white lens together."
And yet, within the questions often lie the answers, or a partial one at that. Next week, I'll be writing about how I transformed the beauty found in melancholy into something uplifting and creative. I hope you'll join me to find out how!
As always,
Axé Axé … Mami Wata
I have long been a fan of Fela Kuti. I remember being first introduced to him during my quest for self and identity during my heady and exciting but confusing and lonely college days. I remember dancing to his music with my unborn son five months in my womb and I think I owe it to Fela when the little foetus started fluttering and kicking around, keeping me company as I lost myself in Fela's tragic, honest, painful lyrics wrapped in the sweet, sweet sound of his sax and around aaall those intricate layered rhythms. And that beat. Man, that beat. That Afro (heart) Beat.
Fela was the son of a Protestant minister father and a Feminist activist mother (in the anti-colonial movement). Like most respectable Nigerian families of means, he was sent off to London to study medicine and become a doctor like his two older brothers. A rebel from pretty early on, he enrolled in Trinity College of Music instead and, cutting to the chase, essentially pioneered a new genre of music called Afro-Beat.
Fela was baad. After the completed his studies in London, he moved back to Nigeria and set up a commune for himself, his band and musicians, his dancers and singers and called it Kalakuta Republic. He also set up a nightclub, which became known as the Shrine, where he performed his music regularly and officiated traditional Yoruba ceremonies in honour of Nigeria's ancestral practices of worship. He also changed his middle name to Anikulapo (meaning "He who carries death in his pouch", with the interpretation: "I will be the master of my own destiny and will decide when it is time for death to take me"),[8][5] stating that his original middle name of Ransome was a slave name.
He sang in pidgin English so his music could be enjoyed widely over Africa and as his music became more and more popular, his unpopularity with the Nigerian government grew and there were frequent raids at the Kalakuta Republic. In 1977, after the release of his immensely popular album called Zombie, in reference to the Nigerian military, his home was raided by 1,000 soldiers and Fela was severly beaten.
He was a fascinating, deeply charismatic and talented musician. You know what? Better you just read the book…
One last thing though, to mark the one year-anniversary of the raid on Kalakuta Republic , he married, in one fell swoop, 27 women, most of which were his dancers, composers and singers! Anyway, much as I admire Fela's spirit and music, all this was basically a preamble leading to the next topic… Fela's Wives…
I mean, these women were bad bitches. Check these out…
Wowza! I mean, breathtaking, right?!
Dig a little deeper and a little more research led me to Mami Wata…
Mami Wata is a water spirit venerated in West, Central and Southern Africa, as well as the African diaspora in the Americas. She, alongside Fela and Fela's Wives, were the inspiration for my latest photo art project. Whether she be called Ma Ganga in India, Yemanja along the shores of Bahia in Brazil; whether she be the trickster siren which lures sailors to meet their maker with her shape shifting melody or an alluring mermaid with silver-green fins, may the ambiguous, two-spirited energy of water (at times destructive and dangerous; at other times, healing, cleansing and life-sustaining ) be properly worshipped and revered. Om! Axé!
Big ❤ and thanks to…

What a disgrace!
To solve the problems of the economy, Obama decides to ask ... the CEO hog corps. That's vomitous! They are part of the problem. They grind down and fire thousands of common man & woman employees, and then pay themselves millions upon millions for doing just that.
They move plants to Mexico, China, India, etc. and then re-import the products tariff-free. The profits? They leave overseas in tax havens. And then, of course, they pay themselves more and more for gutting the US domestic economy.
They lobby for more immigrant visas, yet use their low pay to hold down wages of US engineers, etc. More students would go into engineering in college IF the pay and job security was better. Yet those very immigrant visas help make pay and job security worse. The "solution" for an engineering shortage makes the problem WORSE. Of course, it makes corporate profits and CEO pay higher.
Big corporate CEOs and the entire executive suite of these corporations are cluster hogs at the trough. They just can't get enough, yet are always doing something to grind down the common man, and lobby for more laws and ways to do it.
Obama wants their help ... huh? For what?
My guess ... for campaign contributions for 2012. And to co-opt them onto his team. Maybe to signal to them he wants what they want. More power for the Ruling Class. Heck, that big tax benefit he proposes to give them 100% deduction for new equipment is anti-worker, but helps the CEOs grab more pay.
They are all part of the problem. These "solutions" to the nation's economic problems, devised in DC and by the Ruling Class, are all subterfuges to give themselves more income & power. Don't trust any "solution" unless it has real input by persons from the outside - outside of DC and the Ruling Class.
Grrr. And of course the media sycophants cheer that passel of hogs as they devise more ways to slurp down everything.
Bought some more municipal bonds yesterday; got about 5.25% yield to maturity on some bonds offered at 92, rated AA. Good deal. We'll keep nibbling ... with patience.
Word of the Day
"Groat" - noun [$10] a T. S. Eliot word
Groat means 1. a silver coin worth four old pence; 2. (archaic) a small sum (don't care a groat).
Groats (noun, plural) means hulled or crushed grain, esp. oats.
Sentence: The meeting of Obama and the CEOs won't produce a groat of help for the common man.

