Meike will soon announce this new 35mm f/2.0 Full Frame autofocus E-mount lens. There will be also a Z and L-mount version of this. There is yet no info about pricing but this should cost a bit less than $200 like some similar lenses they already sell on Amazon and on their Global Store.
According to multiple trusted sources Sony will have a product announcement event on August 28. For sure we are getting the new Sony 85mmf /1.4 GM II I already leaked in my previous posts.
Sources did not get any info about possible additional products coming on that day. So for now it seems this is all we are getting. The same sources told me that right after we should get a new FX camera (likely FX9 successor) and a new 24-70mm f/2.0 GM lens. After that the first Alpha camera which is definitely NOT the Sony A7V ;)
My trusted sources tell me that in late August Sony will announce the new 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens. And finally there is a first leaked image of the lens!
As you can see from these low-resolution images, the lens has a new customizable button, a new rubber ring over the aperture marks. It looks like the lens may be a bit shorter than the old 85mm f/1.4 GM from 7 years ago. Reliable sources have told me that the lens is also lighter and certainly much improved optically.
Soon after the announcement of the Sony 85mm GM we will have a new Sony FX camera, a new 24-70mm f/2.0 and a new Alpha Full Frame E-mount camera. So stay tuned to SAR:… there will be fun to be had!

I have an exclusive rumor to share today! Multiple trusted sources confirmed that in early September we are getting the following new lens:
This has the potential to become a very popular lens like the Canon 24-105mm f/2.8. Yes, the Canon has a much more useful 24mm at the wide end but I have been told the Sigma weights less, is more compact and more importantly much cheaper!
I hope to get some images of this lens soon. If you happen to find some images please contact me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com or use this contact box.
That said, what do you think about this lens?

Trusted sources have confirmed that the Sony A7V will not be launched until 2025. They did not share reliable specs yet, but a new source shared this information today. Since it’s a new source, the rumor could be completely false. But it is based on the REAL IMX366 sensor, which could indeed be perfect for this camera. The new source wrote:
The Sony A7IV was announced in October 2021 and had a price tag of 2799 Euro (now it’s 2200 Euro at Amazon). So I think it’s likely the price will be close to 3000 Euro.
As I told you at the beginning of this article, the source is new, so do not hold me responsible for this. However, if I may guess, I think it is possible that the sensor will be included in the A7V. The official features listed by Sony are:
So what do you think, would an increase to 44MP be justified?
There are now very wild rumors around the web that Tamron will announce a new 28-180 mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD lens in September. I have no idea if this is BS rumor or not, but if this turns out to be true, we will get a lens that no one else has tried before. The only lens that comes somewhat close is the Canon 24-105mm f/2.8. The Tamron would trade off the (very useful) 24mm at the wide end for a much longer 180mm tele focal length. I guess this would make the lens bigger than the Canon.
I can see this as a useful lens for indoor event shooters that need both flexibility and fast aperture. What do you think…does such a lens make sense to you?

On August 7 Viltrox will announce this new Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 VCM pancake lens. Minimum shooting distance: 0.32m. There is yet no additional info like pricing and so forth. But I think this could be a nice lens for Sony A7C camera owners don’t you think so?
