In 2025 Sony will launch two new lenses that will be a “first” in the E-mount range!

Share

I have had almost final confirmation of two new lenses coming from Sony. One is a prime and the other is a zoom. I hope to tell you more about them soon, but today I can tell you that both will not be a successor to existing lenses–they will be a “first” in the E-mount range ;)

There will be also 1-2 lenses that will be an update of existing zooms. One might be a successor of a GM zoom?

Of course there will be also the usual mass of new third party lenses including a new kind of telephoto lens made by Sigma. 2025 promises to be exciting and I hope I can get a final confirmation on the first two Sony E-mount lens specs!

SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Samyang 35mm f/1.4 FE lens and concluded:

The Samyang 35mm f1.4 AF Prima (600 euros) is an upgraded version from the Samyang 35mm F1.4 AF II (700 euros). it is cheaper, lighter, more compact, a bit sharper but has downgraded ergonomics
Overall image quality is very good to excellent (on 33Mpix sensor) , color rendering, bokeh, background blur are very good. Improvement points are the sharpness wide open on 61Mpix, level of CA , Resistance to flare , Vignetting

And this is Artur’s review of the lens:
