According to one source Sony will disclose a new FE lens roadmap right before Photokina. And he said there will be certainly a fast 85mm prime. He didn’t unveil specs and pricing info about the lens. Very unreliable rumor floating around the web say this could be a Zeiss 85mm f/1.8 lens. One thing is sure: Sony FE lens designer Naoki Miyagawa said he is “dreaming” about an ultra fast 85mm FE lens (Source: Lesnumeriques –google translation here).
