One reliable source now told me that Sony will have a product announcement on April 27 at 16:00 Berlin time. I am pretty sure we will get the new Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens!

Rumored lens specs:

• it’s extremely sharp
• designed like the current 70-200 GM II
• it’s the lightest 24-70mm f/2.8 on the market
• it’s also smaller than the previous version

Here are some hands-on images found on Weibo :

We will not only get a new Sigma 50mm f/1.2 and f/2.0 lens. But also this nice zoom:

• 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary
  ・ Lens configuration: 16 elements in 11 groups
  ・ Shortest shooting distance: 25cm
  ・ Maximum shooting magnification: 1: 5.6
  ・ Number of aperture blades: 9 (circular aperture)
  ・ Filter diameter: 72mm
  ・ Size : Φ77.2 x

I am really not sure we will see a new RX1RIII tough…
