As early as January 2024, we were speculating that a new Sony FX3 II might replace the aging Sony A7S line. That didn’t happen, but plenty of other things did. Like the Sony ZV-E10 II and the A1 II…
There were camera launches to follow, but early on Sony released the rather refreshing FE 24-50mm f/2.8G, a constant aperture zoom that looks like it was actually designed to the same scale as Sony Alpha bodies. There was also a new FE 16-25mm f/2.8 designed along the same lines. Sony sacrificed focal range, but look what we got in return – constant-aperture zooms we can actually afford (and lift)! Will these ever rank amongst the best Sony lenses? Perhaps not, but they are maybe amongst the most useful.
