I think all SAR readers are curious about what’s selling hot—and what’s not—these days. I can report from reliable sources that the first batch of the new Hasselblad X2D II medium format camera (B&H Photo, Amazon, Adorama) sold out quickly. The cameras have already shipped out, and anyone placing a preorder now will likely have to wait until at least the end of September to receive theirs.

Just imagine how a Sony medium format camera would sell if it had that super fast Sony Autofocus….

In a recent video, photographer Patrick shares his excitement for Sony’s latest telephoto lenses—and makes a compelling case for the next one Sony should build: a 500mm f/4 G Master.

Patrick praises the outstanding performance of the Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS and the new Sony 50-150mm f/2.8 G Master, calling them “game-changing” for sports and wildlife photography. He’s already planning to bring the 50-150mm GM to the sidelines of high school basketball games this fall.

“The 300mm f/2.8 and 50-150mm f/2.8 together give me such incredible versatility. But there’s still one lens missing.”

Why Sony should release a 500mm f/4 GM
Patrick argues that a 500mm f/4 would perfectly complete Sony’s long lens lineup—filling the gap between the Sony 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS and the Sony 600mm f/4 GM OSS. He wants a lighter, more affordable super-telephoto that still delivers that razor-sharp “eye candy” look you only get past 400mm.

According to him, in the old days of prime-only setups, the 300/500/600 trio was a common focal-length progression. Today, a 500mm f/4 GM would make a lot more sense than jumping straight from 300mm to the massive 600mm.

Other lenses on his wish list:

• A lightweight, budget-friendly 300mm f/4 G (non-GM) lens for birders and enthusiasts
• More telephoto lenses with built-in 1.4x converters
• Possibly even a 200mm f/2 G Master to rival Canon and Nikon’s legacy primes

Patrick ends the video with a clear message to Sony:

“If you build a 500mm f/4 G Master, I will buy it. No question.”

What do you think? Should Sony add a 500mm f/4 GM to the lineup? What long lens are you still waiting for?
