(SR5) UPDATED: The next Sony announcement is not about a new A7 or A9 camera

There is now some chatter that Sony will unveil “something” this week (Correction: announcement in 2-3 weeks!). I am now sure we will not get a new A7 or A9 camera but rather something else.

Let’s speculate: This could be a new E-mount camcorder, E-mount lens or E-mount accessory (LAE adapter?). Or maybe a major firmware update? Or what else could it be?

Next Tamron 60mm f/2.8 FE lens patent

Tamron keeps patenting designs for Full Frame mirrorless system cameras (aka Sony FE). Egami spotted a new 60mm f/2.8 FE lens design patent. The recent months Tamron published five FE lens designs:
28mm f/2.8
28-70mm f/3.5-5.6
28-320mm f/3.5-6.3
50mm f/2.8
60mm f/2.8

It’s not clear if Tamron planes to introduce these lenses with their own name or if they will sell the design to Sony or Zeiss.
