I got following message from a source:
Samyang is releasing an update to the AF 35mm F1.4 FE lens. It looks very similar to the old version but updated with the custom switch and focus hold button. There are probably some changes optically, as they say it is more sharp and better contrast wide open already, even in the corners. Autofocus is completely silent and very capable as an astrophotography lens too.

Poll:
At 2pm London time Sony will announce the new 16-35mm f/4.0 PZ FE lens. I have now been told the weight of the lens is 353g which is considerably less than the 518g from the Zeiss 16-35mm FE lens .
Here is the image of a new SHIFT lens for Sony Full Frame cameras. A source told me it might be something like a 24mm shift lens. This is their second shift lens after the Laowa 15mm f/4.5 W-Dreamer you get Venusoptics (worldwide shipment) .
Today you save $50 on the Sony ECM-VG1 Short Shotgun Microphone sold by BHphoto (Click here) . You also save $150 on the Rokinon lens at Adorama (Click here).
Tomorrow (on Tuesday at 2pm London time) Sony will announce this new 16-35mm f/4.0 PZ FE lens. I got confirmation the new 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II is NOT going to be announced tomorrow but on a future event. And there will be other lens announcements shortly after that 24-70mm GMII launch. So you see, Sony plans to keep us busy in Spring :)
Lens specs:
You can now preorder their new Resize AI software (full details here) . It’s going to be released in April.
