Let’s go crazy on rumors: Super wild (and probably BS?) rumors about a new Sony 85mm f/1.0 GM lens!

Share

As you know I have been the first to tell you that Sony want’s to surprise the photographic world with a lens that has never been made before:

24-70mm f/2.0 GM Full Frame AF lens

Two trusted source confirmed this lens will be announced soon. I don’t have an exact date yet but it could be announced as early as in June. In June we will also get a new 85mm f/1.4 GM II..that also has been confirmed!

-> Warning: Now this is the part where the reliable rumors end: What I want to talk about now are two rumors I got from two different Asian new sources. Those are CRAZY and unconfirmed rumors. So do NOT hold me accountable for those!

Both told me that Sony wants to launch a SUPERFAST lens…faster than f/1.2! As you know, the fastest AUTOFOCUS lenses on the market are f/1.2. The only AF lens ever made that is f/1.0 is the Canon EF 50mm f/1.0 L USM. Having an AF lens at f/1.0 or f/0.95 would be an incredible achievement. Sure, this lens would be big and expensive–but it would also create a web buzz that would last for months, if not years! A bold marketing move to focus attention on the E-mount system. So here is the big question for you:

Should Sony make a f/1.0 (or f/0,95) autofocus prime lens?

Grouped by manufacturer we have:

  • 8 Sony cameras
  • 7 Nikon cameras

What’s interesting from those chart is:

  • OM Digital still doing ok in Japan
  • No Panasonic camera in the chart (despite having quite some affordable and very good models)
  • I suspect Fujifilm would have a lot better result if the X100VI would be in Stock
  • Sony still selling a lot of that ZV-E10 vlogger camera
