In exactly one month from now the Cp+ show will open their doors. Sony is known for avoiding using those events to announce new gear. They prefer to have all the buzz for themselves.But here is what’s coming next for us E-mount shooters:

  1. The Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM II is coming in February (I am 100% sure of that). Hope to get the exact announcement date soon
  2. The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 FE will also be announced in February (my leaked image and specs can be found here)
  3. New Sony A1 firmware adding A7rV video AF features might be announced in February too (but I hope it will add a ton of other new features too!)
  4. 16-35mm GMII is on the roadmap, announcement within the next few months
  5. Sony A9III is 100% confirmed to be coming the next months. Just don’t know yet when exactly.
  6. Overall I am 100% sure there will be many more E-mount cameras this year than we had in 2022. Will update you about this soon on my youtube channel!

Sony will soon announce the new 50mm f/1.4 GM lens!

Image on top shows the current Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens

I had one new source that told me days ago that Sony would announce a new 50mm f/1.4 GM. I didn’t even bother to post it on SAR thinking that it was unlikely to be correct. Well, a second trusted source spotted by Digicameinfo confirmed now that this lens will be announced soon!

The code is “SEL50F14GM” and it will be basically a more compact and affordable version of the currently available Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens. My new source also told me the lens has “size similar to 35 1.4”

And like I told you yesterday Sigma will also announce a new 50mm f/1.4 FE lens soon. So I guess we are in no shortage of 50mm lens options :)

 

Stay tuned: Sony 20-70mm G lens announcement soon…also because I already saw the lens ;)

I had the pleasure to see the Sony 20-70mm G lens. Sadly I cannot show you the image…but at least I know now for sure this is a real thing and not a rumor anymore :)

Announcement should happen today at 3pm. And because I am always mean and very clickbaity (is it a word?) I can already tease you that tomorrow or after tomorrow I will post the next 100% reliable rumor about a new third party autofocus lens ;)
