I'd wait for the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm FE. :angel:here's an interesting thought. the new tamron 15-30mm looks promising, but for A7/r/s users, will you pick up the A-mount version and use LA-EA or will you accept slower AF but in exchange for VC by getting the canon version with EF/e-mount adaptor?
but from the look of it, it could cost far more than the Tamron. :banghead: but tamron will have VC (if going via canon route) and F2.8.I'd wait for the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm FE. :angel:
I believe it automatically applies the A-mount corrections since the camera talks to the lenses by means of the LA-E4.Out of interest, what in-camera lens correction do you get when you use a lens via the LE-A4?

To be honest, I am probably too old for Tamron to really catch my attention. Too many years of reaching for an alternative only to find the construction build, performance, resolution, fit and finish were sub par when compared to the "brand name." Zeiss on the other hand has always pleased me. Full disclosure, over the years I have owned many Zeiss branded lenses. I own several now, and use them daily. I have only owned one Tamron zoom, that one acquired by trade several years ago and disposed of shortly after. So I am strongly biased towards Zeiss glass. Call me a fanboy, it's truebut from the look of it, it could cost far more than the Tamron. :banghead: but tamron will have VC (if going via canon route) and F2.8.
if what tramon claim is true (in Matt Granger's video, he said Tamron aim to beat nikon's offering and not just match it), then Tamron may be a real alternative.
I used an older Minolta 20mm f2.8 with LA4 Sony adapter on my A7R. Adobe ACR recognized the combination as a Sony 20mm f2.8 lens (a rebadged Minolta 20mm f2.8) and allowed me to use automatic lens corrections. Hope this helpsI believe it automatically applies the A-mount corrections since the camera talks to the lenses by means of the LA-E4.
