All the rumors so far: Sony announcement, Sigma ART FE, Tamron E-mount, Tokina FE, Samyang and Laowa…

This Sigma roadmap shows the 50mm f/1.4 for APS-C E-mount

We posted many rumors the past days so let’s make a short recap:

1) Sony
Trusted: From trusted sources we know Sony will announce new “entry-mid” level Alpha camera and a new Flash on February 26 at the WPPI in Las Vegas.
Unconfirmed: We definitely will NOT get a new A7sIII. But it’s unconfirmed yet what that “entry-mid” level camera might be: A new A7III, A5300, A6500 or A77m3???

2) Sigma
Sigma should show their first ART FE lenses at the CP+ show. It’s unclear if one or some of the lenses will hit the market right away or if this will be more of a roadmap/development announcement.
There might be also a new 50mm f/1.4 lens for APS-C E-mount cameras.

3) Tamron
Tamron will announce a new 28-75mm f/2.8 FE lens.

4) Venus Optics
the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 will for APS-C E-mount will be announced in late March for $499.

5) Tokina
Tokina might finally show their two wide and super wide FE lens primes

6) Samyang
Samyang is going to announce a new portrait FE lens as next. But announcement date is yet unconfirmed. Could be ay Cp+ or shortly after that.

Curious note: If the rumored A7III specs will turn out to be true I will have some great rumor for the A7sIII too from the very same source…fingers crossed his A7III specs are correct!

First image samples shot with the new Sony 400mm f/2.8 OSS GM FE lens!

Share

Yesterday a reader sent us new images of the Sony 400mm f/2.8 OSS GM FE lens that is being tested at the Olympics. Today our reader Max spotted the first images shot with this lens by Sony photographer Bob Martin! They are all posted on his Instagram channel: instagram.com/bubblesontour/.

This one for example is clearly taken with the 400mm lens:

And this one has been taken with the 400mm lens and the 2x converter (800mm in total):

Reminder: This lens will hit the market in September according to BHphoto. And it will surely cost $10,000+ just like the Canon 400mm lens :(
