Viltrox shared a new lens roadmap which includes 5 Full Frame lenses (surely for E-mount) and one new APS-C lens (unclear if it’s E-mount too). All those lenses have autofocus:
2020
24mm f/1.8 FE
36mm f/1.8 FE
50mm f/1.8 FE
2021
13mm f/1.4 APS-C
28mm f/1.8 FE
16mm f/1.8 FE
You can find some nice Viltrox Full Frame lenses on Amazon US. There will be also a new version of the current already good 85mm f/1.8 FE lens:

Sony professional just posted the list of gear they announced today (you can see the long video here). As expected no new A7sIII that I told you is more likely to be announced in June! And a good sign for this is that Sony OFFICIALLY registered a new high End camera in Asia (article here).
Big mistake from Sony management to not at least give us an update on the A7sII successor launch. Also strange to have posted such a boring powerpoint alike presentation that a 5 year old can do!
More news:
Sony announced a new firmware update for the FX9 and Venice FF E-mount camcorders (info here).
Dmitri from Tokyomade.photography sent me the link to his full mind map of the Sony A7III menu system. You can see it here: https://imgur.com/PODOrwY. He writes:
The goal of this endeavor was not to produce an impressive-looking mind map, though. Well, not entirely, at any rate. First, it offered a good way to discover and understand the camera’s less-often used functionality and unearth useful features buried under multiple menu layers. I also use the resulting mind map as a reference on my laptop and mobile devices. Quickly navigating through mind maps is much more practical than flipping through pages or scrolling through a PDF file.
You can get the mind map file at Gumroad. The mind map was created with Freeplane.

In 60 minutes CVP will post this video with Daniel Listh. And the youtube tags show the “A7sIII”. Now I don’t wanna give you too much hope because this may be done just to get on top of search results:

On April 30 at 10:00 am EDT time (16:00 Berlin time) Sony will live stream the event they had planed for the NAB show. Now, I told you not to have to many hopes: This is a professional broadcast event and we are likely to get the three new Sony Cine E-mount autofocus lenses and probably new camcorder(s).
But I still hope that Sony marketing has learned the lesson from the recent Canon EOS-R5 marketing strategy:
1) This camera was first pre-announced on February 13
2) On March 13 Canon shared some more specs
3) On April 20 Canon shared the full video specs
Canon keeps releasing small info about this camera every month and we still don’t know when it will be on the market (likely very end 2020) and how much it costs. But this whole marketing path created a hype where Sony “looks” like a looser (I said “looks”).
So I damn hope that on April 30 Sony will at least give us some hint about their A7sII successor. A teaser, an early vague spec or whatsoever to start to change the narrative in Sony’s favor! Let’s keep our fingers crossed…
