On the web I found many comments and suggestions on how Sony should improve their E-mount strategy to not give up market shares to the soon to be launched new Nikon FF mirrorless system camera. I did create a POLL with the suggestion I read on the web. Of course some of these ideas are non-realistic or nonsense but this is what I found:

Dru: “First of all, love the site. You do a great job. Second, I am a Sony shooter who recently shot a music video with the Sony a6300, Sony a7ii, and the Zhiyun Crane. I would love to show people what can be done with a relatively simple set up. Sony is the best!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPABwvZnCi8 <– this is the link. Enjoy. Please send feedback.“
Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki confirmed the dual E-mount strategy (minute 9.26):
They will keep developing APS-C E-mount lenses
They are working on new Full Frame E-mount lenses
Reminder What we know so far from Sigma’s FE plan:
Sigma is preparing the launch of two new lenses
The first lens is rumored to be a 35mm f/1.4 (or f/1.2) FE autofocus lens. The size will be somewhere in between the current Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 and the Zeiss 35mm f/2.8
The second Sigma FE lens could be a zoom lens
Rumored release period for the first lens is Q4 2017
