One trusted source told me on February 26 we are getting these lenses:
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 II FE (more compact than current 35mm f/1.4 FE)
Sigma 15mm f/1.4 APS-C E-mount lens (successor of the current 16mm f/1.4 E)
He confirms he heard “whispers” about a new 85mm f/1.2 Full Frame lens too but he got no confirmation if this lens will be announced on the same day, or be a development announcement. Also not sure if this is L-mount only or also E-mount.
Another NEW source told me there is also an APS-C zoom lens coming. But I have no specs about this lens yet.
Great news, everyone! Sony has just registered a new camera in China. The code is “WW847606” and this is what we’ve learned from the information shared by Sony:
The camera has the same Wifi 6 tech of the Sony A7V
I have heard from reliable sources that the FX3II is indeed ready. So my personal guess (not a 100% confirmed rumor) is that it could be the Sony FX3II with a new, partially stacked low-resolution sensor. The Nikon Zr and Canon C50 are more affordable and, in many ways, outperform the FX3, which is now four years old. So it simply makes sense for Sony to announce this camera.
But as I said, I don’t have 100% confirmation from multiple reliable sources yet, and what makes sense in my head may not make sense to Sony :)
What are the other candidates? I think the Sony A7rVI will most likely be announced in October/November, while I haven’t heard anything about a new A7sIV. There’s also a small chance that it could be the ZV-E1II, the A6900, or the A7cII, but again, I have no information.
Now let me know what you hope to see, and in the meantime, I’ll try to get 100% confirmation on this new camera and its possible specs. Stay tuned!
Tamron has published its full 2025 financial report. Sales and forecasts are down, but Tamron still plans to launch 10 lenses in 2026. However, it is important to note that this number includes several versions of the same lens with different mounts. So the number of truly “new” lenses could be 3 or 4.
