(SR3) Sony announcement this week?

Share
Last week three Chinese sources said that Sony would launch two new FE lenses soon. One being the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM and another lens with “unexpected” specs. Well one of the three sources wrote this today
“important products coming this week, you guys need to save more money.”
He didn’t mention the brand so it could be from other companies as well. Just a reminder: SR3 ranked rumor means this is not a rumor coming via our known and trusted sources. So keep expectations low. What our sources told us is to not expect a new A7rIII or A7III any time soon. More about it coming on SAR this week….

Craig: “a documentary film was aired today that I shot all of the stills for with the Sony a7s, a7rII and a6000, including the movie poster. The filmmakers (who are separate from me—I just did the stills) also used Sony cameras and lenses, they used the FS7. The a7rII I used was rented because it wasn’t even available yet for purchase, so I literally used it on a job and without testing it first, and it performed nearly flawlessly. Now it’s a totally proven camera.
Here’s a link to the trailer: https://medium.com/hbo-cinemax-pr/rock-and-a-hard-place-debuts-march-27-on-hbo-456d91549694”

Roland: “I was with a RX100V & A7RII (and DJI Mavic) in Patagonia. Most of time I used the RX100V, a perfect travel camera! i love the quality and the dynamic range of this small sensor. I wrote a small review (german): http://www.rolandmichels.com/patagonien-roadmovie/“
