Tamron, Tokina, Astrodesign are (also) joining MFT

[quote name='Rover' timestamp='1327931532' post='15306']

Hate to piss on everyone's candles again but it's been a lot of time since Zeiss proper, Tamron, Sigma and probably Cosina (don't call me out on that one) have joined the E mount. Did we get any worthwhile products out of this? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' /> Please raise your hands if you did. Anyone?



I really hope it's different this time though.

Zeiss products for µFT are available for quite some time. The same holds for Schneider Kreuznach, see e.g. [url="http://www.four-thirds.org/en/microft/cine-sys.html"]http://www.four-thir...t/cine-sys.html[/url] for Zeiss and Schneider Kreuznach lenses.



From Cosina there is the 25mm/0.95 available for some time (reviewed by Klaus and gang).

Sigma just showed two lenses (adopted APS-C <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Sad' /> ) at recents trade shows with availability in spring.



So products are there from those which joined some time ago. Apart from the Sigma products, the Zeiss, Schneider and Cosina products fill specialist needs which are not catered for by Olympus and Panasonic. Regarding Tamron, as with Sigma, I expect something which is more competition to the Olympus/Panasonic products. The interesting question will be, whether the Tamron products are proper µFT products like the Cosina product or "improper" like the Sigma products.
enjoy
