Chris and Jordan tested the new Tamron 35mm f/2.8 FE lens and they really like the lens optical performance (less so the AF performance).

Also Marc Alhadeff likes the new lens:

The Tamron 35mm F2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 (450 euros) is an excellent lens for its price
It is part a set of new Prime lenses with all a short focusing distance , a 1:2 magnification ratio, a F2.8 aperture, same length, same weight
In term of sharpness it competes with the best : Sony FE 35mm F1.8 (700 euros) & the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN Art (1500 euros)
Its sharpness is mostly excellent/outstanding on the Sony A7RIV and the results in term of color rendition / background blur are very good

Marc Alhadeff tested the brand new Tamron 24mm f/2.8 FE lens. I know that on paper the specs are a bit boring. But the performance is excellent! Here is Marc’s conclusion:

–

The Tamron 24mm F2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 (450 euros) is an outstanding lens for its price. It is part a set of new Prime lenses with all a short focusing distance , a 1:2 magnification ratio, a F2.8 aperture, same length, same weight. It delivers very similar results to the Sony 24mm F1.4 GM (1600 euros) for a fraction of the price although obviously only being a F2.8. Its sharpness is mostly outstanding on the Sony A7RIV and the results in term of color rendition / background blur are excellent

Pros

Outstanding sharpness across the whole frame on A7RIV
Very compact and light : discrete and going well for video on a Gimbal
Low price
Very good background blur and color rendition
Good resistance to flare
Very short focusing distance allowing to reach 1:2 magnification
Fast and reliable AF

Average

Good build quality (but much lower than GM)
Vignetting is moderate (to be corrected in a future Lightroom Lens profile)
Moderate chromatic aberrations
The Bokeh Balls show 7 sided shaped polygons as of F4 and no more a ball like at F2.8

Cons

Lot of distorsion (to be corrected in a future Lightroom Lens profile)
Noisy AF in Video
Only F2.8

Unless you need a faster lens than a F2.8 , the Tamron is an absolute must have and a bargain for a A7RIV or A7RIII for still photography. If you shoot mostly video the small size of the Tamron will be a key plus on a Gimbal but you should avoid to record audio in the body in silent environment as the lens is quite noisy. If you only have a A7III with only 24Mpix and have already the Tamron 17-28mm F2.8 you won’t see a lot the difference in sharpness

There is still one more exciting new FE lens we can get before the year ends! The new Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 FE lens will start shipping out on December 17. Fengniao posted these first unboxing pictures:

Digitalcamera.jp shared the first image of the new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 FE lens mounted on the Sony A7III. Here is the google translated text of their first impression:

-With a development announcement, the 70-180mmF2.8 is extremely compact, although it will be released next spring.
-If you look at the actual machine, it is compact enough not to think of F2.8. It feels even smaller than Canon’s “RF70-200mmF2.8L”.
-Weighs in the 800g range, this size makes it feel like you can easily carry it around.
-Furthermore, AF speed is quite high, so it seems to be useful for shooting moving objects. It ’s a very fun lens.

Here are also the images of the three new f/2.8 primes:

The 20mm f/2.8 will be released in January!

Dpreview published the full Sony A6600 review and concludes:

The Sony a6600 has an industry-leading autofocus system, is capable of excellent images and video, comes with very useful in-body image stabilization and has the best battery life of any mirrorless camera on the market at this time. However, its sensor is getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, and competitors have caught up or surpassed it regarding video quality and features, resolution and handling. But for family photography and even some sports and action, it’s easily worth your consideration.
