The European store e-infin.com listed the Samyang 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8 lens with a price tag of €1,179.00. That’s exactly €400 cheaper than the Tamron competition lens.

I have been told that the announcement date has been slightly postponed from late March to early April.

Sony posted the official teaser for the ZV-E1 launch! The teaser page is also up at BHphoto and Fotokoch. Some testers also gave me a first feedback on this camera:

• 409k ISO
• AF from a7r V but it has even better detection
• Body overheats a lot at the moment
• Lots of new AI features, very innovative
• Similar body style of the ZV-E10, but in the size of the Sony A7c and with some FX3 elements
• Price slightly below $2,500

Small correction form yesterdays rumor: The new Samyang has not a constant f/2.8 aperture but actually the same Tamron lens specs! So it’s a 35-150mm f/2.0-2.8 lens! Compared to the Tamron the Samyang is said to be much more affordable (don’t have exact pricing info yet). The lens will likely be announced next week!
