Dear SOURCE: Thanks again for the info! A couple of questions
This is the only way to contact back the source that shared an info through the anonymous contact form. A couple of questions:
- Only one or BOTH cameras will be announced on that date you mentioned?
- Any info on new lenses coming too?
- Possible for you to setup a new anonymous gmail so that you can contact me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com instead of using the contact form?
Thanks again for your help! Will as usual be careful with everything you said…maybe one day we meet for real in some hut on the alps :)

Samyang 24-70mm f/2.8 FE test by Lenstip: “didn’t impress me with its performance”
Samyang 24-70mm f/2.8 FE: In USA at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU, WexUK. FotoKoch DE. FotoErhardt DE.
Lenstip reviewed the Samyang 24-70mm f/2.8 FE and concluded:
I have to admit the Samyang AF 24–70 mm f/2.8 FE didn’t impress me with its performance. During our test we noticed too many slip-ups and medium results for a good contemporary lens with the journalistic 24-70 mm f/2.8 parameters. Mind you, its dimensions and weight are noticeably higher than those of the majority of its rivals.
As a kind of consolation, you get the price – currently the tested Samyang can be bought for about $800, noticeably less than its cheapest rival, the Sigma A 24-70 mm f/2.8 DG DN which is priced as high as over $1100. The prices of brand name lenses of this class start from $1600.
