Still confusion on the Tamron teaser: Yes there will be soon a new 200mm FE lens but the teaser might be for a promotion only

This is a weird situation. I am 100% sure there is a new Tamron tele lens (with a 200mm Focal length…not sure if prime or zoom) coming soon. And I will soon post you something to prove it to you ;)

But one trusted sources keeps telling me the teaser is actually for a lens promotion only. So this is causing some confusion! So let’s be conservative and sum it up this way:

On Monday Tamron will definitely launch a new promotion. But there is also a new lens that might be announced only a short time after that (proof coming soon).

RUMOR: Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM will cost a bit less than the current Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens

I have been told the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM will cost a bit less than the current Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens.

The specs I got are:

  • The filter size is 72mm
  • close focus distance is 0,4m (1.32ft)
  • A bit shorter than the Sigma 50mm f/1.4
  • Lighter than the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4
  • Announcement on March 16

Reminder: On March 23 Sony will announce more new E-mount lenses!

I saw the new lens and this is a rough size comparison. Not 100% accurate but 95% :)

RUMOR: Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM has 72mm filter size, 0,4m (1.32ft) close focus distance and is lighter than the Zeiss 50mm FE !

I now saw more images of the new 50mm f/1.2 GM lens. I cannot share those images but I can tell you some specs:

  • The filter size is 72mm
  • close focus distance is 0,4m (1.32ft)
  • Definitely shorter than the Sigma 35mm f/1.4
  • Lighter than the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4
  • Announcement on March 16

And like I told you on March 23 Sony will announce more new E-mount lenses!
