Asobinet spotted a newly published patent describing the specs and design of three APS-C E-mount prime lenses:

• 12mm f/1.8 (different design than the existing 11mm f/1.8)
• 14mm f/1.8
• 15mm f/1.5 (similar to the existing 15mm f/1.4).

Asobinet also talks about a variation of the 15mm lens having a f/1.0 aperture. But this should be just an exercise from engineers that will never make it into a real product.

Yongnuo announced that it will soon ship out the new version of their current 85mm f/1.8 FE lens. Those are the updates:

• New slightly different design (with no more that annoying red line)
• Now all metal building
• Water resistant mount ring
• New coating with improved backlight suppression
• Weight down to 385g
