WILD RUMOR: Will Sony announce an updated 400mm f/2.8 lens in 2025

Share

A source just told me that Sony plans to announce a new updated version of the current 400mm f/2.8 GM lens. Apparently the aim is to make it better than the competition like the Nikon 400mm 2.8. The lens was announce back in 2018 so an update is certainly possible to happen in 2025.

If sources have more info about this (or any other product launch) please drop me a message using this contact box or at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

For a couple of hours you got the Sony A7cR with a superb $800 discount at Amazon US. I am not sure if this was a mistake and/or if this deal will be back today.

Thanks Nerose for the tip!
