Don’t get excited. It would be too good if true. The 70-200mm GM sells for 1.200 Euro at Amazon Germany (Click here). This is certainly an error made by the store. The price and in Stock status indicates this must the older f/4.0 FE version!

Note: The new 24-70mm and 85mm Gm lenses will ship in 1-2 weeks from now.

A6300 body at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, BestBuy. Calumetphoto.de. Amazon.de. WexUK. Jessops. Amazon.fr.

(SR2) Sony rumored to announce a new 18-105mm PZ E-mount Cine Lens.

Share

Bildschirmfoto 2016-03-27 um 10.49.13

Current FS5 and FS7 owners certainly miss a PZ lens which suites for the sensor size of their camcorder. The current Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Lens is not wide enough for them. So let’s hope this rumor is correct. I got this from an anonymous source who also sent me the new FF E-mount camcorder rumor (article here). I have no confirmations from reliable sources so pelase take it as usual with a grain of salt. The source writes:

Just heard from an industry source that Sony are producing an updated G-Master E PZ Cine Lens 18-105mm due around Nab 2016 (Editos’r note: Updated version of the Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Lens)
My Source was not sure of the final f-stop except that it would be Parafocal and maintain the same f-stop throughout the zoom range. Their own personal feeling was that would still be about f3- f4 but with improved image resolution and performance to warrant the G moniker.
