Very likely: Sony 16-25mm G to be announced tomorrow on April 16

Share

Other sources confirmed that on April 16 Sony should announce the 16-25mm f/2.8 G lens. I am now trying to get the date of the next two Sony announcement in May and June where we will get the ZV-E10, 85mm f/1.4 GMII and likely the 24-70mm f/2.0 GM.

But I already heard about some more gear and if trusted sources know some tidbits please feel free to contact me using this anonymous contact box (Click here and use your usual nickname so that I can recognize you in future) or via sonyalpharumors@gmail.com.

My specific questions are:

  1. The exact 24-70mm f/2.0 GM announcement date?
  2. Info about another lens that should be coming soon (I didn’t share the specs yet of this one)
  3. Info about the next Sony Full Frame E-mount camera announcement
  4. Info about the next generation fixed lens camera(s)

Thanks!

Sigma 500mm FE lens review by SonyAlphaBlog: “provides ultimate image quality in a light and small form factor”

Share

500mm f/5.6 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Calumet, WexUK.

SonyAlphaBlog tested the Sigma 500mm lens and concluded:

The Sigma 500mm F5.6 DG DN Sports (3200 euros) is an excellent lens and a very good news for animal shooters. It provides the ultimate image quality in a light and small form factor, much more usable than a 500mm F4 or 400mm f2.8 or the big telephoto zooms at a very reasonable price of 3200 euros. It can fit in a standard backpack

It AF, optical stabilisation , ergonomics, build quality is excellent. Bokeh , color rendition , distortion, Resistance to flare , level of CA are also excellent
The only weak point is the very long min focusing distance of 3.2m and the limitations imposed by Sony : max 15fps and no TC allowed

Highly recommended
