Unconfirmed 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II lens specs: $2399?

As you know within hours (August 29 at 15:00 London time) Sony will announce the A7cII, A7cR and also the 16-35mm GMII. Here are some last minute specs I got right now from a NEW source. Therefore still unclear if these are 100% legit:
  • 547g
  • 3 XA lens
  • 4 XD motor
  • Optimized for video
  • Around US2400

All I know for sure is the EU pricing which is 2699 Euro.

Hot leak: World’s first image of the new Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM lens!

A source just sent me this cropped out image of the new Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM lens. It’s clear this is the 300m GM because of the following elements:

  1. It’s a prime lens as it has no zoom ring
  2. The lens controls are in front of the tripod mount while the 400mm GM and 600mm GM have it on the back

I believe this lens will be announced within the next 4-6 months and be priced around $7,000. And if we are lucky this lens will be announced along a FANTASTIC new stacked sensor camera ;)

First leaked image of the new 16-35mm GM II lens!

One source (Thanks!) shared this firsts all image proof that the 16-35m GM II is indeed real and will be announced along the A7cII and A7cR on August 29. A second source told me this:

The reason why I called it a gimbal lens is because it has a very short barrel extension when zooming.

And a third source shared the EU pricing which will be 2299€! Be sure to subscribe our social networks to not miss any upcoming rumor:
