Yongnuo will soon launch three new E-mount products: On the image on top from left to right you see their new Flash for Sony camera, the 50mm f/1.8 Full Frame E-mount lens and the 50mm f/1.8 APS-C E-mount lens.
The lenses will be priced just below $100 just like these lenses.
This is the first image of the new Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 APS-C E-mount autofocus lens. It should cost less than $100 and be available on Amazon.
And here is the 50mm f/1.8 Full Frame autofocus version. This should be E-mount too but I got no 100% confirmation on that:
Sigma CEO Yamaki got interview at Dpreview. There are two news that might be interesting for our readers:
Can’t wait to see all those new E-mount lenses!
We will soon et another new $5,000 lens from Zeiss. The Otus 100mm f/1.4 should be announced very soon and be available as usual in Canon EF and Nikon F mount version. This manual focus lens can be adapted on any Sony E-mount camera too. Here are the specs:

One of our sources just shared this image to confirme the new 3.0 firmware for the A7rIII and A7III will be released on April 11. These are the expected new features:
Sony’s popular α7R III and α7 III full-frame cameras will both receive enhanced Real-time Eye AF performance with the upcoming firmware version 3.0. This will be available in AF-C mode with a simple half-press of the shutter button. Real-Time Eye AF for animals (i) will also be available.
The cameras will also receive interval recording functionality that will allow for simple creation of time-lapse movies (vii). The new feature can be set for anywhere between 1 and 60 seconds, with a total number of shots from 1 to 9999. AE tracking sensitivity can also be adjusted to “High”, “Mid” or “Low” during interval recording, allowing for reduced changes in exposure over the shooting interval.
On April 7 at 2pm Las Vegas time Sony will have a product launch event and I will have a video livestream embedded here on SAR!
Like I told you before there is near zero chance they will announce the new A7sIII. Instead we will get new camcorders. The probably most interesting new thing could be some info about the new XEVC 8K codec (article and detailed images here). This might be used by the future A7sIII too.
Anyway, be sure to be here on April 7 to watch the event. We never know that there might be a surprise…
I just got some info about the new Yongnuo lens. It could be a 50mm f/1.8 FE autofocus lens. The lens will be announced around April 12 and cost around $100 only! This is the same price as their Canon EF and Nikon F versions (here on Amazon).
Could become a hotseller!
