The two images you see here have been taken with two different “top secret” FE lenses! Jason did remove all EXIF data and not share any spec info on Facebook. So it’s SAR readers duty to guess what the lens on top is and what the lens below is. MY guess:
On top the 24-70mm f/2.8 G lens
Below the 85mm f/1.4 G lens
As a reminder: Sony scheduled a product announcement event for January 5!
What’s in the bag of Jason Lanier? At minute 4.55 Jason answers the a readers question and he admits he has some “top secret” lenses in it he cannot talk about. But adds that they “are coming out soon”!
Maybe January 5 at CES will be really the day to see those new FE lenses announced!

Andrè: “This holiday video was shot on the A7S in summer 2015 in Croatia! A beautiful destination! It was a great challenge to try and capture a variety of shots with 50 people! But with a small full frame camera like the A7S it was quite effortless simply because of its portability. Sony really started something special with their A7 range. Something I believe many of their rivals are rushing to imitate! Please share this link with the SAR community to see.

Time Stood Still – An Extreme Low Light Video – Sony a7SII & SLR Magic 50mm f/1.1 from Johnnie Behiri on Vimeo.
The new SLRmagic 50mm f/1.1 FE lens was actually supposed to ship on December 10 according to BHphoto (Click here). But after some concern raised by early reviewers SLR Magic sent a message to Cinema5D:
From the two weeks of real life testing by several testers, we received 3 main concerns.
– Corner softness at infinity
– Sharpness at f/1.1
– Lens flare
We are currently making some changes within our capability to address the issues. The new changes would improve corner sharpness at infinity by approximately 20% but do not expect perfection after the changes. Sharpness at f/1.1 is not affected. Lens flare would be addressed with an optional lens hood.
So it’s yet unclear when the lens will actually ship.

Hello Andrea, I am a small company that for the last 1 1/2 years have been designing and testing some very unique products, I have been selling the worlds first soft rubber Eyecup for both of the Sony A7/A7R/A7S series and the newer A7II/A7RII/A7SII/A77MII cameras.
Since I am a small company and would like you to post letting other Sony users about what I have for the Sony cameras, all of my products came from my need to improve and enhance the usage of the small Sony cameras and my first problem was with having large fingers and wearing gloves when it was below zero and taking pictures also in the night for Astrophotography was using the small Sony buttons and so I design my Button Enhancers to help when working with the small buttons. I also designed my Lens Release Mount & Lens Mounting Button Enhancer System and this allows me to release and mount any lens or Ext tube or the Samyang & Rokinon lenses are very hard to mount in low or in the dark.
Rubber Eyecup Soft for Sony A7II/A7RII/A7SII/A77MII Cameras GREAT Video Usage

Thank you very much Andrea

Ubergizmo got that official invitation from Sony. On January 5 Sony will have a major press release with product announcement. As you can see on the image we have a Sony A7rII camera. So maybe maybe maybe we will finally get a clue about the new Sony FE lenses and A6xxx? Sony delayed the FE lens roadmap presentation this autumn. Probably because of roadmap changes to satisfy the customers demand of fast primes and fast zooms.
FE lens rumored so far are:
24-70mm f/2.8 G
85mm f/1.4 G
24-70mm GM (compact zoom)
new telephoto lens
