On their Instagram account Viltrox teased the launch of a new PRO lens. This will definitely be for the new 85mm f/1.4 FE lens that was unveiled a couple of weeks ago in China:
From Minute 28 you will hear the PetaPixel team discuss the Sony A7V. I do completely agree with them when they say Sony is in dire need to release this camera now. The Nikon Z5II is killing it with big sales due the low price tag and fast speed thanks to the new partially stacked sensor. Canon will also release the new R6III in Q4 (confirmed here). Sony need a new $2500 Sony A7V with faster sensor (partially or full stacked) with similar 30+ MP resolution.
7Artisans announced a new 10mm f/3.5 APS-C E compact, ultra-wide lens with zero fisheye distortion and stunning 10-point sunstars. The lens will soon be listed on their Amazon page.
The new magnetic camera sling is now available on Kickstarter (Click here). It’s the world’s first zipper-free magnetic sling, designed for fast-shooting photographers and everyday adventurers who demand instant access, serious protection, and clean, minimalist style—all in one.
On June 17 Sigma will announce the new 12mm f/1.4 and 17-40mm f/1.8 E-mount APS-C lenses. Here are more detailed specs about this new fast zoom lens.

So this lens is 5mm shorter, 5mm narrower and 275g lighter than the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens. And this despite it having 1mm more at the wide end and 5mm more reach at the tele end. Impressive!
