Preorders: Sony 20-70mm at BHphoto , Amazon , Adorama , FocusCamera , FotoKoch , Fotoerhardt , Calumet , WexUK .
ePhotozine tested the new Sony lens and concluded:
Our sensibilities and tastes in wide-angle lenses, and indeed what we now think of as ultra-wide, have changed dramatically since those first rather more conservative zooms of the 1970s.

The Sony Alpha a7R V is the first full frame Alpha camera to feature high-resolution imaging with AI-based autofocus. Sony has put its best technology into the A7R V, calling it the “best-ever image quality for an Alpha body.” In my personal experience, the A7
One of my best contacts was at the 50mm f/1.4 GM launch event organized by Sony. He asked the Sony manager when he can hope to get the rumored 85mm f/1.2. The manager answered it’s coming within the next 3 months.
