This is the leaked image of the new Laowa 25-100mm f/2.8 APS-C E-mount zoom:
Looks cool and it ha s no focus breathing and its parafocal. But a bit pity this isn’t a Full Frame lens :(
I just got this from a source:
Sony will have a small press conference during the World Photography Awards. It is not of large scale, so the most optimistic expectation would be a lens announcement, definitely not a new body of any kind.
In the past Sony has announced some stuff at the World Photography Awards but I guess this time we probably will not get any product announcement.
At this point I think that if we are going to see something new this might be the new 24mm f/1.4 FE GM lens. And if there is nothing I bet we are going to get something new in May already anyway.
A source just sent us this image of the new Laowa FE zoom. And he said:
The new lens is an FE10-18 zoom (99% confirmed). The aperture seems to be F3.5-F4.5 but this part I’m not sure.
The lens should be announced in 2-3 weeks. This is a manual focus lens only but the specs are quite amazing: Compared with my Sony 12-24mm FE (see image below) this new Laowa is more compact, lighter (I guess) and takes filters too. And I don’t mind the shorter tele end because the extra 2mm on the wide end are way more interesting for my kind of shooting.
And our reader Jmar made a another accurate size comparison based on the Laowa teaser image we posted earlier today:
UPDATE: More images:
Stay tuned on SAR!
Thephoblographer reports that the new Tokina 20mm FE lens will be priced at $950. The lens is listed at BHphoto with no preorder option and no price info.
A trusted source did tell me the price of the new Sigma 70mm f/2.8 macro lens. It will be priced at 90000JPY. I have no official price is USD and EURO. I converted them on google and price is $850 and 700 Euro. But of course this is just at current conversion rate and doesn’t take into account regional tax and pricing differences.
This is the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 vs the Sony 90mm f/2.8 macro comparison (via CameraSize)

Image on top shows the current FS5 and not the rumored new model
A major store confirmed that: “There is an FS5MK2 coming“. So this E-mount camcorder is what Sony should annonce today at 3pm Las Vegas time. Chances are still low to see a new A7sIII too.
