(SR5) Small update on the FE 24-240mm announcement and other upcoming products.
Had a chat with Digicameinfo and with two of my sources. Here are the key info:
1) The FE 24-240mm will ship on March 12 in Japan but the real announcement with full pricing info, preorders and specs is expected to be within the next few days (maybe this week already)!
2) There is a very high chance of another Sony product announcement coming in late March (or first week of April). And that should be for camera(s)
3) The other three FE lenses (90mm macro, 35mm Zeiss and 28mm G) price should be announced in April.
The real question is what’s coming from Sony ont he camera front. I got reliable rumor about the High Res camera, RX2 (curved sensor) and A7000. But the very same sources told me Sony Japan is keeping the release date info very secret.

A few great pictures of the new FE lenses (look how big that 24-240mm FE is).
At last we know the new first FE lens will be announced on March 12. It’s the 24-240mm FE OSS lens! And the other three lenses are likely to be released in April.
Our reader Cabala shared us those pics of the new Sony FE lenses (Source: http://ift.tt/1EM84Y2). The picture on top shows the max length of the new 24-240mm FE OSS lens. He writes about that lens:
“The weight is OK, balance was well on the old small grip A7 body. The zoom ring is sooo hard to turn, maybe this was a preproduction lens, but still uncomfortable on my hands. The lens filter size of FE 24-240mm is 72mm, the coating showed a fantastic color.”
This is the Zeiss FE 35mm 1.4:
My impression was: big, heavy, solid, classic. The focus speed was great, bokeh is great. The focus ring was so big, I don’t think people need that size. Accurately the lens felt like an all metal Sigma Art lens, and aperture click switch button was on it which means it was also designed for video work. The reflecting of the front lens could barely been seen, a nano coating?
The FE 28mm f/2.0 lens:
With A7 II’s body, lens without OSS could be smaller lighter bigger aperture. And the bigger grip of A7 II suited the lens well. A nicely builded lens with fast auto focus. Filter size is 49mm.
FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS lens
Very funny lens, with push and pull focus ring. you can see an element moves inside the lens. My main feeling was the weight of the lens, all at the front end of it. So the balance was strange.The OSS of the 90mm macro lens feels very efficiently, auto focus speed is OK but not decisively. Push the button on the lens body will stop auto focus process, it just worked fine. The lens reflection showed a big difference from the 35mm f1.4 lens.
Thanks Cabala!
