Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II announcement within a couple of weeks…

Share

Another source told me that the new Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II will be announced within a few weeks. I don’t know yet whether it will be announced together with the ZV-E10II on July 10 or at a separate event (I think so). All we know about the new lens is that it will be more compact than its predecessor but with substantially improved image quality.
