RUMOR: Sony is rumored to announce three new APS-C E lenses within the next weeks: Two far primes and a zoom!
Guess when Sony announced the last new APS-C E-mount lens? It was the Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 (image on top) back on Aug 28, 2019!
Now, to my surprise one reliable source told me that Sony might announced three(!) new APS-C lenses in May/June. These should be TWO FAST PRIMES and ONE ZOOM !!!
I hope other sources can confirm the rumor because I would hate this to be wrong. It’s about time Sony releases new APS-C lenses and cameras!

Samyang 35mm F1.4 AF II review at SonyAlphaBlog: “much better in term of sharpness”
Samyang 35mm f/1.4 II lens at BHphoto (Click here).
SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Samyang 35mm II lens and concluded:
The Samyang is priced at 700 euros vs 830 euros for the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN which is much better in term of sharpness , has a real aperture ring and a better AF for subjects in movements. I see therefore no reason to buy the Samyang 35 unless for video thanks to its low focus breathing
If the price goes down to 450-500 then it will be a good price for the performances. Also if you don’t need the f1.4 the Samyang 35mm F1.8 offers better performances (better sharpness) for 400 euros in a more compact and much lighter format
In term of best 35mm The Sigma and Sony are excellent and in 80% of the case you can not distinguish them , they all have excellent sharpness, smooth background blur, excellent bokeh balls, color rendering ….