Once, Arianna Murray Lucette believed that she'd met the man she could always rely on. She was wrong. Now she is fleeing for her life, and when her enemies attack a ship bound for her only refuge, she believes that all hope is lost - until she awakens on Scotland's shore to a pair of the most entrancing blue eyes she has ever seen. When Sir Brian MacFingal first spots the sun-streaked beauty on the beach, he mistakes her for dead. Soon, however, he discovers a woman who is more full of life and vitality than he ever dreamed possible. But though he knows he is fit to defend her life - even at the risk of losing his own - can such a raw warrior as he ever be worthy of her love? Contains mature themes.

"This fast-paced addition to the Murray clan chronicles is loaded with action as two people with demons help each other slay them. The strong prose and well-drawn backdrop, along with recurring characters adds just the right touches to more than satisfy Howell's legion of fans." ---RT Book Reviews
"I love Scottish Highlanders"
Well worth the money. Hannah Howell is one of my favorite authors her stories are always interesting. This isn't my favorite book but it is definitely a good one.
"Great series"
I know this is the second to last book in this series so far but really hope they are more to come because the Murray, McFingal, Campbell, Drummond, etc families have grown so much that we can add more upon more upon more stories. Really liked this one, but also wanted to pummel the hero for this stupidity and was horrified to think he was willing to make love to Arianna but let her go to a "man worthy of her". Some men are so damn stupid it's ridiculous. Oh well on to book 19.........
"Love the Highlanders"
I enjoy the Highland books and this book did not disappoint. I had a couple of small issues with the book, however. I felt the author did a little overkill on describing Ariana's marriage. My other issue is with the narrator, Angela Dawe. I try to avoid any book that has her as a narrator. When she is not speaking for one of the characters there just is no inflection in her voice. I have my favorites and she is not one of them.
"Highland Avenger"
I enjoyed listening toy first audio book of Hannah Howell's The Murray's series. I will now start listening from book one on.
I love each and every one of these stories. I can't wait for the next one...thank God there are several more Murray Men! Keep them coming. Angela Dawe is just wonderful with the narration of these stories. Is the next one ready yet?? hahaha

Directors Guild Awards Nominations
by Alex Billington
January 9, 2008
Source: DGA.org
The nominations for the 60th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards have been announced. These are the awards, like the Screen Actors Guild awards, that truly recognize the most phenomenal achievements in directing as chosen by their peers. No one else knows great directing like directors themselves, and hence this is a true list of the best of the best and probably a majority of the films that will end up being nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. If you haven't seen them yet, these are the must see movies of 2007.
Paul Thomas Anderson - There Will Be Blood
Joel and Ethan Coen - No Country for Old Men
Tony Gilroy - Michael Clayton
Sean Penn - Into the Wild
Julian Schnabel - The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
"2008 marks the 60th Anniversary of the DGA Awards," said DGA President Michael Apted. "We are very proud to have today's five nominees join the illustrious list of directors that have been nominated for directorial excellence in feature filmmaking over the past 59 years. What makes this award truly meaningful to directors is the knowledge that only this one is decided by their peers - the men and women who know first-hand the passion, sweat and fear that goes into each production."
The winner will be announced at a reception on January 26th, and we'll be sure to let you know whom they choose. Only six of sixty winners (in DGA history) have gone on to NOT win an Academy Award - a good sign for the nominees and whoever wins.
I have a very good feeling that Joel and Ethan Coen are going to win, although this list points out some of the best movies of the year, courtesy of the director. The only one that sticks out is Sean Penn and I think it's because of his connections with the DGA, not because of his actual directing achievement in Into the Wild. Otherwise, this is a great list of the best of the best of 2007.

Tagged: propulsion, slideshow
Is it possible to add a feature image just for thumbnail lists and not use it and show it as a slideshow in the post ?
You can use Portfolio Items > Add new then set your featured image. You can select one image for each portfolio items. They will be displayed as a list according to the columns you set on your portfolio page.
Or use the the default wordpress gallery which renders a list of thumbnails for images.
Is that solve my pb to not show through slideshow, a thumb image of a post ?
I don't think, or I misunderstood your answer !
Hi Florent,
The only way to do that would be to add in some CSS for the specific page to tell it now to display the featured image on that page. It would have to be done each time you made a post however and isn't a good long term solution.
You could also remove the featured posts from always showing on Blog posts as well. If this is something you are looking to do, let us know.
ok, good answer,
I think I will use a tag or perhaops could I add an option in the select of the slideshow box with "no slideshow" ? and take care of that case in code when writing the slideshow ($avia_config = none) ?
Hi Florent,
Unfortunately that isn't something we can help create as it would take quite a bit of customization. I'll forward the request for a new "no slideshow" option on to Kriesi as a future Feature Request.

Expert Reply:
It sounds like you are not getting 12 volt battery power to the 7-way connector at the rear of your 2006 Ford F-150 Super Crew. If you look at your 7-Way vehicle connector on your truck, the pin at the one oclock position is for the 12 volt battery power. I am including a picture of a 7-Way vehicle connector that will show the pins and their functions.
You will want to test that pin at the one oclock position with a circuit tester like the Quickee Tester, part # 3808, to see if you have power at that pin. Depending on how your 7-Way trailer connector is wired, you might want to also check the center pin, as it could also possibly be wired for the 12 volt battery power.
If you are not getting 12 volt power to your vehicle 7-Way connector, you will need to check to see if there are fuses in the vehicle that might need to be installed or make sure that the wiring to the 7-Way on the vehicle is correct.
If you have access to another vehicle with a 7-Way, I would plug that vehicle into your travel trailer and check to see if everything works correctly. If it does, then you know the problem is in your vehicle. If it does not work correctly, then you will have to inspect the wiring on the travel trailer.
The Tow Ready replacement Ford OEM 7-Way wiring harness, part # 118242 that you have referenced will only work on 1997 to 2003 Ford F-150 Super Crew vehicles that came with a factory 4-Way.
I am including a link to a FAQ page on trailer wiring.

Two-time WSB Team Champions Astana Arlans Kazakhstan were in typically ruthless form on Friday night in Shymkent as they took the first leg of their Quarter-Final with Venezuela Caciques 4-1. Just two points from Saturday night's second leg will now be enough to see the home side through to face British Lionhearts for a place in the Season VI final.
The hosts' new light flyweight sensation Yerzhan Zhomart patiently explored Caciques' Angelino Cordova's weak points in the first round of the opening bout and, as the tie drew on, Cordova was left taking increasingly large risks, which Zhomart exploited in the third leaving the referee to count out the defeated Venezuelan.
Nurbol Kalzhanov had a difficult opponent in Caciques' strong Hector Luis Garcia, and it proved a gripping bantamweight bout as Garcia tried to control the distance and rely on his longer reach. Kalzhanov had a powerful weapon in the form of his right hook, however, and after knocking the Dominican down in the third, the judges' decision never looked in any doubt.
With the Quarter-Final sewn up, a brilliant encounter then unfolded between the hosts' experienced team captain Samat Bashenov and Rio 2016 qualifier Luis Arcon. Bashenov unleashed some powerful combinations in the second round but Arcon responded well, landing some dangerous blows of his own. With the crowd fired up, the Arlans legend stepped on the gas once again, landing a wonderful left-handed uppercut during an in-fighting exchange in the fourth round and eventually taking the exhausting contest by split decision.
Arlans' emerging middleweight talent Abilkhan Amankul had a tough opening against Rio Test Event winner Johan Gonzalez, but showed exactly why he has a bright boxing future as he turned on the style to make it 4-0 to the hosts on the night. The Caciques' Colombian heavyweight veteran Deivis Julio then got the visitors' first point on the board with a determined display against Yerkin Mukhametzhan, giving them a glimmer of hope going in to the second leg on Saturday night.
The Caciques will be able to count on AMBC American Confederation Champion 19-year-old Yoel Finol in Saturday's opening bout, but he will need to be sharp if he is to stop Kazakhstan's new National Flyweight Champion Azamat Issakulov and give his side a chance of victory. Astana Arlans' Zakir Safiullin (60kg) and Venezuela Caciques' Gabriel Maestre (69kg) could also provide the key to their respective teams' Quarter-Final fortunes.

Sony brings big zoom power to FE-mount with 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 lens
Another full-frame lens from Sony's roadmap that hit the market today is a consumer-friendly super zoom. This 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 FE lens features optical image stabilization, a 7-blade circular aperture, five aspherical elements plus one ED element, and is sealed against dust and moisture. The lens will ship this month for around $1000.

Press Release:
Sony Introduces a Variety New Lenses for Acclaimed α E-Mount Camera System
New Models include 4 'FE' Full-Frame Lenses and 4 Lens Converters
SAN DIEGO, Mar. 3, 2015 – Sony Electronics, a worldwide leader in digital imaging, has today announced several new α E-mount lenses and converters, building upon the rapid expansion of their popular mirrorless camera system.
The new introductions are highlighted by 4 new 'FE' full-frame E-mount lenses designed to complement the acclaimed α7 camera lineup. These include a ZEISS® Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA wide angle lens, an FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS lens, an FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS hi-magnification zoom lens and an FE 28mm F2 wide angle prime lens.
In addition, two sets of new ultra-wide and fisheye converters have been announced, one set exclusive for the new full-frame FE 28mm F2 lens and another set for use with existing 16mm (SEL16F28) and 20mm (SEL2028) APS-C E-mount lenses.
"These new high-quality lenses are a great example of the evolution of our α mount camera system," said Neal Manowitz, director of the interchangeable lens camera business at Sony Electronics. "With a rapidly expanding system of over 60 total lenses and a variety of the most unique, innovative camera bodies in market today, we are in a great position to build on our positive momentum and bring the power of Sony α to more customers than ever."
ZEISS® Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA (model SEL35F14Z) Full-frame Wide Angle Lens
This new ZEISS® Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA full-frame wide angle prime showcases legendary ZEISS® optical performance in a compact design.
With a minimum focusing distance of approximately 12 inches, the ZEISS® Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 is the first E-mount lens to feature an exceptionally fast aperture of F1.4. The lens has a 9-bladed circular aperture, which makes it a superior choice for creating smooth bokeh (defocus) during portrait shooting. It also performs extremely well in low-light shooting scenarios or for simple everyday photographs.
The new 35mm prime lens produces stunning corner-to-corner sharpness – even at maximum aperture – thanks to its advanced optical design with 3 aspherical elements including one Sony advanced aspherical element and a 9-bladed circular aperture. It also features ZEISS® T* coating that suppresses flare and ghosting for natural color reproduction and excellent contrast.
Additionally, the lens has a Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) system that enables whisper-quiet precision focusing, even at the shallowest depth of field. A dedicated aperture ring can be set for smooth, continuous operation – ideal for movie-makers – or with click-stops to provide tactile feedback when shooting still images. The ZEISS® Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 is also dust and moisture resistant design for reliable operation when shooting outdoors.
FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS (model SEL90M28G) Medium Telephoto Macro
Designed to produce crisp, high-impact close-ups and portraits, the new FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS lens delivers an impressive blend of clarity, detail and smooth background
The first mid-telephoto macro lens for the α E-mount line, the FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS features built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization, allowing for pin-sharp images at up to 1:1 magnification, even when shooting handheld. The smooth, quiet Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) mechanism drives two 'floating' focus groups independently, ensuring extremely precise focus positioning that's crucial for macro photography.
The new macro lens maintains the same overall length at all focal distances – very helpful for macro shooting – and has a focus hold button and sliding focus ring that can instantly switch between manual and auto focus1. It is also dust and moisture resistant.
FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS (model SEL24240) Full-frame Zoom
Sony's new "all-in-one" FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS 10x zoom lens is an ideal travel partner handling everything from landscapes and everyday portraits to sports and action scenes with ease. Its huge 24-240mm range (10x zoom) makes this full-frame high magnification zoom is an ideal travel partner, covering focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto without the need to carry extra lenses.
The advanced design includes five aspherical elements and one ED glass element, contributing to the lens' excellent optical performance in a compact design. It features an advanced linear motor that drives the focusing mechanism for quick, smooth response throughout the extensive zoom range, as well as built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) stabilization and dust and moisture resistance.
FE 28mm F2 (model SEL28F20) Full-frame Wide Angle Prime
An ideal lens to supplement any photographer's basic kit, the new full-frame FE 28mm F2 wide angle prime features a bright F2.0 maximum aperture that's ideal for landscape, low-light handheld shooting and much more.
The light, compact design of the lens is an ideal match for Sony's α7 series full-frame camera bodies, with a high-grade aluminum finish adding instant visual appeal. The FE 28mm F2 has a 9-blade circular aperture, three aspherical lens elements – including one advanced aspherical element – and two ED glass elements that work together to ensure excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and excellent bokeh. All lens surfaces are multi-coated to suppress flare and
ghosting with backlit shots. The inner focus mechanism of this wide angle prime is driven by an advanced linear actuator, allowing for whisper-quiet AF. Like the new FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS macro lens, overall lens length will remain constant during focusing.
SEL075UWC Ultra-wide Converter and SEL057FEC Fisheye Converter
For even wider perspectives, the full-frame FE 28mm F2 wide angle prime lens can be combined with either the SEL075UWC Ultra-wide Converter or SEL057FEC Fisheye Converter to respectively increase angle of view to 21mm or 16mm fisheye with full 180° coverage2. Maximum aperture of each converter when mounted on the FE 28mm F2 is F2.8 and F3.5 respectively. In a first for α lens converters, corresponding EXIF data for each adapter is generated when they are attached to the lens.
VCL-ECU2 Ultra-Wide and VCL-ECF2 Fisheye APS-C converters
Sony has also introduced new wide angle converters for E-mount APS-C camera bodies. The new VCL-ECU2 converter is compatible with the E 16mm F2.8 (SEL16F28) and E 20mm F2.8 (SEL20F28) wide angle APS-C lenses, boosting ultra-wide angle performance to 12 mm (with E 16mm F2.8) or 16 mm (E 20mm F2.8). The VCL-ECF2 Fisheye Converter creates exaggerated perspective effects for both lenses with full 180° coverage. Each converter sports a smart new black finish.
Software Update
In addition to the new lenses and converters, Sony has today released a software update for select FE full-frame E-mount lenses including SEL35F28Z, SEL2470Z, SEL55F18Z, SEL70200G and SEL2870 to shorten start up time when mounted on α E-mount camera bodies. An additional software release for lens performance will be available in late March – please check the details at the Sony e-support site (www.esupport.sony.com) for more information.

Discuss in the forums
Now.. This move of Sony is interesting.. They don't announce any f2.8 zooms this year. Is it because they just announced the f 4 zooms? With the a7s / a7II video capability, surely you would think that they will try to grab that market fast.
Or are they already feels secure with having the e-mount users adapt other manufacturers' lenses?
Sony should be getting out of the lens business fast -- they are simply awful at it. Stick with what you know -- making cameras. Leave the lens business to the companies who make lenses for a living.
This all-in-one travel zoom might be a reasonably easy sell at $300 -- but an impossible sell at around the indicated USD $1,000 price point.
They messed it up badly with the entry-level 7-blade aperture, the lack of witness markings on the barrels, and particularly the darker than the Black Hole of Calcutta iris specs. F3.5 at 24mm???? Going all the way down to F6.3?
Has Sony gone raving mad, finally? Apparently. This thing is totally useless for videography, and a bit large and cumbersome as an easy to cart about travel companion. So, who is it made for exactly?
@Francis Carver: The price is indeed too high. However, you will not find a full-frame superzoom lens for $300 (new). If you know a similar first party FULL FRAME autofocus zoom lens that is near a 10x zoom for that $300 price, please reply with it. Failing that, we will know you are asking Sony to provide something that nobody else even provides. I think that $600-700 is reasonable.
Also, for long zoom lenses, f/3.5-f/6.3 is absolutely normal. This lens doesn't stand out, but it is no worse than the norm. APS-C kit lenses are f/3.5-f/5.6 usually, and longer zooms go down to f/6.3. That's the way it is. Sorry. Do you want a 24-240mm f/2.8 constant? Please list any maker who has such a lens. I'll be waiting.
Finally, do you realize that those autofocus "Zeiss" lenses exclusively for Sony are actually made by Sony but just have the Zeiss name on them? Maybe you should do research before you make claims that are false and ask for things that no other company even provides.
@Francis Carver; Unless, of course, they have Minolta lens Division with all the experience, and they have thousands of e-mount or NEX mount camera users who are waiting for new, high quality lenses.
Like @Charrick said, please do some price comparison with other manufacturer lenses. Oh, and don't forget the keyword, Full Frame. I believe that Sony is giving this price already thinking that it will go down 100-200 USD anyways as time goes by.
@Francis Carver, I think this lens is a bit on the slow side even considering what it is. Most others are in the 28-300 range with the same f/range. Nikon's 28-300 is f/3.5-5.6.
But, I think I'd rather have the 24 on the wide side than 300 on the long side, so perhaps Sony's concept is the better approach.
That said, I'd personally never ever own a 10x ratio lens for all the reasons I and others have stated with regards to compromises in the optical formulas required for such a range. Not for travel, not for home and not even for snapshots. Let those who are not really that serious about photography make this purchase. ;-)
If you wanted something specific to video needs, I think something along the lines of a 24-140 f/4 might be a good choice, but it'd probably be quite a bit more expensive, would be my guess for a 6x continuous aperture without so many optical compromises.
a7M2+This lens +16-35 and 55 this is what im need .
I think "Travel Lens" really is a contradiction. For many, they travel on holiday or vacation and that's the time they might use their camera the most and the time where they may see things most worth photographing. Why on earth would those folks then choose to trade off IQ for convenience? I would think a good travel lens would be the very best optics you can afford, not some super ratio zoom, unless photography is not that serious.
I think people use travel as an excuse to buy such a lens because they might should have purchased a bridge or super zoom compact in the first place. All zoom lenses compromise optics to a degree, but the better 2x and 3x models begin to rival prime lenses. A 10x lens just increases those optical compromises too much, IMO.
There are lots of types of travel. I used to always use an 18-200 and 35/1.8 when I was on business trips. One lens for daytime, another for night - no frequent swapping. A superzoom is good when you don't actually know what you're going to do once you step out of the hotel door, but know you want to take some photos.
However, I suspect the majority of buyers may have this as their only lens.
As far as swapping goes, isn't that why we purchase an interchangeable lens camera? We want to match the focal length to the type of subject at hand. This is not meant to denigrate a zoom, but just an extreme ratio zoom.
For example, when traveling and not knowing what I might need when walking around town while on holiday, I might carry a 28mm prime in my pocket and an 85mm on the camera. Easy to swap when needed. I also sometimes use a belt pouch. Sometimes, I'll carry a 16-35 f/4 and a 150 f/2.8. One on the camera and one in the pouch. Any of these have far better IQ than some Tamron 18-270, as an example. Of course, I have to do my part, but it's worth it to start with high quality options.
As I mentioned, traveling is no excuse to put up with optical compromises. In fact, the opposite should be true. Travel with the best optics. Save the poor glass for the kid's birthday parties where you're just recording events in a point and shoot style close to home. :-)
My dad, who shot from way before I was born, swore by superzooms. I think they caught his attention in the last days of the SLR, and continued into DSLR because he was mostly buying the DSLR for the (near) film-sized sensor rather than what lens he was putting on it. I started that way with my first system camera too, before quickly figuring out this was not the freedom I needed. But I think a whole lot more of the market thinks like my dad than they think like you or I. Hence lenses like these.
As for travel, when you travel a dozen times a year for 3-4 day business trips where you're going to have half a day or a couple evenings of free time, the last thing on your mind is trying to predict what you're going to shoot when packing, and you'd usually want to pack light. Covering all bases seems to be a perfectly decent strategy and it's worked great for me.
I get the super zoom to some extent. In my earlier days I'd pack multiple bodies and lenses for every trip and make photography the central component of my trip. Now that I am married with several small children, I can appreciate the use for a smaller setup that trades some ultimate IQ for portability and convenience. Nobody wants to wait for dad to stop and change lenses for the tenth time that morning and I certaintly don't want to be hauling a big camera bag around in addition to everything else I now bring with me. So now my Nikon FX gear generally stays home on family trips (though gets far more use than anythingn in my stable overall) and either a Sony Nex or RX100 comes with me. I've got to say that I really don't miss the weight and hassle of a big setup. Were I still 28 and traveling alone I'd still probably bring more gear.
I completely understand a small light weight kit when out with the kids and such. You're not looking for ultimate IQ but acceptable IQ to record the occasion. Putting a large super ratio zoom on your large DSLR doesn't really help make a small light kit. Also, I don't really believe swapping between a couple of little primes takes any time at all and would hinder the trip, but I do understand small.
