First leaked image of the new Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens!

Share

A SAR reader (Thanks!) just spotted this image of the new Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II. The lens will be announced on April 27 at 3pm London time.

The image shows the “GM 2” mark on the lens near the mount. You can also notice it’s quite a compact lens. I also have been told this:

  • it’s extremely sharp
  • designed like the current 70-200 GM II
  • it’s the lightest 24-70mm f/2.8 on the market
  • it’s also smaller than the previous version

16-35mm FE delayed, A7c coming in 4 months and Tamron and other gear is not in Stock…but there is hope according to this report!

Share

The worldwide semiconductor production crisis is affecting everyone:

  • Two days ago OM Digital announced the new OM-1 will ship two months later than expected (Note: The OM-1 is made of a lot of Sony parts according to this 43rumors article).
  • Today Sony Japan announced the new 16-35mm FE will start to ship out in Summer only
  • Most of the current gear is back ordered or out of Stock: The Sony A7c will ship in 2-4 months only, the A7IV is out of Stock and the Tamron 35-150mm FE is not shipping out since months.

But there is hope! Counterpoint Research reports that “Semiconductor Shortage Likely to Ease Significantly in H2 2022 Despite China Lockdowns“. And in their text they write:

“Coupled with wafer production expansion and continuous supplier diversification, we have witnessed significant improvement in the component supply situation, at least in the first quarter,” observed Li. “The big risk factor moving forward is the lockdowns happening across China right now, especially in and around Shanghai. But if the government can manage the outbreak and help key ecosystem players turn the corner quickly, we believe the broader semiconductor shortage will ease around late Q3 or early Q4.”

If Counterpoint is…on point with their prediction we finally get back to normal by late 2022. Right in time for the A7rV, ZV and “surprise” camera launch!
