A reliable source told me that he is testing the 16-35mm f/4.0 FE lens that will be announced on March 22. The lens shows quite some distortion when used wide open. But he can live with this because the lens is very compact and otherwise delivers very good optical quality.
He also doesn’t know yet when the 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens will be announced (but it should be coming very soon).

Joel Robison found a spider nesting inside the Sony A7rIII EVF. The full story has been posted over at PetaPixel:
For now, Robison is just living with his new spider friend and waiting to see if it will find itself a new home soon — he is planning to send the camera in for “repair” if the spider ends up dying inside. And yes, Robison is still using the camera in the meantime.
“I’ve used [the camera] a few times over the last week,” he says. “It’s been a fairly entertaining predicament to be in.
“I’m not afraid of spiders (though it is a bit unsettling to put my eye directly up to it) and most of the replies I’ve had have ranged from complete panic to suggesting I light the camera on fire, throw it off a cliff, or a combination of the two.”
“Personally I’m waiting for a certain Superhero franchise to write a letter and welcome me into the multi-verse.”
Here are the first images of the new Sony 16-35mm f/4.0 FE PZ lens that will be announced on March 22. It has exactly the same specs as I told you:
