This is not an April Fool’s joke! A new Chinese lens brand called ‘Songraw’ will soon announce this new 50mm f/1.2 AF FE lens (pictured above). You can also find an official teaser on their website:
There is no information yet about the price and the exact release date. But on BilliBilli a commentator said that Songraw has also patented a new 85mm f/1.2 AF FE lens. So this lens could also sometimes come later.
Reliable sources Sigma is going to announce another new STUNNING new lens. I should soon get the final confirmation on the specs…so please be patient..
P.S.: If the specs I have will get confirmed this is an EPIC lens people on SAR will love…also because there is NO such lens in the E-mount range yet!
In a strange coincidence of events we might soon get TWO direct Sony FX3 competitors:
The good news for us: This should put pressure on Sony to release a new FX3II. I pod hope it uses the same 24MP global shutter sensor of the A9III.
On March 26 Sony will announce the new Venice Extension System Mini. One of our readers (Thanks!) shared this insight on the camera:
Sony has announced that it will release a scaled-down VENICE expansion module on March 26, 2025, designed to deliver next-generation visual content in an ultra-compact form factor. The VENICE Extension System Mini (model CBK-3621XS) has a built-in 8.6K full-frame CMOS sensor that retains the image quality of VENICE 2, but is approximately 70% smaller than the VENICE Extension System 2 (image block volume ratio). Flexibility is built into every corner of the compact design. A slim, soft, detachable cable brings greater freedom to filmmaking, while also opening up XR content creation and stitching shooting.

The PL mount adapter supports more lens selection and metadata recording. Assignable buttons and numerous mounting holes allow photographers to mount and shoot to their preferences. This compact system is ideal for handheld, gimbal, and POV shooting.
That’s all we can expect from this announcement. The next interesting announcement from Sony should come soon with the release of a new lens!
Sony just published this teaser for a new camera launch on March 26. And here are the things you have to know…let’s start with the FACTS:
THE RUMOR
A few weeks ago, I told you that Sony had postponed the launch of the Sony A7V and was instead expecting to launch another E-mount camera that is more of a ‘niche’ product. The source said it won’t be a Sony FX3 successor. I do not have specs to share yet but my hope is that it uses the same Sony A9III global shutter.
THE ONE CURIOUS DETAIL
The official Sony teaser video also contains this detail:
Now let me know in the comment system what you think this is ;)

Recently Sigma announced the Silver I Series edition to match the color of their new Sigma BF camera. These are only available in L-mount but according to one source they will be available in E-mount version starting from the second half of the year.
I got some additional specs on the new Viltrox primes and some also a pricing estimate from Weixin and Gordon Laing:

Viltrox 85mm f/1.4 FE:
