Sony announced that it will have a press conference on September 1st at 1pm Berlin time. Sony will announce new products for the IFA in Berlin. But it’s yet not clear if there will be new E or A-mount stuff on that event as this is a more general electronic event like the CP+. And as you know Sony didn’t announce anything at CP+ this year.

Sony is quite an innovative company no doubt on that. But let’s help them to figure out what SAR readers would like to get from them. One of the ideas popped out from our minds is that one:
Current Sony FE lenses are quite big and it would be nice to have a new dedicated pancake lens line. They could just learn from Pentax who created the limited pancake line. These lenses have a fairly good optical performance and at the same time are extremely compact and well-built. The lenses are:
[shoplink 33164 ebay]15mm f/4 AL (here on eBay)[/shoplink]
[shoplink 33165 ebay]21mm f/3.2 AL (here on eBay)[/shoplink]
[shoplink 33166 ebay]40mm f/2.8 (here on eBay)[/shoplink]
[shoplink 33167 ebay]43mm f/1.9 Limited (here on eBay)[/shoplink]
[shoplink 33168 ebay]70mm f/2.4 Limited (here on eBay)[/shoplink]
[shoplink 33169 ebay]77mm f/1.8 Limited (not really a pancake but a great compact prime lens)[/shoplink]

Image on top shows the current 16-35mm f/4.0 Zeiss FE lens
A couple of weeks ago a trusted source confirmed that Sony’s next zoom lens will be a 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens. I have no info about the launch date yet. But I just got this from another anonymous source:
“You probably know, but sony have a 16-35 f2.8 GM coming out really soon, Pricing in Australia is $3288.”
This is the same price of the 24-70mm GM lens (there it cost 3,379.00).
The three current GM lenses are:

85mm GM store links: [shopcountry 48072]
70-200mm GM store links: [shopcountry 48791]

SAR reader Nicholas Foley sent me this:
I designed a 3D printed hand grip and 3D printed hood for the RX1 / RX1R which I think look better, function better, and are cheaper than everything else for the RX1. Maybe of interest to your people, they can be purchased through Shapeways:
