SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Tamron lens and concluded:

Its ergonomics are very good with many buttons (AF/MF, Focus distance limiter, Optical stab switch, Panning mode) but also strap lugs, a tripod collar with an integrated Arca Swiss plate , a zoom lock. Unfortunately it miss the focus hold button that you can customise that you can find on Sony and Sigma
The image quality is very good : very good sharpness, soft background blur, very good color rendition, very good AF globally (with a few exception for erratic movement at close distance)

Here are two new video reviews:

Real footage of the A1 and ASIII in the garden. No review, only results. The first half is out of hand with the A1 without post stabilization, 4K 60p in 30p in the video. The second half partly in 8K and dynamic zoom in Davinci Resolve.
Real On a weekend at the end of April, after a lot of rainfall, lush greenery and numerous flowers in the garden. Just to enjoy!
Filmed with Sony alpha 1 and S3 in 4k and 8K, from 1fps to 240fps
Lenses: Sony 20-105mm GM, Zeiss Batis 135mm, Voigtländer 65mm Macro and Sony 28-60mm

New patents: Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG DN lens and new Tamron 16-70mm, 20-72mm, 28-72mm (all f/4.0) Full Frame lenses

Image on top shows the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG DN lens construction

Today four new Full Frame lens patents surfaced in Japan:

  1. Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG DN
  2. Tamron 16-70mm f/4.0
  3. Tamron 20-72mm f/4.0
  4. Tamron 28-72mm f/4.0

The Sigma would be certainly a nice and cheaper alternative to the Sony 135mm GM. And the 28-75mm f/4.0 would make sense as cheap travelzoom option.
