Bad surprise: Sony delays the new FE lens shipment.

Back at Photokina Sony said they would launch the four new FE lenses in February (24-240mm FE) and March (rest of the lenses). Well, they cannot keep up with the promise. Sony said the release date and price will not be unveiled at CP+ but sometimes later. But at least according to DC.watch the final announcement will come very soon. Sony is officially the only company not showing ANYTHING new at CP+. And I guess it has to do with their new strategy to announce stuff off the big shows to get the full spotlight (just like they did with the A7II announcement).

I will try to get info about the exact announcement date the next couple of hours…

Reminder: This was the original shipment plan back at Photokina:

The French site also confirmed Sony should release more info tomorrow (Friday in Tokyo). Let’s hope they will also ship them soon as promised back at Photokina (March shipment).

Last week I told you how the new Voigtlander 15mm f/4,5 Super Wide Heliar III has been designed to get rid of the usual corner issues on the A7 cameras. And it will cost 749 Euro. Today at CP+ Voigtlander is showing that lens for the first time on the Sony A7r.

New FE lenses: What lens will you buy?

On Friday (February 13 at 11:30 Tokyo time) Sony will present the new FE lenses and converters at their CP+ speech. I attached the rumored price info for each lens and converter and the questions is:

Do you want the resolution yo be increased over the current 50MP?

Note: The percentage shows how many of the voters selected a specific lens. Obviously because you can choose multiple lenses the sum of the percentages is well over 100% :)
