RUMOR: Sony is rumored to announce three new APS-C E lenses within the next weeks: Two far primes and a zoom!

Guess when Sony announced the last new APS-C E-mount lens? It was the Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 (image on top) back on Aug 28, 2019!

Now, to my surprise one reliable source told me that Sony might announced three(!) new APS-C lenses in May/June. These should be TWO FAST PRIMES and ONE ZOOM !!!

I hope other sources can confirm the rumor because I would hate this to be wrong. It’s about time Sony releases new APS-C lenses and cameras!

The Sigma 16-28mm FE lens could be the only lens to be announced for summertime

I have been told that Sigma might announce only one new E-mount lens for the summertime. Could be because of the worldwide shortage of electronic parts. That’s also why the new Sony 16-35mm FE and 24-70mm GM II will ship two-three months after their announcement.

POLL: Do you want this Sony A1II with integrated grip? Should resolution be increased?

16 months ago Sony announced the groundbreaking A1. The only real competitor is the excellent Nikon Z9. I guess that Sony will announce a new A1II sometimes in late 2023. Let’s help out Sony and answer the following polls:
