I got one more confirmation the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens has been developed by Sony. There is even an indirect confirmation from a Sony photographer at the Photokina show (youtube video here in German). When showing the 16-35mm f/4.0 lens he says: “Here we have a 16-35 f4. For the beginning. I didn’t say that…”

I just wonder when Sony will announce the lens. Why? because just recently Sony had to delay the 70-200mm GM shipment by up to three months! Don’t know if there is a production chain issue or really a high demand as stated by Sony.

The three current GM lenses are:
24-70mm GM store links: [shopcountry 47915].
85mm GM store links: [shopcountry 48072]
70-200mm GM store links: [shopcountry 48791]
