A reliable source has just told me that Samyang will announce the new 60-180mm f/2.8 FE lens at the Cp+ show, a lens we already saw a couple of months ago (see image above). Although the source did not specify whether the 28-135mm f/2.8 FE will also be on display, they added that Samyang will be showing some new prototypes of “extreme” lenses. One of these is an impressive new 20-50mm f/2.0 FE lens!

Samyang’s goal is to gather feedback on these new prototypes and, if there is sufficient interest, proceed with their production. Some 5 years ago Tamron did patent the optical design for a 20-50mm f/2.0 FE lens but it has never materialized.

Although the Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 GM is an exceptional lens, I would personally prefer a version with a wider angle. I imagine the lens will be quite large, but who cares… it would be nice to have something new, don’t you think?

This lens will soon get a replacement

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.
