Just yesterday, Digital Camera World (which is not peak journalism, I admit) posted an article about whether zoom lenses are dying out: With ever-higher camera resolutions, have zoom lenses had their day? | Digital Camera World
We’re obviously not there yet, but you only need to look at the leaps made in technology/software over the last 15 years to imagine what imaging technology could be like in 2035. But even if tiny lenses, high megapixels and software enable 600mm equivalent zooms, I’m thinking enthusiasts will still be wanting proper optical technology for their hobbies/career.
But it does make me wonder why some manufacturers are going all-in on full frame and larger lenses.
