Samyang 24-70mm f/2.8 FE: In USA at BHphoto. In Europe at WexUK. FotoKoch DE. FotoErhardt DE.
SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Samyang/Rokinon zoom lens and concluded:
The Samyang 24-70mm F2.8 (900 euros) is globally a very good lens at a reasonable price but the competition is very tough and offer excellent options that are all better in one or several areas compared to the Samyang 24-70 F2.8
Area where the Samyang is below its peer are sharpness , build quality/ergonomics , size and weight, AF , bokeh balls shapes,
Areas where it is similar or among the best are : color rendition , background blur
Area where it is above the others : Distortion , Vignetting , ergonomics for video, focus breathing , par focal (when starting at 70mm)If you need a 24-70 my recommendation stay the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art (1200 euros) better in all areas (except video) for a price tag +33%
if you want the best option at similar price and are ready to sacrifice the 24mm , then the Sigma 28-70 F2.8 DG DN Contemporary is the best option at 50% of the weight
For pure video work and for 24/33Mpix where you really need the 24mm, the Samyang is a recommended choiceRecommended for video work

Image of one of the patented Sony medium format lenses
Then only thing I know for sure, is that Sony patented some medium format lenses. But all the rest is purely speculation and very wild rumors. One wild rumors I got is this one:
the medium format system Sony will release in 2 years has not curved sensor, its a new developed 200mp 54×36 sensor in a new mount, Sony will release an adapter to use E lenses (just they can say it had a lot of compatibility lenses cause the system will be released with only 3 primes) and will be a system without mechanical shutter with flash sync faster than anything in the market by far, its a system targeted for ultimate studio work
Now, this is not from one of my trusted source so there is a high chance it’s wrong. Still I post this because I would damn love it to be true!
