Assuming the Batis rumor is true, will anyone switch from the Batis 25 to the Batis 18? I am trying to decide this for myself.
SparkleHedgeHog reported this rumor in Nov., two months ago, having heard it from a Zeiss Rep at a show in England,
Batis 18mm prime coming in April!: Sony Alpha Full Frame E-mount Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review
Now the sony rumor site posts the same rumor as an SR5,
(SR5) Next Batis will be a new 18mm wide angle lens. | sonyalpharumors
I realize that this is a very different FL from 25, but wonder whether some will switch from the Batis 25 to the Batis 18.
What strikes me is the chance to use 18 and then 28 on crop, in order to keep a kit small for travel. I mostly use manual lenses, but want to have some with focus.
