Sony just announced their new sony A7V and a new kit lens

Personnally, I'd be very interested in seeing how that new kit lens will work with current wet lenses setups from Nauticam.

More importantly: will the A7 V fit into the A7 IV housing? I don’t think so, but at least there is some hope.

As I use my camera not only below the surface, the precapture-option seems very interesting to me. And 4k60 without crop is a long desired feature.

And the new 28-70 has the same minimal focus distance as the old one. Let’s see…

Lucky for UW photographers, the body is

Before the A7V was released, it was rumored to be same body as A7RV, but seems like its few millimeters off just like with the A7 IV.

A7 V 130x96x82 - A7 IV 129x97x81 - A7 RV 131x97x82

Button placement looks same in all 3, so maybe a small conversion kit?

I saw some articles that said the optics are the same as the the first version of the 28-70 so i would expect that the it would be the same performance behind the WWL/WACP optics as the existing lens, so the 28-60 would likely still be the better choice.

The new lightweight lens doesn’t change much compared to its predecessor, but it is faster and better able to keep up with Sony’s latest and greatest cameras. For example, while an unlikely match for a Sony a9 III flagship camera, the new FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II supports AF/AE tracking at up to 120 frames per second.

Optically, nothing has changed with the new lens. It still features nine elements arranged across eight groups, including a single ED element and a trio of aspherical lenses. The lens still has the same seven-bladed aperture diaphragm as well.

Thank you, disappointing on the lens then !
