(SR5) A77II is only a nice incremental update (don’t expect any revolution on this camera yet).


Image on top shows the silhoutte of the current Sony A77.


The A-mount A77II will be announced around May 1-2 and so far we know it has an updated 24 MP sensor and that everything on the camera has been trimmed for speed. A trusted source told me that he saw the camera and he confirmed there is no revolutionary feature on it. He said that what Sony did is to improve every single aspect of the camera. I have to say I like that :)


Stay tuned on SAR!

(SR3) 14 FE lenses within 2014. Including the new manual Zeiss lenses.


The official Sony FE lens roadmap.


Well, a trusted source told me that Sony is really pushing the FE lens development and we will soon get a new announcement. While I still have no SR5 ranked rumor to give you about the possible lens specs I got some tidbits from an anonymous source: He said a total of 14 FE lenses will be available by end 2014. This includes the manual focusing Zeiss lenses that will be announced at Photokina. In short these could be all FE lenses we could have by end 2014 (ordered by focal length):


wide angle Zeiss zoom (to be announced soon in Spring)

24-70mm FE Zeiss (Available now at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, J&R, eBay)

28-70mm FE Sony (Available now at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, J&R, eBay)

28-135mm f/4.0 Powerzoom lens.

35mm FE Zeiss (Available now at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, J&R, eBay)

55mm FE Zeiss (Available now at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, J&R, eBay)

70-200mm FE Sony (Available now at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, J&R, eBay)

fast prime FE Zeiss (portrait lens? to be announced soon in Spring)

macro Sony prime lens (to be announced before Photokina)

+ five manual focusing Zeiss primes. High Quality, Pricey and compact (not all of them).


Note that Zeiss itself already confirmed they will make such manual focusing lenses for the FE system.A nd they will be announced at Photokina! They said they will launch five such lenses but it’s possible one of them may be announced later in 2015.


Anyway, if by end of 2014 we will really have these lenses I will be happy. All I am concerned now is….the price of such lenses. Have mercy on us Sony and Zeiss!


For reference only: These are the Zeiss manual focusing lenses for the “Full Frame” ZM camera (some of them would be nice to have for the FE system!):
