After yesterday\u2019s post I thought I\u2019d add a short follow-up addressing the gaps in the e-mount system that I personally care about.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t a definitive list and feel free to add your two cents.<\/p>\n
First off, I think the biggest gap from a professional perspective are the holes in the lens catalog.\u00a0 These are the telephoto lenses.\u00a0 A 600mm f\\4 is probably the biggest hole.\u00a0 After that I guess the telephoto zooms like a 200 \u2013 600 f\\4.5 \u2013 5.6 would be good.\u00a0 After that a very bright high-quality art lens like a 50mm f\\1.2 would be a nice to have.\u00a0 And finally, just to stop hearing me talk about it give us a 200mm f2.8 macro.\u00a0 There I said it.<\/p>\n
Now as a Minolta and Sony A-mount owner I would like a version of the LA-EA adapters that allows screw drive lens to be used without a translucent mirror involved.\u00a0 Come on Sony, do the right thing.<\/p>\n
A built-in intervalometer function would be nice.<\/p>\n
And finally, most important, Sony you need to completely water seal your professional level cameras.<\/strong>\u00a0 This will ensure that professional photographers will feel safe investing tens of thousands of dollars in your system.<\/p>\n So that\u2019s my short critique of the Sony e-mount ecosystem.\u00a0 Other than the long lenses and the water-sealing they are very minor items.\u00a0 But based on my incredible media clout I expect Sony to acknowledge this order and act on it almost immediately.<\/p>\n So let it be written, so shall it be done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After yesterday\u2019s post I thought I\u2019d add a short follow-up addressing the gaps in the e-mount system that I personally care about.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[33,20,32,1352],"class_list":["post-4380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photography","tag-mirrorless","tag-sony","tag-sony-a7-cameras","tag-what-the-e-mount-system-still-needs"],"yoast_head":"\n
