I’m thrilled that Tamron has given this 12-20mm lens to us for a full-frame sensor.
Really is a compact, easy lens to carry with you in your bag. So, that's what I love about it the most is just how absolutely lightweight this lens is.
I think this is a great offering that fits so nicely between that 16-30mm and the 70-180mm. It really becomes that gap lens.
[T]his becomes the pinnacle of 30 plus years of innovation that brings us to a lens that’s going to give us sharp images. It’s going to be fast.
[I]t is a lightweight, easy to carry, great EVF, enough frames per second for any application that I’m going to use for this camera.
This really becomes the lens to choose. So, I think it’s going to be great fun to have and be able to shoot.
I think that f/2.8, these are the lenses that people dream about, you know, and say, “Oh, someday I’ll buy that lens.” Well, this becomes a price point that makes it far more achievable for most people. And that, I think, makes this lens really a winner across the board.
That wide lens, it's just an excellent addition to the trinity in a G2 lens.
It makes it a super useful lens at a really good price, and sharp!
I think this becomes a very simple decision for me. I love the thought of having something like this in my bag I can just grab it and I do this often.
So I did not expect to be as excited about shooting this as I was. It was a great experience.
I don’t think you would be disappointed with this camera. If you’re into medium format and you bought any of the others, the 100s, I think this is an upgrade.
We have a grip on it here from Small Rig which allows you to hold it a little better. But I think the genius of this camera is just that it is very small.
So there you have it. If you love Micro Four Thirds. The G9 II is a great step forward. You’re going to love the features on this camera.
I can live without a lot of the other things. But if you can afford to step up to the R6 II I think that’s probably a better choice for you if you have the money.
Panasonic just edged out Sony & Canon – The Panasonic S5 II is now the best full frame entry level camera on the market!
This lens as a lightweight platform makes it a very easy lens to carry with you and just a great, really great application. Close focusing distance, lightweight, f/2.8.
It really does have an incredible range.
This lens has VC control which you really need if you’re going to be on a 300mm or a 450mm conversion for APS-C sensor. Just ergonomically I think it works.
I think if you are using an APS-C sensor this is the lens series you should get yourself into because it’s affordable. It gives you great quality.
It really stood out for me that it really works so well with the autofocus features of my Sony camera.
This is a really nice everyday carry camera that you stick in your backpack, that you have on hand with you all the time.
[I]t’s a lens, now vs a 24-70 and 70-200, this is a compromise on both ends, but if I only have $800 this becomes a great place to be in the middle there.
