Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 versus the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 S via CameraSize.
Nokishita confirmed our rumor (posted last year) that Sony will soon launch a new 35mm f/1.8 FE lens! There is no price and release info yet. But I guess the lens will be officially announced very soon!
UPDATE: This image that is going viral on the web is just a photoshopped images based on the current 50mm f/1.8 FE. But I guess the REAL lens will look very close to that :)
I am now 100% sure that the US price of the new Tamron 17-28mm FE lens will be $899. Shipment start in July. I believe the $899 is a very good price tag for that lens!
17-28mm FE preorders will open on June 27 at BHphoto, FocusCamera and Adorama.
Here are the leaked specs:

I got this from Personal View. Still I got the “feeling” the rumor is likely to b e correct. He told me this about the new Sigma 35mm f/1.2 FE:
– July-August announcement
– Premium construction
– Lot of HR elements in construction, record low aberrations
– Record MTF of any FF lens at F1.2
– Ultra fast and silent AF, made also for video
This is the 99% reliable info we have so far about the new lens:

Multiple sources confirmed that tomorrow (June 26) we shall get more info about the Tamron 17-28mm FE pricing and shipment start. What I can confirm with 100% certainity is this:
1) At least in Europe the new 17-28mm FE lens will cost more than the 28-75mm FE
2) The lens will start shipping out in early July (Europe) late July (HongKong) and/or early August (Taiwan)
3) The price in Taiwan is 29,500 TWD (Approx 955USD)

Here is the leaked MTF chart and spec sheet of the new Tamron 17-28mm FE lens!

A store in Andorra has listed the 17-28mm FE lens for 699 Euro and mid July shipment start. But please note that Andorra is a fiscal paradise with prices that are usually much lower than regular EU price.
I guess the “normal” EU price will be something between 899 and 999 Euro

Two highly reliable sources shared to me the first specs of the next Sigma FE prime lens:
While I like the idea to have a f/1.2 fast prime I hope this lens will not be super big. If it’s about the same size of the current Samyang-Zeiss lenses I would be really happy with it!
One more thing: I have been told there are more natively designed FE lenses to come in 2019!!!
In summary:
It’s going to be a busy summer. Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 pricing will be announced this week, than we will have the fast Sigma prime lens announcement and probably some more Sigma FE lenses too. And in August-September we might get new Sony FE lenses along the A9II announcement?
