Image on top shows the 24mm GM aperture ring

Two sources told me this about the new Sony 20mm f/1.8 G FE lens:

same design quality of the 16-55 f/2.8 . And like the 24mm Gmaster it has an aperture ring and switch for fluid aperture for filmmaker

I guess that having 16-55mm cues means that it has a MF-AF switch and a customizable button too.

One single source got hinted that Sony will announce a camera “soon”. The word “Soon” is relative and my guess it means within a couple of weeks. The safest bet is that this is the fixed lens camera already registered in Asia. But there is a “lot of whisper” on this camera. Translated for you readers this means this ain’t going to be just a boring minor release.

Also I keep mixed feedback on the A7sII successor…while the camera might not be on market soon there is a small chance that Sony will give us some kind of “teaser” of this camera. If they are smart they will do it to kill the attention from the EOS-R5 and X-T4.

To sum up what we know so far:

• 100% chance Sony will have an announcement day around February 25
• 100% chance we will get the 20mm f/1.8 FE G
• 60% chance we will get a new “camera” around February 25
• 100% chance the 12-24mm f/2.8 GM will be available this summer

If you heard “something” about this camera drop an anonymous message here:

At minute 2:50 Claus Pfeifer from Sony said:

Sony a7s iii or whatever the camera will be called is going to be a great camera that will be out sometime in the future

To sum up the little we know so far:

• A7sII successor might be announced in late August or early September before the IBC show. It’s not excluded that Sony might give us some teaser months before the launch
• A7sII successor will at elast record 4k60p and 10bit 4:2:2
• As7III successor is rumored to record 4k120p toohttps://www.mirrorlessrumors.com/french-website-leakes-the-first-canon-eos-5r-images/

A suggestion for Sony: Why not start a teaser campaign to keep us on the loop? Tonight Canon will do exactly that! They will announce the development of the EOS-R5 8K camera with IBIS. You can already see the images and some info on MirrorlessRumors.com

Stay tuned….and remind it…we posted the lens info FIRST! And no other website ever got this :)

Moreover, we are making some progress on the A7IV, A7sIV launch time rumors…

image on top shows the current hood for the 35mm lens

Nokishita spotted the registration of a new Sony lens hood with the code “ALC-SH162″. This is the first direct confirmation that Sony will announce a new lens soon. As I told you before this will be a “Fast Wide Angle Prime Lens“

I also want to debunking a rumor: This is NOT a 18mm f/1.8 GM lens. Of that Iam 100% sure.

A source sent me a couple of info about Tamron:

Tamron mentioned that they will only be making mirrorless lenses from now on! I asked if they meant like Canon, but they said that they’re all in on mirrorless and fully committed (unlike Canon).
Tamron also mentioned that some of the previously rumored lenses had their release dates delayed, so we’re getting less lenses than expected. They also expected the 70-180 to be finished by now, so that’s been delayed.

We are likely to get some info about the exact lens price and availability around the CP+ show start on February 27.
