As you may remember I told you Sony is ready to launch two new cameras soon. The first is likely to be the Sony A7sII successor (code “WW271448“) and the second is a camera that will be “the first of it’s line” (code “WW850128“).

Today that second “mysterious” got the Bluetooth certification test (Click here). This is just one more confirmation it’s going to be announced soon. The little I heard about this camera is:

• first camera of a new name line
• it’s a Full Frame camera

Drop me a message if you know more about this camera and the possible A7sIII successor. Thanks!

Registration spotted by Nokishita

Hi-Lows-Note spotted a new Sigma patent describing the design of a new 70-200mm f/4.0 lens for Full Frame mirrorless systems.

Specs:
Zoom ratio: 2.68
Focal length: 72.50 118.13 193.95 mm
F number: 4.00 3.99 4.00
Angle of view: 33.22 20.36 12.38
Image height: 21.63 21.63 21.63 mm
Lens length: 200.60 200.60 200.60 mm

Tamron Japan published a new teaser video. It unveils that this is a high-ratio zoom lens for Full Frame. And it will be announced on June 11.

As far as rumors goes this is what we heard:

• specs might be something like 28-240mm f/3.5-5.6 (more or less)
• Has a focus locking switch
• more or less same size as the current 28-75mm lens.

Here are some of the teaser video images with increased luminosity:

Reliable sources told us that Sony will announce two more cameras in (June). We now have been told this:

1) The first Full Frame model appears to be the long awaited A7sII successor

2) The second model is a “new kind” of Full Frame camera!!!

I don’t know what they mean with “new kind”. We have plenty of possible options:

• “Worse case” scenario this is something like a RX1RII successor but with new “naming structure”…maybe a Sony version of the Zeiss ZX1?
• Best case scenario this is the first of a new E-mount camera line.

Let me know what you think this might be:

This Sony lens is 2mm wider than the current Sigma 14-24mm FE

Back in February I told you that Sony would launch a new 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens this summer (read the original rumor here). And today the reliable source Nokishita confirmed that our rumors is correct and Sony will announce this lens within the next couple off weeks.
Now this is good news also because it means that the other rumors are likely to be correct too….which means:

• There is a new High End Full Frame camera coming in June (likely to be the A7sII successor)
• There is a new “surprise” camera model coming in June/July which seems to be a “different” camera than the current models

My sources confirmed the teased lens is not the usual f/2.8 zoom from Tamron. This is a new affordable travel lens.

Our reader Puni Puni made this image size analysis:

We have some hints about ratio between mount width and lens length.
261:482 from the image is like a ratio of 1:1,85
The 17-28 is ratio 1:1,58
The 28-75 is ratio 1:89
The 70-180 is ratio 1:2,39
This new lens have the same length as the 28-75 when zoom is retracted. Very interesting.

So while this lens will have about the size of the current 28-75mm FE it will have a slower aperture and longer focal range. I hope it’s a better version of the Sony 24-240mm FE lens :)

P.S.: There will be two more FE lenses coming in 2020 after that new travel zoom.

Tamron will soon announce a new Full Frame E-mount lens! This is a new zoom and I shall get some more news soon! This si the first of the three FE lenses Tamron will announce in 2020 :)

The teaser video says the lens is “made for everycenery” which might suggest this is a perfect travel zoom lens…
