Converter for Sony E: is it the MC-11?

expensive ?

Know any other 14/1.8 with AF?
Or meant the 24-70 (which I find suspiciously cheap)

About the 24-70mm ... I suggest to abandon all hope there ...

Probably still good for APS-C...?

The most boring standard zoom just gets 1.5 × more boring in APS-C.

APS-C + speedbooster? Oh, wait...

I will pay special attention to a review of this 24-70mm Art lens, what purpose in this round of Art and G2 glass has a lens which isn't sharp at the edges??
Seems somewhat strange to me.......while it's up against the very decent Tamron!

The Sigma is 1300$, the Nikkor 2200$
Does anybody think, all 900$ are just the normal overpricing of genuine lenses? ^_^
For the Tamron G2 I haven't found prices or MTF
