Sony did actually patent a 24-70mm f/2.0 GM lens design!
There’s no denying that the 28-70mm f/2.0 GM is an amazing lens. However, some were a little disappointed that it didn’t offer the classic “24mm” focal length at the wide end. That would have made it so much more useful!
Well we now have evidence Sony has at least about doing this lens. In this new patent published in December Sony describes the optical design of both, the official 28-70mm and an unreleased 24-70mm f/2.0 GM. I suspect Sony opted for the 28mm version because of size-weight-cost benefits. Still I wonder if Sony will ever do a 24-70mm f/2.0 GM. Do you think this would make sense for you?

New lighter and cheaper Songraw f/1.2 FE lenses are coming soon

SongRAW is set to launch the “Youth Edition” AF 50mm F1.2 and AF 85mm F1.2 full-frame autofocus lenses. Sources suggest that these new lenses will be priced lower than the current versions, along with reduced weight and further optimizations.
Their current lenses are quite large, so I hope you they have found a way to significantly reduce their size and weight.
