New Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 II zoom lens coming in mid May!

Two trusted sources confirmed the following info:

  • New Sigma announcement in mid May
  • We will get the redesigned 24-70mm f/2.8 II Full Frame lens for Sony E and Leica L
  • The new lens is more compact, optically sharper, has better color rendition, improved AF performance than it’s predecessor

I have been told that the reason why Sigma is launching a new version is because they want to be able to compete with the excellent Sony 24-70mm GMII. And they also gave me another interesting tidbit: The Sigma 24-70mm is their most popular lens. Sigma wants to keep it that way!

I am working to get some additional details on the pricing and exact release date. Stay tuned!

Confirmed: Two new Sony Full Frame E-mount cameras coming in Q3, but no Sony A1II this year!

In my previous post I told you about what to expect in May and June (read here if interested). I told you several times that Sony will announce a new full-frame camera only in the second half of the year. And now I have begun to receive the first rumors about it. So far what has been confirmed by reliable sources is this:

Between July and October we should get at least:

  • One new Alpha Full Frame camera
  • One new FX Full Frame camera

I also can confirm this:

  • The Alpha camera is not the Sony A1II. That camera is likely to be announced in early 2025 only.

Surprises:

  • But…..there is some unconfirmed rumors about additional models too! So there might be some additional surprises!

You will wonder, what are those new FX and Alpha FF cameras?
I might be soon able to tell you more about the FX camera while about the Alpha camera I still do not have a final confirmation. Could be the A7sIV…but that’s just my speculation for now. That’s all, I am not going to spill out unreliable rumors yet in the hope I can get more reliable info soon.

The good news after 16-25mm G announcement: 24-70mm f/2.0 and 85mm f/1.4 GMII is coming soon too!

I have been telling you for months about five lenses coming til early summer:

The fact that he got the first two lenses right definitely confirms that we will soon have these two new GM monsters! A series of interesting announcements can be expected from now on:

  1. The next Sony announcement will bring us the ZV-E10II and one new lens.(the one with the specs I still don’t know).
  2. With that OR shortly after that we will get the new GM lenses.
  3. And after the GM lenses we can talk big business with new Alpha bodies, FX cameras and more exciting lenses!

In general you can expect every announcement to be more “interesting” than the one before! Join our newsletter and social network to not miss any of my upcoming rumors:

Other sources confirmed that on April 16 Sony should announce the 16-25mm f/2.8 G lens. I am now trying to get the date of the next two Sony announcement in May and June where we will get the ZV-E10, 85mm f/1.4 GMII and likely the 24-70mm f/2.0 GM.

But I already heard about some more gear and if trusted sources know some tidbits please feel free to contact me using this anonymous contact box (Click here and use your usual nickname so that I can recognize you in future) or via sonyalpharumors@gmail.com.

My specific questions are:

  1. The exact 24-70mm f/2.0 GM announcement date?
  2. Info about another lens that should be coming soon (I didn’t share the specs yet of this one)
  3. Info about the next Sony Full Frame E-mount camera announcement
  4. Info about the next generation fixed lens camera(s)

Thanks!

  2. The other lens info I heard for the first time…will try to dig into this ;)
  3. I am eager to here about the Full Frame E-mount…
  4. Did you hear some whispers about the new fixed lens camera(s) from Sony?

Thanks again!

100% confirmed: Sony 16-25mm f/2.8 G to be announced next week! And ZV-E10II coming in May/June

Four reliable sources confirm to me that the Sony 16-25mm f/2.8 G will be announced next week. And that should be it, there doesn’t seem to be anything else at that press event. The next big Sony event is scheduled for May (June at the latest). We will have the ZV-E10II, the 85mm f/1.4GMII and hopefully the 24-70mm f/2.0 GM.

But like I told you before, there is going to be MAJOR announcements right after the ZV-E10II. One of the cameras coming is a new FX, but there are also new Alpha cameras and maybe also one “surprise” ;)
