There was a rumor earlier this morning that Sony still had something Camera related to announce. Well it seems that while the rumor is true the announcement is actually an accessory for the RX0:
If you own the Sony RX0 you might be interested in this. Sony will announce the new CCB-WD1 module. So far no sign of other camera related stuff that might be announced today…

It took Sony 4.5 years to launch a new APS-C E-mount lens. Back in August 27 of the year 2013 Sony announced the 16-70mm Zeiss and the 18-105mm. Note: We had a Sony Cine lens for APS-C but this is not a mainstream APS-C lens for photographers.
Today Sony announced the new Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens and the first reaction of the people seems to be negative. Not because this might not be a great lens. But for sure this wasn’t an “urgently” needed kind of lens. The APS-C system still is in need of some high quality fast zooms and some nice primes. But let’s focus on the good news of today: Sony is finally back launching APS-C E-mount lenses and I am sure there is more to come in 2018.

There is yet not a single review or hands-on of the new Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens. We have to wait til CES show starts on Jan 8 to see some more real life tests. But at least on paper this looks like a nice travel tool:
