Editorial note: Thanks to all sources for the accurate Sony, Sigma, Zeiss, Tamron rumors
The past weeks have been very busy and the good news is that at least all of our SR5 ranked rumors proved to be correct. I have to thank all sources for sharing all this info!
List of correct rumors of the past weeks:
– Exclusive leaked images of the Sony A7III (article here).
– Info about multiple Sigma FE lens launch (article here and article here).
– Leaked images of the new Sony Flash (article here).
– First images of the new 400mm FE lens (article here and article here and article here).
– First rumors about new entry-level Alpha and flash (article here).
– Tamron 28-75mm FE specs (article here)
– Leaked Zeiss Loxia 25mm FE images (article here).
Many of the low ranked rumors were wrong but some of them (like Tamron and a Sigma) were correct. I will take a very short break with my family as these weeks drained out my energy. After that I will move on to talk about the next Sony cameras and lenses which are likely to be announced in April-May.
Thanks again to sources and readers for your daily support!

To support SonyAlphaRumors you can do this:
Sigma FE lenses to have the same price as Canon/Nikon version. Which one will you buy?
We now got nine new Sony FE lenses to play with. The seven existing ART primes plus the two new 70mm and 105mm primes. I know many readers are disappointed those lenses have not a special new design made specifically for Sony. I am a bit disappointed too. But now I am looking at the full half glass and want to cheer you up with those arguments:
1) You don’t have to spend extra money on the MC-11 adapter.
2) These lenses are compatible with Sony’s Continuous AF, which would have not been possible by using the Sigma MC-11 adapter. This means you get all the full Sony autofocus system benefits.
3) A new special design would probably have raised the cost of the lens. And all those ART lenses already have a superb Image Quality.
4) At least on the tele side of the lens size a “special FE design” would have been resulted in more or less the same size anyway.
“Unofficial chatter” also leads to a somehow easy to guess info on the pricing. All nine Sony FE lenses will have the same price of the Canon-Nikon versions.

SIGMA launches seven interchangeable Art prime lenses for Sony E-mount cameras with full-frame sensors
SIGMA Corporation is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of interchangeable lenses for the Sony E-mount digital camera series with full-frame image sensors. SIGMA will gradually introduce the lenses as members of the Art line, which offers photographers the highest level of optical performance.
While offering the same high-performance optical design as other lenses in the Art line, the new Sony E-mount models will feature a newly developed control algorithm that optimizes the autofocus drive and maximizes the data transmission speed. In addition, these lenses will be compatible with Sony’s Continuous AF (AF-C) and high-speed autofocus, which are not addressed by SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11. Like the converter MC-11, the lenses will be compatible with in-camera image stabilization and in-camera lens aberration correction, which includes corrections for peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, and distortion.
The lineup will include the Art line set of seven prime lenses covering 14mm to 135mm. It will also include two models that SIGMA will be exhibiting at CP+ 2018: 70mm F2.8 DG MACRO | Art and 105mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art (launch date TBD). Further, SIGMA plans to introduce additional Sony E-mount models in the Art line going forward.
Note: This product is developed, manufactured and sold based on the specifications of E-mount which was disclosed by Sony Corporation under the license agreement with Sony Corporation.
Key features
1. Autofocus tuned for each lens
Thanks to an autofocus drive control program tuned for each lens and high-speed data transmission, the lenses will offer high-speed autofocus at the same performance level as that of a lens designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras. In particular, in E-mount cameras offering Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF, AF-C mode will deliver exceptional subject following performance. Moreover, autofocus will remain extremely precise even in those E-mount cameras offering only contrast AF.
2. Compatible with in-camera image stabilization
The lenses will be compatible with in-camera image stabilization. The Sony E-mount camera senses the focal length of the lens and automatically optimizes image stabilization performance.
3. Data loaded for compatibility with in-camera aberration correction The lenses will be fully compatible with in-camera aberration correction, which includes corrections for peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, and distortion. By matching corrections to the optical characteristics of the lens, this function takes image quality to an even higher level.
4. Native mount for a more rigid and stable feel Making the mount native to the lens makes possible a more rigid and stable feel to the lens. Featuring a special surface treatment to enhance strength, the brass bayonet mount offers a high-precision fit and exceptional durability. The mount connection area incorporates rubber sealing for dust- and splash-proof construction.
5. Available Mount Conversion Service This service converts the mount of SIGMA lenses to that of a different camera body, allowing photographers to continue using their favorite lenses over the long term regardless of camera system.
Note 1: The Mount Conversion Service is different from a normal repair. In order to apply for the service, please contact your nearest authorized SIGMA subsidiary or distributor. http://www.sigma-global.com/en/about/world-network/
Note 2: This service is performed exclusively by SIGMA.
