(SR5) On Monday Sony will announce their most expensive E-mount lens in their range…the 600mm f/4.0 costing around $14,000!

Share


What you see on top is an image from the official Sony patent for a 600mm f/4.0 FE lens

It has been a rollercoaster of rumor time: But finally we sorted out things and we can report with 100% certainty that on Monday Sony will announce their most expensive E-mount lens ever:

We have been told 600mm f/4.0 will have an estimated price of around $14,000!

By comparison the Nikon 600mm and the Canon 600mm lenses cost less than $13,000. Here is a size comparison between the Nikon/Canon 600mm lens and the Sony 400mm GM. I guess the Sony 600mm will have a similar size.

On Monday June 10 (I guess 4-5pm London time) Sony will announce:

  • 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G lens priced around $2,000
  • 600mm f/4.0 for $14,000

Exciting!

Note: Nokishita confirmed two lenses are coming. But they have no info about when it will be announced and how much they will cost…we have it :)

In case you missed it: Summary of why we got no announcement on June 6 as previously rumored:

  1. June 5/6 journalists had a meeting to test the 200-600mm G lens.
  2. But the NDA to publish their hands-on is now set to expire on Monday (June 10) and not Today (June 6) as they have been previously told.
  3. A second lens has been unveiled to them at the very end of the meeting!
  4. This lens is the 600mm f/4.0

Waiting time for the Sony 24mm GM now down to 3-5 weeks at Amazon US

Share

Sony is slowly solving the 24mm Stock issues. If you order the lens now you will receive it within 3-5 weeks according to today’s updated Amazon US page. Similar Stock issues are happening in Europe too. Only 2 lenses in Stock now at Amazon DE while Calumet says they will ship them to you in 1-3 months.

Still bad news with the new 135mm GM: It’s nowhere in Stock at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama and FocusCamera. EU at ParkCameras, WexUK and Calumet DE. UPDATE: I now heard the 135mm GM might be in Stock on June 18 at BHphoto!

(SR5) Great last minute news: Two FE lenses to be announced on Monday!

Share

I now had a chat with three different sources. All three were actually expecting to be able to publish their 200-600mm FE G lens hands-on news today!

But now they told me that there was a last minute change at Sony:

  1. All journalists and youtubers had to sign an NDA which will expire on Monday!
  2. They now got info about a second FE lens too!

So this is what we learned now about the two new FE lenses:

  1. Sony 200-600mm FE f/5.6-6.3 will cost around $2,000
  2. The second lens is a fast telephoto prime!

Sorry again for the confusing 200-600mm announcement rumors but as you see there was really a major change because we now have TWO FE lenses to be unveiled early next week!

Summary in case you got lost with my rumors lately:

  1. June 5/6 journalists had a meeting to test the 200-600mm G lens.
  2. But the NDA to publish their hands-on is now set to expire on Monday (June 10) and not Today (June 6) as they have been previously told.
  3. A second lens has been unveiled to them at the very end of the meeting!
  4. This lens is a fast telephoto prime.

UPDATE: Correction on time release info. 200-600mm FE (price $2,000) and second FE to be announced on Monday!

Share

UPDATE:
Journalists are currently attending the 200-600mm FE G lens launch and shooting both wildlife and sports with it. But the official press text has still not be released.

I realized that I misunderstood the time release date: At 16:00 London time the Sony journalists press meeting has started but the NDA will expire on Monday! Sony decided to give journalists some hands-on time before the lens news goes public in a few days. I apologize for the misunderstanding!

One more thing: Latest I heard that the lens price is around $2,000!

UPDATE-2: Sony decided in very last minute to delay the public announcement to Monday…and we will get a second FE lens too! Read more about it here: sonyalpharumors.com/sr5-great-last-minute-news-two-fe-lenses-to-be-announced-early-next-week/
