The new Tamron zoom specs are damn close to the one of the Sony 24-240mm FE!

Share

Two reliable sources told me this:

The new Tamron FE zoom lens is damn close (in terms of specs) to the current Sony 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS FE lens.

This is my speculation (I repeat speculation and not rumor):
1) The Tamron specs might be something like 28-240mm f/3.5-5.6 and has no optical stabilization (the Sony has it).  Having 4mm less at the wide end and no OSS would allow Tamron to make the lens more compact and a bit faster at the tele end. I think my speculation is probably veeery close to the real deal :)
2) Or 28-280mm f/3.5-6.3 with 40mm more at the tele ens.

Just a small update on the upcoming new Tamron FE lens:

  • specs might be something like 28-240mm f/3.5-5.6 (more or less)
  • Has a focus locking switch
  • more or less same size as the current 28-75mm lens.

CONFIRMED! Sony will soon announce the new 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens!

Share

This Sony lens is 2mm wider than the current Sigma 14-24mm FE

Back in February I told you that Sony would launch a new 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens this summer (read the original rumor here). And today the reliable source Nokishita confirmed that our rumors is correct and Sony will announce this lens within the next couple off weeks.
Now this is good news also because it means that the other rumors are likely to be correct too….which means:

  • There is a new High End Full Frame camera coming in June (likely to be the A7sII successor)
  • There is a new “surprise” camera model coming in June/July which seems to be a “different” camera than the current models
