(UPDATED) Venus will launch a new 12mm f/2.8 A and E-mount lens

A source sent me these three images. They are made with a yet not announced new “native Sony mount” lens. It’s a lens made by a third-party manufacturer. The source did not mention the name of the company and specs of the lens. But he sent me three images show on that lens!
