How2Fly confirmed that Sony is expected to soon launch the new 16-28mm f/2.0 GM lens. This will be the world’s fastest wide angle zoom lens! This will be finalize the f/2.0 zoom trinity that includes the Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 GM and 50-150mm f 2.0 GM.
I still don’t have any additional details such as pricing, size, or other specifications. And at the moment, I can’t confirm whether this lens will be announced alongside the new Sony A7V on December 2 (product page here).
All I know for sure is that within the next 3-4 months Sony will announce those three lenses:
- 16-28mm f/2.0 GM
- 100-400mm f/4.0 GM
- 100-400mm G (variable aperture, more affordable, more compact/lightweight)
Additional Sony A7V info:
A source told me Pre-Capture record up to 1sec and that 30fps is blackout free.
