sony_fe24-240mm_001

Digicameinfo reports that the 24-240mm FE lens will be announced next week on Wednesday March 4. This means preorders are expected to start the very same day. Shipment is expected to start on March 12 in Japan. It’s yet unclear if Sony will also release the pricing info (and accept preorders) on the other three new lenses. Although as I reported before Hong Kong store Shenzen is already accepting preorders on the new FE lenses:

Zeiss FE 35mm f/1.4 for $1,729 (Click here to see it).

Sony FE 24-240mm lens for $1,099 (Click here to see it).

Sony FE 28mm f/2.0 lens for $459 (Click here to see it).

Sony 16mm Fisheye Converter for $319 (Click here to see it).

New Sony FE lenses now listed on eBay.

Some Hong Kong seller already listed the new Sony FE lenses. I don't know if it's bogus or not but Digicameinfo heard the 24-240mm FE lens is definitely going to be announced next week on March 4. Here are the links to the eBay auctions of the new lenses:

Luke: “Just thought that I share a short video I shot this weekend with new Zeiss 16-35 F4 on my A7s. All of the footage is handheld using Hondo Garage’s Pop and Lock (an invaluable tool that I can’t recommend enough http://ift.tt/1fZx1Ys. http://ift.tt/1JSWYXL. I am quite pleased with the results and am happy with how sharp this lens is even completely wide open.”

Bernard: “A new test has been added for the Sony A6000 with a Rokinon 7.5mm lens. For over a year, people visit the site to compare different possible combinations of cameras and lenses for panoramic photography. The addition of the Sony A6000 complements the range presented on the site. A modification was done on the Sony A6000. Improve the standard Sony E-mount with the Fotodiox TOUGH E-Mount. This all-metal mount replaces the two-part mount that comes with most Sony E-mount cameras. Of those two parts, the actual mount that holds the lens is made of plastic, which is susceptible to wear and lens movement. By removing four screws, taking out the two mount parts, and inserting the TOUGH E-Mount, you give your camera a stronger and more durable lens connection. Of all sets that have been tested by quebecpanorama, the Sony A6000 with Rokinon 7.5mm lens is the one that offers the best value for money. The impressive quality, coupled with the ease of transportation, seduced us, so it became the official QuébecPanorama set. http://ift.tt/1JSWYXP “

Surprise: New Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 FE lens already on eBay. Ships on March 13 for $1,729.

Very surprising to see that. But Japanese store Shenikon is already accepting preorders on the new Zeiss FE 35mm f/1.4 lens via their official eBay Store (Click here to see it).

Shenikon writes:

This is a brand new, unused and unopened Carl Zeiss Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA Full-Frame Wide Angle Lens. It is made in Sony E Mount for all Sony mirrorless digital cameras. It comes with lens hood, tripod stand, lens case, front cap, rear cap and user manual and all original packaging.

This is a pre-order. Item will be shipped on or before 13th March 2015. If you have any question or want to combine shipments, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to serving you.

Shenikon is quite a major Japanese store. I would be surprised to hear that’s a mistake made by them. I really do hope this means all four new FE lenses will ship from March 13.
