On Instagram Samyang teased the launch of a new lens. Of course this is the 135mm f/1.8 FE that they themselves showed a couple of weeks ago:
Our source “M.” sent us the specs of the soon to be announced new Samyang 135mm f/1.8 FE lens:
13 elements in 11 Groups
Shortest shooting distance：0.69m
Filter :82mm
size: Φ93.4 x 129.6 mm
weight:772g
On the official CP+ page you can see Cosinas message teasing the launch of new lenses.
The last E-mount lens announced by Cosina was the Lanthar 35mm f/2.0 launched back in Spring 2021.
I told you a couple of times that for sure this year we will get the A7RV and A9III. Both cameras will be on market for the second half of the year only due the worldwide sensor chip shortage. But last in December I also started to get some “hints” about unexpected new E-mount gear. And now that I got the same “hint” from three different sources I will share with you what this is about:
Basically there is a chance that Sony might introduce something “different” and “new”. Not a successor of a current existing camera. The sources didn’t tell me what this might be. So don’t read too much into it for now. The last time we rumored about something “new” we got the Sony A7C that didn’t really meet the high expectations. I hope to get more info about this model soon…

A very reliable source told me the Sony 85mm f/1.2 GM is being tested by some ambassadors. This means the announcement shouldn’t be far out ! Maybe we will get in February ahead of the CP+ show?
Here is That1Cameraguy answer to Tony Northrup.
All I can say is that for sure we will get the A7RV and A9III. Never heard anything about an A5 yet…although I would certainly like the idea for a sub $1,000 FE model.
They believe that Sony is likely to announce a new 100MP camera in 2022. This would have to be the new A7rV. I am not so sure about this yet. But we know Sony already has such kind of sensors in the works. Two years ago I reported about this new Sony sensor having 102 Megapixels and 6k recording. The specs are stunning:
2.91um pixel architecture, 100MP @ 10fps, 6K video using 12bit ADC with on-chip binning/line-skipping. 4K RGB 4:4:4 video with on-chip colour-aware binning.
This 12288 x 8192 100MP sensor employs a unique, CFA-based column-parallel ADC design:
The sensor is said to perform better than A7III in terms of dynamic range, sensitivity (QE) and readout speed. Here is the 4K RGB 4:4:4 readout mode:
A trusted source confirmed the launch of the new Sigma 20mm f/2.0 DG DN lens. And he also said two more primes will be announced shortly after the 20mm lens. Will share some details as soon as I double checked the info I got.
