Sony confirms again A-mount keeps going on. And me working on A-mount rumors…

In an interview with DC.watch Sony confirmed once again A-mount development is going on. And that’s also the kind of info I keep “receiving” from trusted and anonymous sources. I am trying to get some more reliable detailed info about the possible future A-mount stuff release. Let’s hope I can post more “solid” rumors soon!

(SR2) Some “whispers” about the FE lens price: Zeiss 35mm for 1399 euro?

sony-fe-24-240mm-zoom-lens

VeryBigLobo got unofficially some “whispered” price info of the new FE lenses:

– 28mm f/2.0 G should cost 499 Euro (February shipment)
– 35mm f/1.4 Zeiss should cost 1399 Euro (March shipment)
– 90mm f/2.8 G macro should cost 999 Euro (March shipment)
– 24-240mm f/3.5-6.4 should cost 1099 Euro (March shipment)
– both converters should cost 229 Euro each (March shipment)

Take it with a grain of salt. To me this looks like a very good pricing!

Reminder: Sony announcement in a few hours at 15:00 London time.

In a few hours at exactly 15:00 London time (16:00 in Köln at the Photokina) Sony will introduce new lenses. As usual you can follow the event here on SAR where I will give you all links to reviews, news and preorders for the new products. By the way 15:00 London time is:
7am in San Francisco
10 am in NYC
23:00 in Tokyo.

What can we expect? The Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.0 for sure. And Sony will also likely show more new (pre)production A and E-mount lenses and an updated FE lens roadmap.

(SR5) Full Zeiss 16-35mm FE lens MTF and design graph.

I got more images about the new Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.0 FE OSS lens that will be announced tomorrow. As you know you can follow the event live here at SAR at 16:00 Berlin time!

Here are two graphs about the new lens:

The Zeiss 16-35mm should ship within end of this year. But I “fear” that all other lenses that will be announced tomorrow will hit the market in 2015 only. Because so far I didn’t get detailed info on them…probably because Sony will not unveil the final info tomorrow (just general introduction).

To end with a good news: After Pohotkina I can probably start with new rumors about the High Resolution cameras and some RX camera info I got in these days.

Follow the Sony announcement live here on SAR on Monday Sept 15 at 16:00 Berlin time. That’s:
7am in San Francisco
10 am in NYC
15:00 in London
23:00 in Tokyo.

(SR5) New Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.0 FE leaked!

This is the first image of the new Zeiss 16-35mm f/4.0 FE OSS lens that will be announced on Monday (16:00 Berlin time). It should cost around 1350 Euro. Sony will likely introduce two more FE lenses although I don’t know if these will be ready for sale this year or more likely be on market in 2015 only (90mm macro and a fast Zeiss prime should come). Stay tuned on SAR!

Follow the Sony announcement live here on SAR on Monday Sept 15 at 16:00 Berlin time. That’s:
7am in San Francisco
10 am in NYC
15:00 in London
23:00 in Tokyo.

(SR4) 90mm macro G FE almost sure to come. Follow announcement live on Monday on SAR!

On Monday (Sept 15) at 16:00 Berlin time Sony will finally announced the new A and E-mount lenses. Among them we will have the new 16-35mm f/4.0 FE Zeiss, the 90mm G FE macro, and likely an updated 35mm f/1.4 and 70-300mm A-mount lens. As you see on the official roadmap image on top there should be also a fast prime lens from Sony but I am not sure it will be available within 2014. Anyway, this could be the fast 85mm lens. Sony may also shows us an updated FE roadmap with some general info about the lens to come in 2015.

There could be also new accessories and one of them should be the new flash for the A7 camera series. And like I told you before we have no info about any other new camera that could be announced on Monday. But I hope Sony will officially tease us about the next very BIG camera announcement coming in January!

So follow the event live here on SAR on Monday Sept 15 at 16:00 Berlin time. That’s:
7am in San Francisco
10 am in NYC
15:00 in London
23:00 in Tokyo.
