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?

Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 specs:

• 86mm filter size (Canon is 95mm and Sony 2470GMII is 82mm)
• Weight is around 900g (Canon is 1430g and 2470GMII is 695g)
• Size similar to this lens
• IQ and AF performance superior to the Canon
• Price around $3000 (to be confirmed)

Here is a leaked image of the soon to be announced new Meike 85mm f/1.8 AF FE lens. As you can see on the image the wight is 388g. Price is rumored to be in the same ballpark of the current 55mm f/1.8 AF FE.

At last! I can confirm with 100% certainty that Sony will be announcing the new Sony A1II flagship camera and a new Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 GM zoom on November 19th at 2pm London time!

As for the specs of the Sony A1II, I’m still working on final confirmation so please be aware that I’m not 100% sure of the following details yet:

Likely (but still not 100% confirmed) Sony A1II specs:

• 50MP Full-Frame Exmor RS BSI CMOS Sensor (same of the Sony A1)
• Sony A9III body
• New AI chip
• faster frame rate and faster autofocus
• More expensive than the current Sony A1
• New CFexpress Type A with 4.0 standard (doubles the speed)
• C2PA support for content authentication.
• Availability in early 2025 only

Sony’s first f/2.0 zoom lens:

• Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 Full Frame GM lens will be more compact than the Canon 28-70mm lens
• Price around $3,000

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?

Well folks, I’m very busy these days, but I’ve taken a day off tomorrow, October 29, to discuss the rumors about the Sony announcement on November 19. There will be a livestream at 3pm for this (see video on top). I know you guys hate these teasers, but I have to be online to share and discuss these types of important rumors. What can you expect from me tomorrow?

• The names of the gear that will be announced (yes, there is not just ONE thing)
• The specs are not 100% confirmed yet, but I will discuss the “unconfirmed” information tomorrow.

One thing is for sure, you’re going to need a lot of $$$ for the new Sony gear coming on November 19 (Easteregg here).
