The image on top shows you the nice [shoplink 300350 ebay]Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 Biogon ZM lens (listed here on eBay)[/shoplink]. Well if rumors on SAR are correct than Zeiss will launch a new Loxia 21mm f/2.8 for the Sony FE system in mid October. Usually Zeiss uses the same basic design as their ZM version. So expect the Loxia to be similar in internal lens arrangement design, size and optical quality.

Sigma will soon launch a new 24mm f/2.8 ART lens for Sony E-mount and MFT.

There is a rumor coming form the Sigma front. According to one source:

Sigma is readying a new 24mm f/2.8 DN Art lens for APS-C E-Mount. Expect higher sharpness when compared to the 30mm, about the same level of sharpness as with the 60mm. Autofocus is speedier too compared to the 30mm. Announcement will come very soon within September.

We also heard from another source the lens will be available for Micro Four Thirds too!

Sony to anounce the A6100 and new E-mount lenses on Friday!

We just ave been told that Sony will not just announce a new E-mount camcorder this Friday! There is a high chance they will also introduce the A6100 and some new E-mount lenses too! It’s still unclear at the time of writing if the lens announcement is purely an updated roadmap or also some real product announcement with preorders and shipping info. I am working now to get more info about this…
