At the NAB show 7artisans announced this new 40mm f/2.5 Full Frame E-mount lens. There is yet no info about pricing and availability.

The new Astrhori 6.5mm f/2.0 E-mount lens is now available at BHphoto and Pergear store.

I just received triple confirmation about a big Sony announcement happening soon. This is NOT for the successor to the A7IV camera…. this will be an epic lens ;)

So I am going to drop the rumor tomorrow or after tomorrow at 3pm London time. I am currently on a short holiday trip with the family so I don’t know exactly when I can post a Youtube video on my channel.

I repeat…this is a lens we have never seen before!

Today Sony shares dropped by 10%. Since the start of the “tariff war” Sony shared stropped by over 20%. We now have to see how this will also impact the Alpha camera and lens roadmap…
