A patent is not proof that Sony will actually mass produce these lenses. But it definitely shows that Sony is thinking about making them. I would be happy if Sony would produce an 800mm f/5.6 and you?
The Sony 512GB V60 SD has ropped to it’s lowest price ever and now sells for $168 at Amazon (Click here). But also the other Type A and SD cards got major price drops:
Lowest price ever on the Sony TOUGH CFexpress Type A cards series sold by Amazon (Click here) and BHphoto.
So this lens will be a bit heavier, bigger and a lot more expensive than the Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0 (which, by the way, is on super-discount at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama). Of course the Sony is expected to have superior image quality, autofocus performance and the f/2.0 constant aperture will be useful in video and for extreme bokeh fanatics ;)
I’m still not sure about the announcement date, but it will probably be the 23rd of April. This is the only new product we should get, but keep in mind that Sony announced two new cameras in December/January. So it could be that we’ll see a new FX or a new A7V camera announced in May/June!
More about that in my next rumor updates ;)

The Japanese shop Mapcamera published its ranking of the 10 best-selling cameras in March. I noticed Sony loosing a bit of ground the past months. We really need some new cameras like the Sony A7V, A7sIV and RX1rIII.
