My take on the spec list. Warning: Sorry for my hair after the cold shower ;)
Two weeks ago I got this Sony A7rV spec list form a unknown sources. I did decide not o post it because I wanted to wait and gather some info from trusted sources. But now the very same source shared the spec list to other websites and forums and I had to share my view on this for you.

Today Tokina announces the new 33mm f/1.2 APS-C E-mount lens. You can find the product page here , while preorders should be up and running soon at BHphoto .
