Some images of the upcoming Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 FE AF lens on the Sony A7cR

At the NABshow Viltrox displayed the 135mm f/1.8 FE autofocus lens. They still did not disclose the exact release date and pricing of the lens. But here you can see the lens mounted on the Sony A7cR.

You can see the LED display and all manual controls. Looks like a solid build. We will have to see if the image quality will match the one of the Sony 135mm GM.

One more thing: The Viltrox 30-300 mm t/4.0 costs $65,000, but you get this additional giant pillow for free:)

Sigma 500mm FE lens review by SonyAlphaBlog: “provides ultimate image quality in a light and small form factor”

500mm f/5.6 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Calumet, WexUK.

SonyAlphaBlog tested the Sigma 500mm lens and concluded:

The Sigma 500mm F5.6 DG DN Sports (3200 euros) is an excellent lens and a very good news for animal shooters. It provides the ultimate image quality in a light and small form factor, much more usable than a 500mm F4 or 400mm f2.8 or the big telephoto zooms at a very reasonable price of 3200 euros. It can fit in a standard backpack

It AF, optical stabilisation , ergonomics, build quality is excellent. Bokeh , color rendition , distortion, Resistance to flare , level of CA are also excellent
The only weak point is the very long min focusing distance of 3.2m and the limitations imposed by Sony : max 15fps and no TC allowed

Highly recommended
