    What have not been shoved into the lenses? The second motor! There is room to grow.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Two motors is no longer a novelty for a long time, the same Sony has been doing this for a long time

  • B. R. P.

    Known fact.

  • Roman

    To be honest, on a full frame 20 / 2.8 with a stub is much preferable. The main part of the tasks on it is landscape or architecture, and very often the ability to shoot a stationary scene from hand will be better than a higher aperture. But whom how as they say ...

    Generally not bad, I have an old 20 / 2.8 - 72 mm, and here 1.8 - 67 mm. Still, mirrorless have their advantages.

  • Victor

    What surprises me with mirrorless cameras is that the physical dimensions of cameras are decreasing, but the optics are growing and growing ... This is the answer to those who decide to “save” on weight ... and, also, given the adherence of many to fixes, the weight of your wardrobe trunk will definitely not become less ...

    • Pokemon

      + BZK has a greater need for batteries than DSLRs and you still need to take extra ones with you.

    • Roman

      I wrote one comment above that the wider aperture was smaller, and you say that the dimensions of the optics are growing. Nikon was able to build a pancake 16-50, Canon - folding 70-200. New, albeit dark, zooms with the sizes of the old ones give extra tens of millimeters of focal lengths. Everything is pretty good. Maybe there is where there is a need to increase the size of the elements, but there are no complaints about this particular lens.
