Sony USA promises a “WOW” in glass! Announcement around 7am London time.


Like I told you before Photokina is definitely a Sony “Lens” announcement place. And Sony US just remarked this once again with a proper teaser posted on their Twitter account. Tomorrow Sony will announce the new E-mount 4K camcorder and the already known 28-135mm f/4.0 powerzoom lens. But they mat announce all other E-mount lenses too: The 16-35mm f/4.0 Zeiss, the 90mm macro and likely show an updated roadmap with 85mm fast prime lens included.


Announcement should be at around 7am London time (Sept). As usual you can follow the event live here on SAR as I will continuously update you with previews, hands-on links and so on!

Happy 198th Birthday, Carl Zeiss!



198 years ago today, our company’s founding father Carl Friedrich Zeiss was born. The fifth of 12 children, he grew up in Weimar, Germany, and went on to attend the University of Jena.

As a young student, Carl Zeiss showed a keen interest in technology, and after passing the required exam of the grand ducal office for above ground infrastructure, he was granted a license to manufacture and sell mechanical and optical instruments and to set up a mechanical workshop.



On 17 November 1846, he opened a small workshop in Jena with a fund of 100 Thalers, laying the foundation of our company's great technological history and heritage. #TBT
