The new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 FE lens uses an improved AF motor that works faster than the one used on the current 28-75mm FE. And today we can finally see it in action!
The German youtuber Valuetech posted the first quick autofocus test (watch from minute 2):
Seems to work very fast and accurately! Not bad if you consider they used the “older” Sony A7rIII af system and a prototype lens.

Sony 20mm f/1.8 Hands On Review by Albert Dros
The first new Sony FE Lens of 2020! Here’s the 20mm f/1.8. Not an ultra wide prime, but a nice little fast wide angle that could be great for a number of uses. Sony asked me to try this lens out for a few days. One week in between 2 trips and during the moving of my house, my first response was : “sure!” . The bad weather in the Netherlands certainly didn’t help much, but I managed to test the lens in a variety of conditions. In this little article I’ll be addressing my first responses after having tried this lens for a few days.
Design
First things first: It’s tiny! And light! It’s great to see Sony really pushing the size of mirrorless for what it was meant: smaller and lighter. This lens follows the design of the 24mm GM, and is surprisingly no GM lens, but merely a G. We might also see this reflect on the price tag :) (I don’t know the retail price yet). Being a G lens, this lens still looks quite identical to the 24mm GM lens. It has a similar design, has a dedicated ring for the Aperture (nice for video), has a dedicated AF/MF switch and is small and tiny like the 24mm.
