Right in time for the July 10 announcement: Sony E PZ 16-50mm marked as discontinued!
Yesterday I told you that on July 10 Sony will announce the new ZV-E10II and a redesigned 16-50mm lens. So it makes sense to read that in Japan the current 16-50mm lens has been marked as discontinued (Source: Asobinet).
Sony will announce these three products soon: ZV-E10II, new 16-50mm zoom and new 85mm f/1.4 GM II
Sony has three products that will be announced soon:
Sony ZV-E10II
- same 26MP A6700 sensor.
Sony E 16-50mm F/3.5-5.6 OSS II
- new version of the current 16-50mm lens
Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II
- lighter, more compact and optically much improved successor of the current 85mm GM
The ZV-E10II and the kit lens will be announced on July 10. The 85mm GM I am not sure if it’s coming on July 10th or before/after that event (all I know is that it’s coming very soon too).

I keep receiving info about the 85mm GM coming soon…
Short update: Two more sources confirmed the new 85mm f/1.4 GM II is coming. Still don’t have the release date but it really sounds very close. So I don’t know if the 85mm GM is coming before the ZV-E10II launch on July 10 or a tiny bit later…
