Yesterday a reader sent us new images of the Sony 400mm f/2.8 OSS GM FE lens that is being tested at the Olympics. Today our reader Max spotted the first images shot with this lens by Sony photographer Bob Martin! They are all posted on his Instagram channel: instagram.com/bubblesontour/.
This one for example is clearly taken with the 400mm lens:
And this one has been taken with the 400mm lens and the 2x converter (800mm in total):
Reminder: This lens will hit the market in September according to BHphoto. And it will surely cost $10,000+ just like the Canon 400mm lens :(
Two lens images got leaked the past 24 hours:
1) Image on top: Tamron 70-210mm f/4.0 for Canon and Nikon. I really don’t think they will make an A-mount version of this. This lens and the 28-75mm f/2.8 FE lens could be announced on February 22.
2) Image below: Samyang 50mm f/1.2. It’s yet unconfirmed if this is the lens we rumored days ago.
UPDATE: The Tamron lens will be announced on Feb 22:

Europeans save 200 Euro on the 85mm GM lens if they buy it at Amazon Spain.
And if you need something a little bit more “tele” than check out this rare 2540mm F/8 lens on sale on eBay (Click here). This lens was used by NASA to take shots of their rockets.
Our reader Hendrik sent us new images of the Sony 400mm f/2.8 OSS FE GM lens. These where taken at the Olympics in Korea.
The Sony lens will be available in September according to BHphoto. We still don’t know when Sony will unveil the final pricing. But this won’t be a cheap lens. The Canon 400mm lens is listed for $9,999 at Amazon US.
