YES! Sony will announce the new 85mm GMII in Spring!

After exactly eight(!) years Sony will finally update the current 85mm f/1.4 GM. Two trusted sources told me this lens will be in Stock by early Summer. Which usually means announcement will happen 1-2 months earlier (Spring). They didn’t want me to share the specs of the lens but unconfirmed rumors do suggest this to be a new 85mm f/1.4 GM II. it will be optcially much improved and slightly more compact.

But there is a but…super wild rumors I got speculate about the possibility of a DOUBLE 85mm GM lens announcement with the second lens being faster than f/1.4! But this is NOT coming from my trusted sources so take it with a huge grain of salt for now!

To wrap it up:

• CONFIRMED: New Sony 85mm GM coming in Spring (and in Stock by early summer)
• Likely: Same f/1.4 aperture but optically improved and slightly smaller/lighter
• Wild rumor: There might be a second and faster 85mm GM too
