Did CVP just tease the launch of a new Sony camera? I don’t think so…

A couple of SAR reader noticed that inside CVP’s review of the new Sony 85mm f/1.4 GMII lens they teased the launch of a norther new “product” that is coming soon. From the way they presented It looks like it’s a camera.

Now, I am a bit skeptic, I find it odd that they would be allowed by Sony to tease the launch of a new Sony camera while others cannot talk about this. Maybe this is another non-Sony product they will present in a couple of weeks? What do you think?

Reminder: New FX camera is coming soon…still don’t think this is the “product” they teased about…

First leaked image of the new Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 FE lens!

For the first time ever you can see an image of the Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 lens that will be announced on September 5th. The lens will be available for E and L-mount cameras and have a filter size of 82mm and weight of 990g only.

Don’t know the price yet but surely it will be a lot cheaper than the $3000 Canon’s 24-105 mm f/2.8. Stay tuned on SAR on September 5th to follow the live announcement!

LEAKED: New image of the Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II

Here is a new leaked image of the upcoming Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II (SEL85F14GM2). The image was leaked by Mike on Reddit. Sony will announce the lens on August 28 at 3 p.m. London time. It will be a bit smaller and lighter than the old 85mm GM. It can be seen that it uses a new ALC-SH180 lens hood.

Compared to the old lens, the new version has a new location for the customization button, a new IRIS lock and aperture marks that are now under the aperture ring. Image quality is said to be much improved over its seven-year-old predecessor.

I am 99% sure that no other new Alpha lenses or cameras will be announced on August 28. Sony’s next announcement should follow in early September, before the start of the IBC trade show.

If you have more info or even images of the lens you can share send me a message using this contact box or at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

Thanks to the tipster!

One week to go: Sony 85mm GMII coming on August 28

Next week, on August 28 around 3 p.m. London time, Sony will announce the new 85 mm f/1.4 GM II lens. Unfortunately, I have not received any information about other products that will be announced that day. But don’t worry, there are many new products coming in September/October/November!

First fact: On June 4 Sony registered the camera with the code “WW751104“. So this means that in September/October we are for sure getting a new model:

According to my sources, we will first have a new FX E-mount camera, then the 24-70mm f/2.0 GM, and finally a new Alpha E-mount. But there is definitely more to come than the products I mentioned now ;)
