If it’s true (like the rumors regarding the 100mm macro lens last time) maybe there will be a surprising feature, too. Maybe supports Sonys TCs! ;-)

Looks like it’s close focusing because it is „slow“.

I have to be honest with you: one of the sources who shared accurate Sony FX5information told me that Sony has a host of new lenses that will be announced within a relatively short period. Now, HowToFly has shared the full list of engineering prototypes Sony is reportedly working on. It therefore appears that Sony could announce many new lenses within the next three to six months.

HowToFly writes:

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.

I can add that also the 16-28mm f/2.0 GM development has been done and could be the next lens announced by Sony. Now let’s dig into possible aperture info of some of these lenses:

• The fisheye zoom will definitely be slow and have something like a f/5.6 aperture

• The 28mm G is going to be f/1.8 and a successor of this very old 28mm NON-G lens

• The 40mm G is also going ot be f/1.8 as we already do have a slower f/2.5 lens.

So that’s all we know so far…with the 16-28mm f/2.0 probably coming in late summer or early fall and no new timeline for the other lenses yet. In the meantime let us all know:

We already have a thread on this 😉
