(SR4) Sony likely to announce a new new wildlife/sports lens on June 5/6!

Share

I am no 90% certain that on June 5/6 Sony will announce at least one new E-mount lens. I still have no info about other possible new lenses or even a camera.

I am 80% certain that there might be a new FE wildlife/sports lens. I have no specs but we had some patents and previous rumors about 500 and 600mm f/4.0 lenses and a 200-600mm FE lens. But like I said I have no specs yet so this wildlife lens might have another focal range and aperture.

Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 tested: Sharp and with fast autofocus!

Share


image by  Trần Gia Hy

The German Magazine fotomagazin.de tested the new Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8. This is what they think:

  • It has a tight zoom ring
  • lens hood is made of plastic
  • Autofocus works very quick
  • The lens is sharp even wide open
  • Some wavy distortion at 17mm and pincushion distortion at 28mm. But it’s easy to correct.
  • Some vignetting at 17mm aperture which is gone at 28mm

Price of the lens is 999 Euro….not mentioned by the magazin…but I know it :)

The lens is listed with no pricing at BHphoto, FocusCamera and Adorama.

Double Sony press events: on May 31 (no E-mount gear) and June 5/6 (with new E-mount gear)

Share

Folks we have two Sony press events ahead of us:

May 31 event:
Sony will have a press event at the Cinegear show. But I  think there will be no new E-mount gear announced on that event. Seems like Sony’s focus is on their classic camcorder business and Venice ecosystem.
Don’t think there will be a video livestream for that. But if there is one I will post it on SAR

June 5/6 event:
With 100% certainty we will get one (or more?) new E-mount products. I should get some more details about what to expect in the next hours. I am 90% certain there will be no A9II or A7sIII announcement on that event.
There should be a live stream and I will embed it on SAR.
