One of my best sources confirmed that Sony’s priority is to launch new high quality primes for the Full Frame E-mount. That’s their focus on the lens roadmap. The source didn’t tell me what these lenses are but from other sources we heard these lenses are in development:
24mm f/1.4 GM
135mm FE GM
500mm and 600mm f/5.6
200-600mm (zoom)
I am sure there is also some more lens on the roadmap. Do you have any wishlist?
Today Cosina Japan announced the new Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 M-mount lens. You can use it adapted on any E-mount camera. But the chances are good that Voigtlander will announce a new E-mount version of this lens sometimes in the near future. Would be amazing or not?
This is the google translated press text from the Japanese site:
● Outstanding optical performance, adopting aspheric surfaces on 4 surfaces
By making both lens surfaces of two of the eight lenses aspherical, we realize both high-quality image quality and large aperture.● Compact style
Reducing the vignetting of the range finder by shortening the total length while having a large aperture of F1.2. Lightweight handling is realized with weight 347 g (excluding accessories).● Optional bayonet type hood
A beautiful metallic bayonet hood rich in durability is available as an option. You can choose from two types of compact type LH – 8, newly released LH – 10 with higher light shielding ability, you can choose your favorite type.● Manual focus allowing reliable focusing operation
By adopting a total metal helicoid unit machined and adjusted with high accuracy and high quality grease producing moderate torque, smooth operation feeling is realized. It enables delicate focus adjustment.Built-in rangefinder system
Seamless focusing near the aperture stop is possible by the high precision range finder interlocking mechanism.● Full-size image circle
We reserve an image circle of surplus that corresponds to 35 mm size full size. In addition, compared with the interchangeable lens for single lens reflex, it realizes a very compact style.

On top you can watch Kai’s take on the Sony A7III. And Imaging Resource published the final A7III review conclusion:
Sony keeps knocking it out of the park with their full-frame mirrorless cameras. Each generation gets better and better, and with the A7 III, especially, they’ve created an impressive all-around camera with professional-level image quality, performance and features, while at the same time maintaining a price point that’s attainable for a lot of photographers. Sure, if you need more resolution, the A7R is there; and if you need crazy-fast burst speeds, the A9 is waiting. But you’ll pay a lot for these upgrades. The Sony A7 III, on the other hand, is all about balance; it’s a “Goldilocks” camera in a way. The A7 III offers such a well-balanced mix of performance, quality and features that it suits many different types of photographers and many photographic disciplines, and it’s worth the current ~$600 premium over the Mark II model in our books. As we said earlier, if you’ve been pondering the move to a mirrorless camera, especially full-frame, the Sony A7 III should absolutely be at the top of your list.
As you can guess, the Sony A7 III definitely gets the thumbs-up as a Dave’s Pick!
