(SR4) New Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 FE lens gets listed at Sony Assist system!

SEL24-70mmG

The Sony Assist website (access for Sony employees only) has now listed a new FE lens! It’s the long-awaited 24-70mm f/2.8 G Full Frame E-mount lens! There is yet no image or other detailed spec of the lens but if it’s listed it means it surely is going to be announced soon (between now and CES in early January).

I thank the source for sending me this and I hope he can find some more lenses on the database. He should check for SEL1635G, SEL8514G and some more combinations ;)

Thanks!

UPDATE: Here is another image that shows the drop down list:

Voigtlander has no plan to make faster wide angle native E-mount lenses…yet.

SAR reader Billi sent me this:

I emailed Voigtlander the other day asking about the possibility of a [shoplink 42593 ebay]21mm f/1.8 or f/2 lens (like the Ultron)[/shoplink], being redesigned for the Sony FE system like the 15/12/10mm they’re about to drop; although slightly cryptic (perhaps because of translation?) this was their response:

Dear,
thank you for your mail. To your question: …time will tell…., but not in the next time.
regards

I do hope Voigtlander will read this: Please give us some fast lenses in native E-mount! Thanks :)

Noticed something strange? New Sony A68 is not available for preorder outside Europe.

A68

Well, if the just announced Sony A68 was supposed to get back some “confidence” in the A-mount system well it seems it’s definitely not enough. A couple of things that not look…right are:

  1. The new Sony A68 can be predordered in Europe only (See Technikdirekt). There is yet zero info if the camera will be ever available in other regions.
  2. Sony Australia officially said they will no more sell A-mount stuff. That seems to hint that no major A-mount stuff is supposed to be announced in future?

So we are back again at the start: What’s Sony’s real plan with A-mount? Please Sony give us some “solid” answer. A new A99II example would do just fine :)

(SR3) Sony will launch a new RZ camera with f/2.0 zoom lens!

A source told me what Sony plans to launch as next high-end fixed lens camera:

They are planning a rz version with 24-70 f2 zoom

Well, that sounds like a very nice lens! But the source did not tell me what the sensor size of the camera will be. My guess is that it uses an 1 inch sensor. Full Frame sensor would make little sense as such a  lens would definitely be huge.

(SR4) 50+Mp camera from Sony coming within the next few months?

The one trusted source who correctly told me in advance about the A7rII shared a second cool info: There will be a Sony 50+ megapixel camera from Sony within the next months. He said Sony told him that directly but didn’t mention to him if this would be an A-mount or E-mount or RX camera. All they told him is that image quality would surpass the one from the current Canon 5dS cameras. Let’s hope the source is right on that rumor too!

(SR3) Sony working on Internal Compressed raw set of codecs for the FS cameras.

FS

The Sony E-mount FS series is having a huge success among filmmakers. And this certainly helps to make the E-mount system as a whole even more popular. So let’s hope the following rumor turns out to be true:

A source told me Sony is developing an Internal Compressed raw set of codecs which will be released when the FS5 gets its (most probably paid) update. An internal raw would be huge for these cameras. He called it “FS Raw”.

This would certainly be a big news! And it would be even more impressive if it could be added on the A7sII too. But honestly I really think that’s just me dreaming. Don’t think the A7sII hardware could even handle this…
