On Reddit someone posted this very first image of the future Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 FE lens! This will be Viltrox second “LAB” series after the just officially launched 135mm f/1.8 FE which is available for reorder since this week at Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here).
After this 35mm lens we will also get those:
AF50mm F1.2 LAB
AF85mm F1.2 LAB
And, what do you think about this new lens?
Reminder: Viltrox launched a major discount on all their E-mount lenses
$135 off on the new 135mm f/1.8 LAB FE lens at Amazon.
I only got some small additional new tidbits about the upcoming Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 GM lens:
zoom only extends by about a centimeter
lots of software correction
minimum focus distance is very good
Recap of the Rumored Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 specs:
86mm filter size
weight around 900gram
zoom extends by around 1cm
Price around $3000?
This lens will be announced on November 19 along the Sony A1II.If you happen to have detailed info on both products send me a message using this contact box or at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

An anonymous source just sent me this image of the 28-70mm f/2.0 GM lens. I have yet not been able to confirm if this is real or not. What do you think about this?
Hard to get a real idea of the size of this lens with the had cut off. That “FE 2” looks a bit overblown…don’t know if it’s because it’s a prototype or because of a weird compression-angle from the JPG image. Maybe some of my trusted sources can confirm if this is the real deal or not?
I got very good news for you! A couple of sources (Thanks!) confirmed the new Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 GM lens is surprisingly compact. Here is the info I got:

WILD rumors and probably FALSE:
Got some wild totally unconfirmed rumors on a possible new wildlife lens (maybe an update of the 100-400mm GM).
99% bullshit rumor: New RX1rIII fixed lens 3000 dollar camera (I am near certain it’s BS)
Quick thoughts on the new gear
My take on the Sony A1II:
It will be hard to swallow the fact that this could be a $7,500-$8000 camera. But I’m told that Sony has improved every aspect of the camera and that the sum of the improvements and new features will make it a worthwhile upgrade. So let’s wait until I get the full detailed spec list before to draw conclusions.
My take on the Sony 28-70mm f/2.0:
My originally rumor from 10 months ago said this could be a 24-70mm f/2.0. But Sony is going for the 28-70mm probably to keep the size as small as possible. What do you think is this a god trade off for you?
Let me know in the comment system what your thoughts and expectations are!
CameraBeta leaked this image of an upcoming new Samyang 35mm lens. The aperture has not been mentioned but I guess it’s f/1.4. This could be a new version of the current Samyang 35mm f/1.4 FE lens?
