I bought the 28-135 last year and use it on my FX6, but I really miss a powerzoom Tele lens. There should be a 60-600 mm powerzoom lens for all us camera operators, that cover live news gathering. If there is a live statement, I often stand on the other side of the hall, so I need much focal length. The 135 mm are not close enough, when I‘m over 50 m away.
@@WupperVideo have you used the Clear Image Zoom feature? That would give you more reach on the lens. Regardless, there's not enough power zoom options for sure. It would be great to have a 28-135 f/2.8 MKii and a 60-600 sounds great too
A mark II for this lens probably would not come until the Sony FX6 Mk II comes out as well. If it does I would like to see the range get extended a bit. Maybe a 24-135 gaining 4mm on the lower end of the focal range would be very beneficial.
f2.8 powerzoom glass to replace f4 lenses would be grand. An Upgraded18-105 or 18-110 f2.8 pz would live on my camera probably. With 11mm, 16mm, 35mm & 50mm faster primes f1.4/1.8 you'd be done for most work (talking apsc here btw)
Sony had teased the 24-70 cine and 70-200 cine back when they announced the 16-35. They were silhouettes in the images but it was obvious what they were. Then Covid happened and they disappeared. The real dilemma is that they aren’t proper geared servos and they jump, so live zooms for air are never smooth.
Interesting, I hadn't heard of the 24-70 and 70-200 cine zooms. Agreed that existing zoom lens pulse too much. Have you used Sony's Zoom Remote Control? There's a great deal more fluidity with the controller.
I think they silently disappeared them even before covid. The 16-35 was huge and relatively expensive . They just missed the timing , with the AF abilities of the fx9 , previous owners of expensive cine zooms ,I had the Canon CN7 and Sigma cine zooms , on an F5 , got to love AF for interviews and realized they could get used to zooms like the Sigma / Sony 24-70 , and generally use much smaller, cheaper, lighter "stills" lenses . Personally would love to see Sony do same as Canon , and come out with the previously thought impossible , f2.8 24-105 .. I have the 28-135 , as it's the only game in Town really , love to see a MK2 , but it's going to have to be wider than 28 for me to buy it . I,d rather lose a bit off the long end to have at least 24 , close minimum focus , its vital for doc , hand held , getting into the action .
I still use the also old apsc 18-105 f4 power zoom. I can not find replacement for this lens either even though this lens is not sharp and overall image quality is subpar. I would like to own the 28-135 f4 but waiting for an updated version.
The rumor mill is saying there will be new power zooms this year. One can only hope that will include the 28-135 or perhaps something similar in terms of focal length.
There is a sony 18-110mm f4 g oss which is essentally the mark 2 but still that is not a very big range. I got a b4 lens and its outstanding with some CA which I can work around and it was alot cheaper than any of the sony very expensive short range zooms.
Filming with the FX3 and FX6 I really miss using the 18-105 f4 (I still own this lens) but it’s useless on FF sensors. The 28-135 is great lens but I find it is better on a tripod, it’s too heavy for hand held work. Sony really needs a 24-70mm f4 with OSS (f4 is smaller, lighter and cheaper than f/2.8) as the FX6 has no IBIS and Catalyst Browse is no good for if you need to deliver camera originals to agencies/production houses.

Would absolutely love a 60-600mm power zoom option. That would be my absolute dream lens.
will be boxed style lens
An ideal lens would be an update of the 28-135 lighter (as you suggested) but also with a f2.8 aperture.
Yup, agreed! I'd even take a 24-70 with constant f2.8!
@@evankolpack They have the 24-50 2.8 (or maybe coming out soon). Then becomes "What range do I need!" Blessed with too many options? lol
@@PlunderRoad A 24-50 2.8 with Power Zoom? That would be rad! Where are you seeing that they are releasing one soon?
