A couple of weeks ago a trusted source confirmed that Sony’s next zoom lens will be a 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens. I have no info about the launch date yet. But I just got this from another anonymous source:

“You probably know, but sony have a 16-35 f2.8 GM coming out really soon, Pricing in Australia is $3288.”

This is the same price of the 24-70mm GM lens (there it cost 3,379.00).

The three current GM lenses are:
24-70mm GM store links: [shopcountry 47915].
85mm GM store links: [shopcountry 48072]
70-200mm GM store links: [shopcountry 48791]

UPDATE: Sony manager Otake says: With the next event we will get a new camera and lens!

Sony manager Otaka spilled out some info about the future Sony product launch cycle. He said:

今後は新しいボディが出たら新しいレンズが出る、新しいレンズが出たら新しいボディが出る、といった感じに思っていてほしい。

which translated means:

“From now on, if we release a new body, we’ll release a new lens. If we release a new lens, we’ll release a new body.”

The latest two Sony announcements where about new lenses “only” (Zeiss Planar FE in July and the 50mm FE and 70-300mm FE in May). So it’s great to hear we are now getting new cameras too!

Thanks to all SAR readers who made the correct translation :)
