A source told me this:
Next Sony Fast Lenses will be FE 100mm F1.4 GM. The FE 85mm F1.4 GM still holds its value. It won’t be replaced by FE 85mm F1.2 GM until 2023.
I am not sure about this rumor but there might be a new Venice E-mount successor coming in late 2021. No info yet about the possible specs…
Sigma officially launched their teaser for a September 9 announcement. We already know they will unveil the new 24mm f/2.0 and 90mm f/2.8 FE lenses :)

PMR writes:
Much of sports, action, and performance photography happens under less than ideal lighting and so f/2.8 lenses are still needed to capture quality images in these situations. As it stands now, there are only two lenses that are f/2.8 for this purpose, the FE70-200mm f/2.8 GM and the FE400mm f/2.8GM lenses. This video is a formal request asking Sony to produce a 300mm f/2.8 prime lens ASAP.

Nokishita leaked the specs of the 90mm f/2.8 L-mount lens. The FE version will basically have the same specs:

9 diaphragm blades (circular diaphragm)
minimum shooting distance 0.5m
maximum shooting magnification 1: 5
filter diameter 55mm
Size φ64×59.7mm
weight 295g
Suggested retail price in Japan the same as the 35mm F2
Sigma will also announce a new 24mm f/2.0 DG DN Contemporary lens.

I finally got Sony A7IV specs from a solid source. I think there is a 95% chance those are right:
I have been told Sony’s goal with the A7IV is to really fight back with Canon. Expect it to be more than an “updated” Sony A7III. I also got some rumors from another new source but I don’t know how good that info is. I will eventually post this “non solid rumor” part on Monday.

I told you 10 days ago that the A7IV is now likely to be announced in October only due the worldwide chip shortage problem. Luckily a highly trusted source (THANKS!!!) shared finally some 99% reliable specs. I will post them at 16:00 London time when I am back home and can follow your live comments and questions!
