What a day folks!  First we got 100% confirmation that Sony will soon announce the new 35mm f/1.8 FE lens. And now Sony registered a new camera model with the code “WW246025”.

This means we now have two new cameras and one lens that will be announced within 1-2 months:

• WW245025  (probably a new RX or Cybershot camera)
• WW716189 (High End E-mount camera with 5.8 GHXz WiFi which I believe could be the A9II)
• Sony 35mm f/1.8 FE lens (SEL35F18F).

Exciting time ahead!

And don’t forget in July Sigma will have a major announcement too with the new 35mm f/1.2 FE lens and something more… ;)

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:

Samyang 35mm f/1.4 vs Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 vs Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 via Camerasize

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:

• Sigma will launch a new 35mm f/1.2 FE lens soon (could be in July)
• This will be Sigma’s first lens designed specifically for Full Frame mirrorless
• Thanks to the f/1.2 aperture this will be the fastest autofocus lens in the FE lens lineup.
