HOT news: End of March Sigma will announce a super fast Full Frame prime lens for Sony E and Leica L cameras!

Sigma is finally going to announce that is super exciting! According to my very best source Sigma will announce a super fast prime lens by end of this Month! I can’t share the final specs yet but this is what you can expect for sure:

    • It’s faster than f/1.4
    • It’s Full Frame
    • It has autofocus
    • It’s coming for both Sony E and Leica L-mount
    • Announcement end of March

Hopefully soon I can fully share the lens specs…

Panasonic registered two new camera in China: One should be the S1RII, the other one a new FF compact and the GH7?

E8M on Weibo spotted two more new camera registrations from Panasonic (we now have a total of three registered cameras). Usually this means that Panasonic will announce those cameras within 2-3 months. All three cameras do support dual band Wifi (5.1 and 2.4 GHz). The dual band support usually is a sign for a mid to high end level camera.

Camera 1: Panasonic S1RII

I am certain one of the cameras is the new Full Frame S1R camera. I told you that my trusted source told me that Panasonic and Leica co-developed the just announced SL3. And the agreements says that Panasonic will announce their High res camera only a couple of months after this camera…with same sensor and similar specs. The S1RII will have better video tough.

Camera 2: new compact FF L-mount camera?

I am uncertain what we can expect from the second model. Panasonic openly confessed they are thinking about a more compact L-mount Full Frame camera. So this could be an option.

Camera 3: GH7 MFT camera?

It’s also clear that we are in dire need of a new GH7 MFT camera.

Hopefully my sources can soon tell me more about both cameras! If you know anything about those cameras drop me an anonymous message using this contact box (kindly use a nickname to recognize you in future). Or contact me at mirrorlessrumors@gmail.com.

Images below show the official camera registration in China:

Sony will soon announce a unique 24-70mm f/2.0 GM lens!

Sony want’s to show th world that they can do superfast zoom lenses too! That’s why they will soon announce this 24-70mm f/2.0 Full Frame autofocus GM E-mount lens. There is yet no image of this lens nor exact release date. But the best guess is that this lens will be announced before summer and cost around $3,000.

Bummer: Canon R1 not coming any time soon!

As expected, all those rumors were totally unfounded. The Canon R1 is not coming any time soon!

I told you previously to not trust all those specs you read on the web, and I told you my trusted sources did not get ANYTHING about a possible Canon R1 release any time soon. Latest rumors do now say that we will get first a new R5II in late Spring and the R1 sometimes after that.

What’s weird is that there are no rumors of possible gear announcement for the Cp+ show. Is Canon really going to release NOTHING? Hopefully we will get some new lens like the 35mm f/1.2 for example…
