A new soruce shared the possible specs of the rumored 400mm f/2.8 GM II. Just to be clear, this is not a rumor I got from trusted sources so be skeptical on this one until I can confirm or deny it:
Sony is going to make an announcement this Winter of the 400GMII lens in advancement of the 2025 NFL season & 2026 Winter Olympics.
It will have a drop-in 1.4x TC like the new Nikon 400mm 2.8, and with advances in materials it will weigh 100 grams less even with the built in TC.
Less busy Bokeh, and Quad XD-Liner motors for more accurate AF-C hit rate on erratic subjects.
Lens will be fully unveiled in May 2025, with shipping before the NFL 2025 season.
What do you think about those rumored updates?
