I am posting it here because at the moment it is only a rumor.

A piece of news however that if confirmed would make many underwater photographers happy.

The source on X is considered very very reliable. There are no dates. We will see.

Some Sony Lenses Currently Under Testing:

8-15mm Fisheye Zoom

600mm F6.3

400mm F4.5

28mm G

40mm G

*Specific release dates are currently unknown.

** These are all engineering prototypes. Specifications or naming conventions may be adjusted upon official release.

If that 8-15 can take a TC that would be amazing. Unless it's $3k

It can of course be some GM glass and cost a fortune. Maybe Sony wants one because everyone else has their own 8-15.

The Laowa one is probably more further down with development, as it was already shown hands on in the spring at Beijing.

Laowa also has been pretty good with pricing. Just hoping this will release this autumn as Weibo/WeChat rumors suggest.

First leaked images of the new 8-14mm f/3.5 FE lens

And here we have the first leaked image of the new 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G zoom lens! Let me know in the comment system if you spot something interesting on the image...I certainly have ;) Preorders op

Now the question is: does it accept a teleconverter?

What I see appears to be the first auto focus fisheye zoom lens actually designed for a mirrorless sensor. The Canon RF 7-14mm F/2.8-3.5 L is I am sure a great lens but it is 109.4mm long which is reminiscent of a DSLR lens with a lens adapter attached. My guess is the New Sony lens will come in closer to 83/86mm with minimum focus distance around 14/15cm.

I doubt that a Sony 1.4 or 2X TC will work with this lens, more likely an after market TC like those for the DSLR lenses will be needed, hoping to be wrong on this issue. The lens hood and port shade will need to be removed to work at the 8mm end. On the 14mm end the lens would go to a full 180 degrees rather than the 175 degrees with 15mm.

I also think it will come in under $1900.00 to be competitive with the Canon.
