New Rumors recap: A7000, A7sIII, new lenses…

Share

Time for a recap before we post some new rumors:

Sony A7000:
One source heard the camera might be announced before Christmas. But so far I got no confirmation from other sources and no new Sony camera has yet been registered in Asia neither.
The little we know about this camera is that it has an EVF in the center and that it’s going to be a sort of mini-A9. Likely specs: 4k60p, 5.6 milion dot EVF and 20fps. Sony officially confirmed that developing professional APS-C camera is a must.

Sony A7sIII:
As told by Sony this camera will arrive in 2019. For sure it has 4k60p, 4:2:2 10bit (external), 5.6 milion dot EVF, new stacked sensor. Sony also said it will have some “unexpected” features. Unclear what they could be.

Sony FE lenses:
135mm f/1.8 likely to be announced along the A7000 or in early 2019.
New APS-C E-mount lens will be announced along the A7000.
Sony patented a new 500mm and 600mm f/4.0 FE lens. One of them could be announced in 2019.
Sony 200-600mm FE is also on the roadmap.

Tamron FE:
100-400mm 5-6.3 and 70-200mm f/2.8 FE could be announced in 2019.

Sigma FE:
Sigma will announce the first FF lenses exclusively designed for mirrorless in 2019.

Anonymous:

  • Batis 2/40 CF currently has some hiccups with Eye-AF and AF with focus magnifier, yes.
  • Zeiss is aware of the problem and is investigating the possible cause if it is lens, body or something else. This is on high priority.
  • Batis 2/40 CF stops maximum of two stops at the MFD. So, f/2 becomes f/4 (not f/8). This happens to sustain high image quality. There are other lenses that does this too, Sony ones too (ie. a common practice with some lenses).
  • Someone have had a rough customer experience with Zeiss, but currently Zeiss admits that there is a problem and is investigating it. If it is a lens, quite likely a firmware update will fix it.
