Image on top shows the Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 (image on top) which was the last APS-C lens announced by Sony back on Aug 28, 2019!

These are the three APS-C lenses that Sony will announce soon:

• 11mm f/1.8 (17mm in Full Frame equivalent terms)
• 15mm f/1.4 (22mm in Full Frame equivalent terms)
• 10-20mm f/4.0 (15-30mm in Full Frame equivalent terms)

I also have been told the 10-20mm lens is a very compact and lightweight travel-friendly wide angle zoom.

It’s quite a big commitment from Sony to launch fast ultra wide and wide primes. It’s a pity they will not announce a new APS-C camera too but this has to do with the current worldwide semiconductor shortage. From what I heard the ZV kind of E-mount camera launch has been delayed to late 2022.

Here are many detailed thoughts on the new lenses:

I will share more lens info and probably also some A7rV soon!

Therefore, to not miss any rumors I kindly invite you all to follow the Discord channel, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and my new Youtube channel.

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 “rumor background noise” is building up again and I finally got RELIABLE rumors I will post today at 15:00 London time. There will be definitely a new E-mount announcement soon! I will talk about it on Youtube today (Click here and subscribe).

Here are the leaked Laowa 90mm f/2.8 FE lens specs:

• Shortest shooting distance 20.4cm
• Filter size 67mm
• Size 74 x 120mm
• Weight 619g

The lens will be announced on May 23

CameraBeta shared this unboxing video of the new Laowa FFII 90mm F2.8 Macro 2X lens. The lens will be announced on May 23:

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.
