oh boy, until a few years ago it was very clear what lenses to own for certain jobs: a 24-70 2.8 and the 70-200 2.8... but now there is 28-70 f2 and ... 70-150 f2.

[@MarkReese]

Haha yep! It now seems to be a 3-question issue: (1) What size / weight are we willing to put up with (2) What creative look are we going after and (3) How much light do we have to work with

[@rafaelmartinvannostrand2084]

[@MarkReese]

@@rafaelmartinvannostrand2084 - Good addition!

[@texmex9721]

@@MarkReese 24-70 2.8 and the 70-200 2.8 are still super good super safe pro options. The f2 zooms like this seem like dentist lenses to me. Lenses for collectors. No problem if that's what you want. A pro will have the zooms and then maybe add a prime.

[@MarkReese]

@@texmex9721 - Haha I'm no lens collector. But I am a pro sports photographer, and the difference from f/2.8 to f/2.0 is a full stop. If that means being able to shoot at ISO 6,400 instead of 12,800 in some dark gyms, then that's a huge advantage. If light isn't the issue, then the next consideration is the degree of background blur & quality of the bokeh. For that, an f/2.0 is better than f/2.8, but not a world-changing difference to my eyes. I'd say a 2-stop difference is needed for a dramatic improvement in background blur. That's where those f/1.4 primes come into play.

[@77dris]

I've been beta testing Canon's new 70-150 F2.0 but can't say more because of NDAs. With that said, the fisting is next level. Also, the new Canon 70-200 2.8s are already $4000 here in Canadia (plus 13% sales tax)... I can't imagine what the final price of the 70-150 will be.

[@jonpaulpepen9470]

After seeing them replacing the EF 300mm f/2.8 with an RF 100-300 f/2.8, I thought it would be cool to see them replace the 200mm f/2 with a 100-200 f/2

[@MarkReese]

If it's not too heavy / handhold-able for a full sporting event, then I could be interested (though a 1st-party 35-150mm f/2-2.8 that can AF while zooming might be better)👊

[@Robert_Gonzales]

The whole point is that it’s a f/2 the whole way out, variable aperture isn’t impressive

[@markkempton4579]

​@@Robert_Gonzalesyou're obviously missing the point of the Tamron. I don't care about the bonus f/2. It's the focal length that's amazing.

[@MarkReese]

@@Robert_Gonzales - Totally get that, and there's huge value with a constant f/2 when working in low light and/or to blow out the backgrounds more. I'm just also interested in a compromise...a variable (but still fast) aperture that still includes a true wide angle. That could eliminate the need to shoot with 2-3 bodies for a lot of people.

[@MarkReese]

@@markkempton4579 - Well if focal length is the best part, then the Tamron 35-150mm already exists & is waiting for ya!

[@stuartdavis798]

I get the impression all of these camera/lens companies put a new lens out at intervals timed to make the photograph folks Jones just enough to get them to NEED a new lens. The lenses all seem to have a lot of redundancy and usually only offer incremental improvements for a boat load of money (see estimated $4,000 price tag). I guess it works! They are giving the people what they want. Before you think I'm criticizing anyone, I'm also one of these folks who Jones for the lens that will make me a marginally better photographer and am currently contemplating buying a lens that would have little to no benefit. My"dream" lens would ONLY cost $575. And I'm sure that I could also use the new Sony A1mark 2 when it comes out. Thanks for your videos

[@CallMeRabbitzUSVI]

You'll be surprised, but they had the capability to make these lenses long time ago. They just re released lenses for the mirrorless mounts first and milked that, then they are going to make all the lenses they couldve made back in the DSLR era

[@trueatfalse]

If this first lens of the LAB series lands well with pro and semi-pro photographers, they'll gonna bombard the market with highest tier lenses for all major camera manufacturers pretty soon. Not sure if I should look forward to or be afraid of that.

[@daustonian9331]

Both Canon lenses would be sweet, but you'd need Hulk Hogan guns in his prime to hold up both of those Canon lenses and cameras for the day! You're about half way there, Jared :) (oh, and a deep bank account too!)

