BUSTED! Klaus Schroff from Photozone revealed that five new Sony NEX lenses will be tested soon. But he forgot to mention that those are not SOny lenses but just Third-party lenses tested on NEX cameras!

Inside a dpreview forum post he said that: “There’ll be 5 more NEX tests in the near future so we’ll have a better guidance about the quality of these Sony lenses … “

SO will Sony not announce any new NEX lens at Photokina?

One of our very good sources told us that a new “exceptional” mirrorless product will be announced on August 26 (Japan time). The product is “unexpected” and no rumor website since now suspected that this was coming! So we are the first to talk about that ;)

That new product will certainly be one of the highlights at Photokina! Follow mirrorlessrumors and as soon as we receive some news about that camera we will post it!
