Sony announces new 50/1.4. Sigma announces new 50/1.4
Why? What's wrong with the old versions? Is it even necessary to have a 1.2, 1.4, and 1.8?
If Sony had never released a new 70-200, would anyone have even known the difference? Isn't the old one a great lens already? This same thing applies to every new release of a previous version lens. Is it better? Yeah, probably, but is the difference worth it, especially considering if it were never released, no one would ever be the wiser?
True Grit was a great movie. So was the Magnificent Seven. Both remakes were fun, but neither one was necessary, and had they never been released everyone would've been happy just to enjoy the original versions.
Why do we have GAS? This is why. The never-ending quest to get you to spend your money on the next best thing. I guess they gotta' stay in business, but for Pete's sake, come up with a NEW idea, not the same old thing.
Having said that, I'm as guilty as everyone else. These two new 50 releases just put a really fine point on it.
