Share

I just got this rumor but I have to yet confirm it with other sources. So it’s not 100% reliable yet. But according to that source Sony will announce two new GM lenses at Photokina:

Sony 24mm F/1.4 GM FE
Sony 135mm F/1.8 GM FE

I hope to be able to post more info about these lenses soon.  The sources did not tell me anything about a possible camera release. I hope he can tell me if both the A6700 and A7sIII will be announced at Photokina or PhotoPlus. Thanks!

Nick:

Hey, this is Nick Smyth. I’m a popular Instagrammer with a rapidly growing YouTube channel focused on photography education and gear reviews. I just made an announcement for a new project I’m working on and I was hoping you would be willing to cover it and share with your readers.

To summarize for you, I’m making a TV show for photographers by photographers. The show is called Bokeh and Brews. The premise is each episode I meet with a different professional photographer at a local coffee-house, bar or brewery and we have an interview focused on their life, work, and challenges we all face in the industry. Afterwards we accompany the photographer on a shoot and they teach a crash course on their workflow and style. The goal is to provide free, high quality, easily accessible education to photographers all over the world.
We’re going to fund the project through IndieGoGo and right now we’re in a pre-launch campaign where we’re collecting emails for those who would like to be involved in helping make it happen. We’re also doing a free giveaway for a professional camera, the winner can choose between a Sony A7RIII, a Nikon D850, a Canon 5D Mark IV or a Fujifilm X-H1 with a 56mm 1.2 lens.
I wanted to send this to you because when we reach funding we’re going to be buying all Sony cameras for video! Hopefully the A7SIII will be out by then!
Here’s the links to the announcement video, the indiegogo, the giveaway and my Instagram.
I’m really excited about this project and I want this to be a huge success, so it would mean a lot to me if you would share this news with your readers. Thank you so much for your time.

These are the lenses that are likely to be announced in 2018 and 2019:

(SR4) Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM FE
Probably coming at Photokina. The lens launch got delayed from Spring to Photokina because of noise issues. The new developed version will be slightly larger.

(SR4) Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 FE lens:
This lens could be announced at Photokina.

I heard the 200-600mm FE is on the Sony roadmap and that it should be announced some time after the 400mm FE availability.

(SR3) 500mm and 600mm f/4.0 GM FE:
Both lenses are being developed by Sony and one of these could be announced in late 2019 at earliest.

(SR4) 135mm FE GM:
The lens is scheduled to be released in 2019. I am not 100% sure about the aperture but it should be f/1.8.

One more Samyang AF lens will be announced this year

New super wide FE lens and and new FE zoom to be announced between Photokina and early 2019
