Sony manager Otaka spilled out some info about the future Sony product launch cycle. He said:
今後は新しいボディが出たら新しいレンズが出る、新しいレンズが出たら新しいボディが出る、といった感じに思っていてほしい。
which translated means:
“From now on, if we release a new body, we’ll release a new lens. If we release a new lens, we’ll release a new body.”
The latest two Sony announcements where about new lenses “only” (Zeiss Planar FE in July and the 50mm FE and 70-300mm FE in May). So it’s great to hear we are now getting new cameras too!

What’s the best Macro lens between the Nikon, Canon Zeiss lenses and the [shoplink 48071]Sony 90mm FE[/shoplink]? Lensrentals compared them all and the conclusion is:
The Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro totally shocked me. It’s clearly better at all frequencies at macro distances. In fact, it’s the highest resolving off all these lenses at macro distances, at least in the image center. I’m not certain if it’s related or just coincidence, but the Sony lens has electronic motors controlling both the focusing and the compensating element. As best I know, all of the other macro lenses tested have mechanical movements of the compensating elements.