When I take the grandkids to the zoo, Disney, Gatorland or some other event, I often only carry my Canon G1X. It's a great little camera with a 1.5 inch sensor and does a wonderful job for those situations. A Nikon 1 or Sony RX100 would also be perfect for those times and my use. Until it was stolen, my Canon S95 fit in my shirt pocket and took great images when I pointed it in the right direction. Even my iPhone isn't too bad, well sort of. ;-)
It's only the DSLR or like type cameras with the large super ratio zooms which make little sense to me. :-)
@Guidenet; Please define 'very best quality'. All f 3.5 - 5.6/6.3 lenses are lenses made for daylight, where you will spend a lot of your time in travel. At such times, you will get superb image quality, ISO can go down to ISO 100 and shutter speed to 1/250 even, even at f 6 or 8.
For tricky situations, you can bring 1 or 2 prime lenses with you, a 35 and/or a 85 f 1.8, and you have faster options then f2.8 zooms.
You can opt for f2.8 zooms from other camera systems, of course, that will give you the price range of +/- 3,750 USD (Nikon) or +/- 4,100 USD (Canon), for 2 lenses, covering 24-70 and 70-200. Either will be bulky and heavy, I would like to see you have a 2 weeks of travel with those lenses.
Yes, you can opt for the new Canon or Nikon 24-120/ 105 f 4, all are costlier (unless of course you opt for the old or used ones), with half the reach and, f 4.
So, forgive me, but I'm confused with 'the very best quality' statement.
I'm not really sure I understand how the optics are made, but I get the impression that good resolution lens = heavy (zeiss, sigma) ..
so if one wants to get good image quality/high resolution from a lens (better than nikon 50 1.4 or 1.8) , wouldn't it be possible to limit the maximum aperture of a "high resolution" lens to 2.8 ?? This way you could have a lens that weight same as a "lightweight 50", but have notoriously better resolution (for increasingly demanding sensors) ?
Doesn't the lens become a bit lighter when we sacrifice the need for it to be "wide aperture", and in turn become "heavier" when we demand it to have better image quality, and the two cancel each other out? Same weight, 2 stops slower, better image quality due to better optical design?.
"I guess there is little market for f/2.8 lenses..."
I guess Sony must have figured it this way as well -- thus the horrid F3.5-6.3 aperture range with this latest limp dark horse of theirs. Why doesn't Sony just leave making glasses to companies who can actually make good quality and usable optics?
@ 780g, you can hit the mugger in the head with it and actually kill him.
Just do it lens first.
Just adding a pro. ; )
This would definitely be my dream travel lens.
As long as your dreams all happen only during the daylight hours, preferably on sunny days.
You just so want to believe; but no,
here we have another heavy (780g) lens with no tripod thread.
All meant to go on a 365g body.
Unbelievably, a Handshake is lighter than this one.
When I read this, I automatically was looking for the punchline... but no. You're serious that you want a tripod mount for a rig that weighs in at a bit more than a kilo.
Good thing you didn't shoot when film was the standard, lol. My old F4 with drive weighed at least 30% more *without lens*.
For the record, this is supposed to be a travel lens. If you're not supporting the weight of *any* zoom lens with your left hand - palm up - you're probably doing it wrong. That said, should you choose to use a tripod, this lens is no where near heavy enough to cause issue to the A7 mount.
No, I'ld rather be adjusting the CPL, or the aperture,
or focussing, or any of that other photo stuff,
rather than holding up a lens
As for the long time viability of the A7 mount;
I'ld rather not risk it.
Sony had something worrying them when they
incorporated them into their LA- adapters.
As for doing it wrong, I'll refer you to the principle of moments
and continue to hold it as far out as I can.
Thumbs up for Sony. They've been doing good job over the last two years. Looks like E-mount is a good way to go alongside the ultra lightweight and portable MFT. I think Canikon will lose some market share.
I agree. But I don't have Sony cameras or lenses yet. Only a Phone.
I am waiting to see a new camera then I decide to move or not.
yes, full frame, with flash, onboard antishake and a6000 style instead of fake pentaprism style would be as much as any one could ask for, unless the gods were really smiling and made it 50mp.
With such a wide focal range, don't expect this lens to be very sharp. According to dxomark, the only half decent FE mount zoom available is the 70-200 f/4. It resolves a whopping 23 perceivable pixels when mounted to a 36mp A7R. Sony's Zeiss 24-70 f/4 OSS high end general purpose zoom only resolves 15/36 pixels. This one will likely receive a score of about 9 or 10. To put this in perspective, Canon's best general purpose zooms, the 24-70 and 70-200 f/2.8 mk ii's resolve 18mp and 21mp out of a 22 mp sensor respectively. The $2000 Canon 28-300 resolves 13mp/22 and the cheaper Tamron 28-300 resolves 10/22. I've said it many times before that I think putting these large zooms on a small mirrorless camera defeats the whole purpose of mirrorless. The Tamron zoom weighs 555g and is almost an inch shorter in length than this new lens which kills the advantage of mirrorless. That said, props to Sony for at least pushing out more lens options and being an innovator.
When comparing my girlfriend's A5000 to my NEX-6 (I have 16mp she has 20) using the kit zoom that DxO probably says can only resolve about 8mp - I can crop noticeably more into her pictures than mine. It simply has to be resolving more detail than the DxO score (at least subjectively) to be pulling more detail on a 16+ sensor.
Go figure, DxO scores are interesting but...
Regarding putting a lens that big on a small camera - I'd say the majority of A7 owners bought it to get the cheapest full frame system, along with features like a good EVF etc. Anyone who really cared about size bought the wrong system to begin with.
What I don't like about DXOmark is their insistence on dumbing everything down to one number. All the data is there for viewing, but most people will just look at this one number and make a judgement based on that. One number tells you very little about a lens. e.g. "Perceptual MP" tells you nothing about evenness across the frame or wide open aperture performance.
@bmwzimmer: I think anyone expecting a lens of this immense range to be as sharp as a prime or short-range zoom does not know much about optics in the first place. In other words, it goes without saying. However, a somewhat less sharp picture is better than no picture when something happens and you are fumbling to get the right lens in your bag. Also, a moderately less sharp picture is better than a picture with lots of dots from dust due to having to expose your sensor when changing lenses so much. Of course those wanting to get the sharpest image possible at the widest aperture possible will look to a prime lens. But imagine you are going on a day trip and are not shooting portraits and don't want to carry multiple lenses. In that case, this is perfect. Your last sentence is probably the most important. Sony has put out many other lenses, and this one is just yet another choice we have...for those who think that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
This particular compromised lens, particularly for video shooting in mind as well, is strictly a daytime usability lens. Use it outdoors, after the Sun is up -- but before it sets, and you should be fine, just fine.
I'm disappointed the 24-240 isn't a power zoom lens. This reduces its versatility as a video lens.
The price is normal for a 10x or so zoom range name brand full frame lens. Remember, full frame has about 1 1/3 stops advantage meaning this lens should cost significantly more than a 10x APS-C zoom, and even more than a m4/3 superzoom. Nikkor 28-300mm is about the same, but this is the first 10x I have seen which goes to 24mm on full frame (I imagine thanks to heavy software corrections). Who knows, maybe it will perform better than the ZEISS 24-70mm, it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it does as well (the bar is pretty low).
Would an FE mount work on a Sony A6000? I'm interested in the new 24-240 if it had better quality than the Sony e-mounts offered for my camera so far.
Both E and FE lenses use the same E-mount. FE just means that it's a Full frame lens. All E and FE lenses are compatible with all APS-C and FF E-mount bodies.
The only thing you have to be aware of is that the crop factor of the smaller a6000 sensor will make a 36-360mm eqv lens out of this. So it's not capable of wide angle anymore and defeats the purpose of a travel zoom in my opinion.
If I were you I'd go with the E 18-200 LE Sony.
That said, 36-360 sounds a lot more useful than my E 55-210 (although that lens is dirt cheap). As a zoom that has a useful wide - 36-60 is still useful walkaround I can see this lens being useful on APS-C. That said, I'd only put it on an A6000 if I already had it for an A7, I wouldnt buy it FOR an A6000.
Will Sony EVER have a 300+mm for their NEX line?
Exactly. Something like 450mm equivalent, or longer. Sony has been really avoiding that territory (esp. with smaller lenses tailored to APS-C), for whatever reason.
Not worried about zoom, would just like a decent long telephoto lens that keeps up with their AF tech.
I have the Panasonic lens. Well if you compare 600/11 lenses vs 600/5.6 lenses, it's unsurprising that a 600/5.6 is bigger. I shoot GH3 with that lens, if you think the MFT 300mm lenses can match FF 600mm lenses in range of light conditions you can shoot in or sharpness for that matter, you are kidding yourself.
Of course ... notice that I did say "as long as you have the light." Anyway I'm not interested in how much reach I can get with unlimited weight and budget, I'm interested in how much reach I can fit in the top compartment of a daypack. I suspect that was the motivation of grasscatcher's comment.
Yes, I was looking for reach in a portable package. I like the idea of Sony's fast hybrid AF on newer APS-Cs (A6000) and was hoping that they could implement that into a telephoto package as well.
In the meantime, I have gone with Panny's FZ1000. It seems to be the only reasonably-sized package that can shoot fast beyond 400mm, and still have decent IQ. The DFD AF should outperform (with regard to lock-on speed of still subjects) any other AF system at 400mm this side of $4k. :)
Perfect! Can't wait to buy this one. Just what I was waiting for.
I just love my A7 and Sony I love you... and yes! I'm really a 100% fan boy. Who can be anything else at this moment in time. Love it! :-)
Sony is just making so many fantastic products. And are truly the leader in innovation and future thinking. After years teaming up with Canon I'm now in love with my A7 the 4 of my Sony cameras (RX-100, NEX-6, A6000 and A7).
What a ride the last 4 years has been. Keep it coming Sony! I'm yours 100% ;-)
@enenzo: I have also become a fan of Sony cameras! They are really innovating, and they have been for quite a while now. DSLRs (DSLTs) with good quality electronic viewfinders (which I prefer) and phase detection autofocus with live view always on, APS-C and then full-frame sized sensors in mirrorless cameras, a one-inch sensor compact camera (which was revolutionary a few years ago), and now in-body image-stabilization (IBIS) in the A7II. That is a lot! Sony wins my award for best innovators in photography. (Panasonic wins it for video, but I'm more into still photography than video at this point.)
@ enenzxo: you do know, don't you, that Sony as a company is doing so exceedingly well -- they are now struggling to stay afloat? And that they are dumping their camera business from the mother ship and turning it into sidekick business? Okay then, just checking.
