First leaked Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM lens info

A German website mistakenly published some info about the new Sony 50mm GM lens that will be announced on February 21. First info here:

  • 11 blades aperture
  • weather sealed
  • no in lens stabilization
  • Price in Europe: 1850 Euro (that’s 450 Euro less than you pay for the 50mm f/1.2 GM).

They also claim the lens has 100% accurate autofocus, it’s super sharp, has 0,1% distortion and 1 stop vignetting.

Watch the video that contains an additional “teaser” at the end ;)

RUMOR: Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM will be announced on February 21…and one more announcement coming in March ;)

Finally I got a date: Sony will have a new product announcement event on February 21. What to expect:

Now I hear your disappointment, but it’s my duty is to cheer you up now :) The same source also said a more “major” announcement will follow soon after in March! And this should be definitely something way more interesting for our readers. As soon as I “can” I will post exact info about the Marc event on SAR and on my Youtube channel!

Here is my video about this:

LEAKED: Full size image of the new Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens

This is the new Sigma 50mm f/1.4 E-mount lens. Specs have already been leaked weeks ago (summary in the video below). The lens will be announced on February 7.

Note: I recorded this video hours before the launch of the Sigma teaser. The Feb 7 date I “rumored” in this video has now been officially confirmed:

RUMOR: Sony A7CII coming in 2023

This will come as a uprise to nobody, but a trusted source said it’s highly likely the A7cII is going to be announced in 2023. A second new source (therefore unreliable for now!) added this info:

We can expect A7C II next year. Sony already reserved some components from A7IV for “another camera” including for example sensor and IBIS. Also they scheduled increased production ONLY for EVF from A7C mk1 for this year. So we are expecting A7C II same specs as A7IV, redesigned shell but same EVF like mk1.

It’s super safe to say the A7cII will have the same A7IV specs. but if the second source is right the EVF might be the one of the A7c only! I hope this new source is definitely WRONG on this part.

Reminder: Both the A9III and A7cIII are now solidly confirmed to be coming in 2023. But there is more to come don’t worry as you can hear me teasing in this video:
