LEAKED: First image of the four new Tamron FE lenses!

Share

Here is the first leaked image of the  four new Tamron FE lenses:

– 70-180mm f/2.8 (ships 2020)
– 20mm f/2.8 (ships 2020)
– 24mm f/2.8 (ships 2019)
– 35mm f/2.8 (ships 2019)

Just  a short correction on the Tamron lens launch. I previously reported  the lenses would be announced on October 24. But I now got notified the lenses will be announced on October 22 and  the press conference is on October 24.

Reminder: Sony has their press event on October 23 but I don’t know if they will announce some new lenses…so far I heard nothing.

Current Tamron FE lenses:

Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 FE:
In the USA at BHphoto, Amazon, FocusCamera, BuyDig and Adorama.
In Europe it’s available at Amazon DE, Calumet DE, WexUK, Park UK, Amazon IT, Amazon FR, Amazon ES, CameraTools NL.

Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 FE:
Tamron 28-75mm lens at at Amazon, Bhphoto, FocusCamera and Adorama. in Europe at Amazon DE, Amazon UK and Amazon FR.

That’s an approximate size comparison with the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8:

Sony Creative Space schedule, During Photo Plus Expo

Share

Sony will have a major event next week in NYC. I do not expect any new camera announcements and I have little hope there might be at  least some new lens. You never know but don’t hope to much  :)

Still, we will get four new Tamron lenses on October 24! And maybe some other third party manufacturer will have E-moutn related announcements too…
