(SR3) Sony rumored to finally launch the 16-55mm f/2.8 APS-C E-mount lens in 2018?

Share

This info comes from a source whom shared a couple of correct rumors in the past but also was wrong one the A7sIII rumor he shared in September. So this means we have to take it with a grain of salt. But I certainly hope he is right on track with reliable rumors when it comes to the info he just shared:

Part of roadmap for this year contains lenses:
400/2.8 FE (confirmed)
16-55/2.8 E
135 f? FE

Part of roadmap for this year contains cameras:
a5x00
a7s3
a73

Next Samyang lens should also be 135mm probably f/2.8.

Thanks to the source for this!

Matt Granger names the Sony A7rIII camera of the year. And Engadget too

Share

Matt Granger can surely not be suspected to be a Sony fanboy. He is a long time Nikon shooter and tried years ago to switch over to Sony but did regret this step because of multiple reasons (poor Sony service was the main reason). Well times are changing and after testing the A7rIII in Perù he concluded that this is the camera of the year.

I know Matt is heavily invested in Nikon and the A7rIII is still not enough to force him to switch. But let’s hope future Sony improvements will make him go back to Sony again :)

And Engadget also says the A7rIII is the best camera you can get:
