RUMOR: Sony will announce one new lens in October/November and then two fast GM primes in early 2021

Share

This comes via reliable sources:

  • Sony will announce one new FE lens in October/November
  • The rumored two super fast FE primes will be on market in early 2021 at earliest.

I may get some more info about all those three lenses soon…stay tuned on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and chat with me live on Discord to not miss any rumors!

UPDATE: About future Sony cameras:

  • No new E-mount camera will be announced in October/November
  • Sony recently registered a new camera but this may be a new RX model because registration was made in China first (suggesting it’s a low end model).
