Samyang is teasing the launch of a new compact FE lens that is “slim-stylish-inspireing-creative”. Samyang already offers a 24mm f/2.8 FE compact AF lens. But my feeling is that this new lens will be very different.

Vitlrox launched two new lenses you can reorder at BH:
The super deal is back! Sony A7cR with a superb $800 discount at Amazon US (Click here). And yes, it’s sold DIRECTLY by Amazon and it’s new (not reconditioned). Took a screenshot for you as proof:
UPDATE: Folks, keep in mind that since Thursday this offer keeps disappearing and reappearing again and again. I don’t know why Amazon is doing this — but it’s certainly legitimate because two SAR readers have already received their ordered A7cR.

By the way, that Sony A7cR super deal (with $800 off) keeps coming back online and offline at Amazon US.So make sure to keep checking!
A source just told me that Sony plans to announce a new updated version of the current 400mm f/2.8 GM lens. Apparently the aim is to make it better than the competition like the Nikon 400mm 2.8. The lens was announce back in 2018 so an update is certainly possible to happen in 2025.
