Image above shows the [shoplink 48572]A-mount Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 lens[/shoplink]

The following rumor is from a new source (Thanks!). I had no time to verify the reliability of the info yet so take it with a grain of salt. But I figured I should post this now because the source says a new Sony announcement is imminent:

New portrait lens is coming. It will be FE 135 G Master lens. Definitely faster than latest Batis – f/2 or even f/1.8. It is in deep development state now so specification is not known yet.
16-35 f/2.8 is ready and will be presented very soon – less than the month

All we know so far from trusted sources is that the 16-35mm GM is ready for announcement. The 135mm FE rumor is also not really new and of course it makes sense for Sony to launch an E-mount version of their glorious [shoplink 48572]A-mount Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 lens[/shoplink].

But let me repeat again: So far trusted sources did not confirm the rumored May launch of the new GM lens or the development of a new 135mm FE lens.

I guess many are hoping to get this: A Sony A9r :)

The Sony A9 created a lot of excitement but we brainless rumor-addicted SAR consumers want to focus on what’s coming next right?

Let’s start with FE lenses:
The last eight months all our FE lens rumors were spot on: 100mm STF, 85mm f/1.8 FE, 100-400mm FE. The only rumored lens still “missing” is the 16-35mm GM. I guess it will be announced in June (hope trusted sources will read this post and confirm it)
I have yet no info about other new FE lenses but I have been told there are still many more lenses to come in 2017.

Cameras:
What we know for sure is that Sony registered two cameras in February. One got announced (the Sony A9) and the other one is likely to be announced some times in June. We have no info about this camera. Is it a new RX camera, a new A5xxxx or a new A7rIII/A9r?
I have been told that 2017 is the year of lenses. I suppose this means we don’t have to expect Sony to update all their current A7 camera range. The only camera I heard about being in final development stage is a new High Megapixel camera with most of the Sony A9 body changes. But sources did yet not tell me when this one is going to be announced.

New Sigma/Zeiss/Samyang Sony lenses:
There will be new Zeiss FE lenses. I got some early info about those that I will post soon on SAR ;)
Sigma is developing their new range of FE lenses. Those are completely newly designed and I hope to get some details about the first lens specs soon.
Samyang will also soon launch the new 35mm f/2.8 AF lens (images can be seen here). UPDATE: Forgot to mentione there will be new Voigtlander lenses too :)
