(SR5) This is the logo of the new Sony “G-Master” lens line! First lens is the 24-70mm f/2.8.

G-master

Yes! We have the final proof Sony is about to launch a new f/2.8 zoom series! And we also found the officially Sony trademarked logo of this new lens series called “G Master”.
Sony will soon (at CP+?) announce the first of these lenses, the 24-70mm f/2.8 GM. The document in our hands doesn’t unveil any other details of the lens but this should be a Full Frame E-mount lens. It’s yet unclear how Sony will differentiate this lens line from [shoplink 44108 ebay]current Zeiss zooms[/shoplink] or [shoplink 44109 ebay]Sony A-mount f/2.8 zooms[/shoplink]. Maybe those are powerzooms or “cine-friendly” lenses like the Zeiss Master series?

To recap Sony is “rumored” to launch many new products before or at the Cp+ show in February. These are some of the stuff that could be announced soon:
New A6100
New HX400 successor
Another new mirrorless (unclear what it is or if that is the A99 successor…)
New GM lens line (24-70mm f/2.8)
New FE roadmap with 85mm fast prime and at least a telephoto lens
Zeiss will launch the 18mm Batis

Stay tuned on SAR, its’ going to be very exciting here on SAR the coming days ;)

Thanks “Set” for spotting this!

(SR4) Sony to announce at least three new cameras: A6100, HX400 successor and a third “new mirrorless”!

Share

Back in early December a trusted source shared us the image and correct specs of the new AS50 action camera that then was launched at CES (article here). So let’s hope he is correct too on the rumor he just shared me today! He said Sony is about to announce at least three new cameras:

  1. The a6100 is coming soon
  2. There might be a successor to the [shoplink 44064 ebay]hx400[/shoplink] coming as well.
  3. he also mentioned a new mirrorless camera in the lineup…”no specifics about this one. yes…a completely new model….take this with a grain of salt, because sony is really keeping us in the dark, but it might be true.

I don’t know what that third camera could be (maybe A5xxx, A7000 or A7rIII, A99II (sort of mirrorless or not?) or maybe something completely new?).

I also do expect the new FE lens roadmap and prototypes to be shows at or shortly after the Cp+ show. There will be also a new Zeiss Batis 18mm lens.

Sony CES 2016 Behind the Scenes

10 Best Features of the Sony A7R II and A7 II (David Busch)
28mm f2 conversion lenses. Which would you choose? (SonyAlphaForum).
Best Adapter for Tamron SP 150-600? (SonyAlphaForum).
Sony make official statement on ‘perceived’ FS5 image quality issues (Newshhooter).

Federico:In the spring I have organized a photo shoot with some friends: the theme was the tradition of our land, the Po Valley in the North-West of Italy and the vast ricefields near Vercelli. The rice culture is present in our countryside for nearly a thousand years, you can imagine how deep and how strong this has shaped the land and the people. In the mid-eighteenth century, the farms became small villages, where dozens of families lived. In the spring the weeders arrived: women working in the sweltering heat of the ricefields.
Since 2004 Mr. Mario Donato has created a museum of rural culture and tradition in the farm “Colombara”: the workshops of the blacksmith and the saddler, the apartments of the farmers, the school, the old stables, the dormitory of weeders that we used as a set. As models we involved the local company of actors “The Camalli” who were dressed and made up in the style of the Po Valley countriside in the early twentieth century.
All photos were taken with my new Sony A7II and a good old Contax Zeiss 50mm f1.7.
You can see the photos on my dedicated 500px gallery https://500px.com/federanghino/galleries/italian-rice-fields-old-lifestyle