@enenzo: Yeah, Man, I sure as heck hate you. You got it, Bro'!
Nice, Sony's filling out their FE line. Too bad this one is so expensive, $1000 for a consumer speed super zoom? Hopefully it's sharp as a tack....
Well, at least it is not a constant F6.7 or something like that.
"Sony brings big zoom power to FE-mount with 24-240mm F3.5-5.6 lens"
No, the lens is 24-240mm F3.5-6.3.
Ugh, thanks for catching that. Too used to typing 5.6!
"6.3 is a joke." More like a weeping matter, you mean?
Really? If that lens has a good optical quality the price would be a bargain.
This lens is fully equivalent to a M43 12-120mm f/1.75-3.15. Now compare it to more than 3 times slower Olympus 14-140mm f/4-5.6 which is sold for $600.
Or look at APS-C. This lens is equivalent to 16-160mm f/2.3-4.2. Compare it to a more limited and much slower Fujifilm 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6, which cost $900.
God equivalence simpletons are tiresome. It is NOT fully equivalent to an M43 12-120mm f/1.75-3.15 - it is ONLY equivalent to such a lens in terms of DoF. F-numbers have the same light intensity across all platforms, so in the most critical sense, it is ONLY equivalent to an M43 12-120mm with the same F-numbers.
I would ask flat-earthers and equally dim individuals restrain from embarrassing themselves posting such comments. It's always a good idea to educate yourself before exposing your ignorance to the world.
I agree with Juck, and we need to wait for the reviews, but surely the closest comparison would be the (also) weather sealed, OIS, Tamron 28-300mm? Much cheaper and much lighter and pretty good reviews. In fact a 6D+28-300mm is pretty much the same weight as a A7+24-240mm.
Forpetessake: Ljmac is correct. Reason? Physics.
The formulae for determining light-gathering capabilities of a lens says that, all things being equal between sensor technologies (which I know isn't a given, but, for the sake of this argument, it doesn't matter), if two lenses for two different formats have the same FoV, ISO setting, and shutter speed in camera, they will require the same aperture to get the same exposure.
The ONLY thing that changes is DoF.
I've owned/used multiple formats. I have used a light meter. No light meter asks, "What format are you using?" because that's not how physics works. Equivalence is a bull$#!t argument, and it needs to stop.
Further articles:
@whyamihere. DOF is NOT the only thing changing. Use f5.6 on m43 and FF and you will realise that in addition S/N-ratio changes, as you gather the same light intensity/unit square but expose a four times larger area. S/N ratio scales with the \sqrt{signal}. As long as people don't indeed understand physics, the things needs to be repeated over and over again. It is useful for comparison.
I am definitly not an expert but wouldn't we catch more rain water through larger roof hole than through small roof hole? The area of the bucket should not matter if we have a funnel shaped piping in place that prevents spills and directs that rain to the bucket. Isn't lens through set of glass eleemnts creating such piping? If focal lengths of two lenses are equivalent are not their aperture sizes equivalent?
shoevarek: Sarcasm aside, F-number is the ratio of the aperture diameter and the (physical) focal length. So if I have two lenses with the same F-number and the same field of view on different formats, they have the same equivalent focal length. But the physical focal lengths are determined by the crop factors. As follows, the aperture sizes are not the same, but are related by the ratio of the crop factors.
@kolyy: you are absolutely correct when you say "F-number is the ratio of the aperture diameter and the (physical) focal length". It is correct if you only look at the lens. But if you factor-in the sensor-lens as a system, also borrow your word, when it's raining the important things to how much water the roof can absorb are the intensity of the rain and the type of material used for the roof. Since the FX size sensor can collect more light due to its bigger cell size comparing to the smaller sized sensors, it will absorb "more water". In that sense, it is not fare when you compare a lens mounted on the different sized camera. Someone mentioned 0.5-stops above, may be that is a good start point? I am definitely not an expert on this. I hope someone can put it together for us. Again, your F-number definition is correct.
Cheers, - Josh
Forpetessake: I defy you to prove a single thing I said wrong - I chose my words very carefully, unlike you when you said your hypothetical M43 lens was *fully* equivalent to this lens. For a FULLY equivalent exposure between both systems, you also need to quadruple the ISO on FF, in which case you've completely lost your noise advantage. That's TRUE equivalence - equivalence simpletons like you only take one part of the equation.
Who is going to pay $1000 for a superzoom?
Well being that Nikons DX (ie APSC) NIKKOR
18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens costs the same and sells a lot for them....I can see a market for it. Plus have you seen the cost of the cannon 28-300mm FF lens? It is $2,500 - and I am not claiming this Sony is in the same league....but remember how often Sony discounts lenses after the suggested retail price or offers bundles.
Again I have no horse in the race - I own something from all the manufactures. Just putting this into perspective.
> Who is going to pay $1000 for a superzoom?
I have Tamron 28-300 for my Canon 5D MkII (the bulk/weigh of Canon 28-300 kind of defeats the purpose of having a walkaround zoom) and Sony 18-200 for my a6000.
If I ever get a7(?), this 24-240 will be the first lens I buy for it.
well, I like to travel by bike, and this superzoom will be the holy grail for me. I don't mind $1000 if I am using a full frame camera
