(SR2) New Sony 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SAM coming?

[shoplink 6885][/shoplink]

I just received a new message from a new source. Because the source is new please take the rumor with a grain of salt. He said:

“Sony will introduce a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SAM telephoto lens (SAL-70300) to replace the current [shoplink 6885]Konica-Minolta designed 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 (SAL-75300)[/shoplink]. It is currently designated “budget teleconversion lens“”

Message for the new source: When is Sony going to announce that lens? Thanks!

P.S.: Links to the current Sony 75.300mm lens to [shopcountry 6885].

Reminder (SR = Sonyrumor):
