Here is a leaked image of the soon to be announced new Meike 85mm f/1.8 AF FE lens. As you can see on the image the wight is 388g. Price is rumored to be in the same ballpark of the current 55mm f/1.8 AF FE.
At last! I can confirm with 100% certainty that Sony will be announcing the new Sony A1II flagship camera and a new Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 GM zoom on November 19th at 2pm London time!
As for the specs of the Sony A1II, I’m still working on final confirmation so please be aware that I’m not 100% sure of the following details yet:
Likely (but still not 100% confirmed) Sony A1II specs:

WILD rumors and probably FALSE:
Quick thoughts on the new gear
My take on the Sony A1II:
It will be hard to swallow the fact that this could be a $7,500-$8000 camera. But I’m told that Sony has improved every aspect of the camera and that the sum of the improvements and new features will make it a worthwhile upgrade. So let’s wait until I get the full detailed spec list before to draw conclusions.
My take on the Sony 28-70mm f/2.0:
My originally rumor from 10 months ago said this could be a 24-70mm f/2.0. But Sony is going for the 28-70mm probably to keep the size as small as possible. What do you think is this a god trade off for you?
Let me know in the comment system what your thoughts and expectations are!

The new Remaster lens is now available for reorder under the “Rokinon” brand at BHphoto (Click here).
SonyAlphaBlog recently tested this lens and concluded:
The Samyang Remaster slim (420 euros) is a very enjoyable lens to use. With a pancake form factor , Efficient AF ,and the choice of 3 focal length (21mm F3.5, 28mm F3.5, 32mm F2.8) that can be stored in a small pocket , it will be ideal for street photography or for vlog. Paired with an A7C or A7CII it will be the smallest combo you could dream of in full frame with interchangeable lenses. To note a very good color rendering in general , nice background blur effect thanks to the very short min focusing distance, and very good ergonomics.