[@Juan19RR]

I could still cancel my 70-200 f2.8 and I want to prioritize portrait photography so what do you all say? Do I wait for the 70-150 f2? Money is not the problem. Any advice would be great.

[@chiranjiviacharya13]

You can get the 70-200 f/2.8 now and sell it later when the 70-150 f/2 comes out if money isn't the problem. Because you don't know when it is releasing(if it is releasing at all) and you don't know how long you will have to wait. Or get a used 70-200 2.8 and save some money now and you can sell it in few months without losing a lot of money.

[@JojoJoget]

Why would you need F2 for controlled lighting?

[@kevindiaz3459]

You're contemplating forgoing a lens that does exist for one that does not exist? Its not even officially announced. So I guess the question is, how long can you go without the lens you intended to get? It could be that the 70-150mm F2 never exist, a lot of these patents never become anything else. I would love to see this lens happen though.

Just watch Dustin Abbott’s review of this lens. It’s truly excellent at any price let alone $899. He did apply the latest firmware update that maybe others who reviewed the lens hadn’t done yet so that likely would have explained some of the other less than stellar reviews.

[@benthompson9717]

Since you mentioned the 28-70 f2, I looked it up and B&H has it on sale for $300 off. Do you think there's a follow-up to this lens or is this just excess inventory? I noticed it also weighs a beefy 3.15 lbs. Which I assume means the 70-150 f2 is going to top out closer to 4 lbs. Thoughts?

[@natedagreat90]

Sensor tech hasn't changed much in terms of normal non stacked sensors regular ol cmos hasn't changed much but I agree should have been a newer bsi dx 20 mp senor faster read out and improved high iso would have made this camera a go for me.

[@stevebaird1939]

Jared's Nikon pain runs deep - it's hard to get over your Ex. however, his Z50 ii review is good. to be fair, Fuji is the only brand I see really pushing aps-c tech. Canon is using modified M series and 90D sensors, and it seems Sony has been using/tweaking the same a6 series sensor forever. everyone loves the Nikon D500 sensor. those sensors are all great so i think it's okay the big brands reuse them and have lower cost options. the advancements are mostly in processors and AI algorithms anyway.

[@noelchignell1048]

A 70-150mm f/2 would have a front element of 75mm which is only slightly bigger than a 70-200mm f/2.8's 71.5mm so only very slightly bigger and heavier and might not be much more expensive either. The Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z lens has a 82mm filter size so this 70-150mm f/2 might fit the same housing anyway and they could make it another matching Z lens. However perhaps Canon will make a 70-200mm f/2 instead which would be even more amazing but would be very similar in size, weight and price to their 100-300mm f/2.8

[@davidgatzen1543]

I do not like noisy lenses, because I shoot photos, and video. When I shoot video I usually use a microphone mounted on the camera hot-shoe, so a noisy lens would be a problem.

Great Video

[@SlyMaelstrom]

How does Jared take photo snapshots in the middle of his video recording as you see him do in many videos? Is he recording the VF output to an external recorder while in photo mode or is he just extracting a single frame from a video and post-processing the frame? I feel like it must be the former because I think he's done this on videos where he's showing us client work (who would probably not be thrilled to receive 4K video frames for their money).

Crazy to think Nikon for example, used to make a tiny 50mm 1.2 AIS... and insane how big the 1.2's are now

[@JuanSanchez-zz3me]

Well, if I recall, the Nikon 50mm is massive due to having very little or no focus breathing. If you look at the Sony 50 1.2, they use focus breathing compensation because the lens suffers from it. I'm sure it could be made smaller though. Photographers probably don't care for that as much as videographers

I feel it's weird that no one has this in their line up, the "pro" APS-C camera. Nikon and Canon both did well selling the D500 and 7Dmkii, and what they have put out there just isn't on par for things like build quality and general ruggedness. Sony, I don't know their whole line up but I'm pretty sure it's the same; small form factor APS-C cameras that are full of features but just are not what wildlife shooters are looking for. I like my R7, but FFS the camera is too small to use with larger lenses and it can't take a grip (unless you got with some third party option that doesn't really hold up well).
