An anonymous source told me that on September 22, Sony USA may raise the prices of cameras, lenses, and accessories by up to 10%. I hope this turns out to be wrong — but since other manufacturers have recently increased their prices, there’s a real chance Sony will follow.

So if you’ve got something on your wishlist, it might be safer to order now rather than wait until after September 22 -> Sony cameras/lenses at BHphoto , Amazon , Adorama .

The new Viltrox lenses are now available for preorder:

• 14mm f/4.0 FE at BHphoto , Amazon , Viltrox , Pergear
• 9mm f/2.8 FE at BHphoto , Amazon , Viltrox , Pergear

A tipster told me that Sony might announce a new macro lens on September 30 . I haven’t yet been able to confirm this through reliable sources. So if you can confirm — or debunk — this rumor, please reach out using my anonymous contact form or contact me via eMail , Signal , Telegram . Thanks!

A friend of mine and reliable leaked How2Fly reported some time ago that:

Sony is testing a new full-frame macro lens, the FE 100mm F2.8

Cosina Japan has issued a press release confirming that the new Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 OTUS lens will begin shipping in October — not in September as previously announced.

Just a mock-up :)

Finally I can confirm through trusted sources that Sony will announce the new Sony A7V in October/November!

A double Sony announcement: New lens and New A7V!

To be more precise, sources told me Sony is likely to have a product announcement first for a new lens ( could be this one? ). And some weeks after Sony will have another announcement for the Sony A7V . I should be able to share the exact dates soon.
