(SR3) New E-mount Zeiss lenses for E-mount to be shown at Photokina in September?

Share

According to two new sources (so not a certain rumor!) Sony will show new Zeiss lenses for E-mount at Photokina in September. The sources couldn’t tell me if Sony will only show or also release the lenses. The design of the lenses will be based on current ZM lenses.

Please keep in mind that the rumor is not from our known sources. We are trying to get some reliable infos from them. But we from SonyAlphaRumors are 100% sure that Zeiss will make lenses for the NEX-system. The question is only when they will make it and what lens will come. If you know something about the future ZEISS lenses feel free to contact us using the form on the right! Thanks!

Let us know what lens you are going to buy (you can also select them all if you have the $$$):

We still need to confirm the rumor with one of our second sources…
