Several days ago, rumors from SAR said that Sony will update their FE lens roadmap with 6 new FE lenses in late this week or early next week, most readers take this just a rumor. Now, we are now 100% sure Sony will release 7 more new FE lenses within next 8 months (Before end of Spring, 2016). Update: Most readers think that we are just making a new rumor based on SAR rumor last several days ago, we heared this confirmation of 7 new FE lenses is from a Sony Tester, and he is told by Sony mananger about this news, so this is not the same rumor as SAR.
Source didn’t tell us which lenses are coming, but said most of these 7 new FE lenses will be daily used large aperture lenses to complete the Sony FE lens line. Which lenses do you think will coming first, you can comment below.
Update 2, here is Chinese Text that from Sony Tester we got, thanks readers send us:
关于大家关心的FE系列新镜头问题，出于保密的原因，我现在还不能告诉大家有几支镜头将要发布，不过我可以确定索尼在这个财年（截止到明年4月）内将要发布的7支新镜头镜头看起来是很给力的。

just waiting for some people to come along complaining how expensive they will be, or how big they will be.
Loxia and Batis do not Count as “Sony FE lenses” ;)…
Wouldn’t it be nice if they would be 50 1.4, 85 1.4, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 24 2, 35 2.
All without that pathetic fly by wire focus.
Would love a small 35mm f/2!
I am waiting for 14mm f2.8, 85mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4 and 70-200mm “SONY” lenses, be SONY please
24-70 f/2.8
70-200 f/2.8
135 f/2
70-300 f/3.5-5.6
12-24 f/4-5.6
90 f/2
40 f/2.8 Pancake
I’d like an f2.8 pancake prime somewhere in the range between 35mm and 50mm.
the a7S Mark II should have 18MP keeping that noiseless high ISO, a more silent shutter, IBIS… all with the SAME size and weight..
THIS camera should appear with a 24-80mm f4 really really good, much better than the pathetic Zeiss 24-70mm f/4. The darkest streets claim for that gear!!!!!
Absolutely dying for more full frame e-mount ultra-wides (12mm- 20mm) f2.8 or below. AND ones with internal moving elements without a bulbous front element so circular filters can be used. 🙂
Sony Zeiss FE 135mm f/1.8
Sony Zeiss FE 12mm f/2.8 rectlinear FF
Sony Zeiss FE 20mm f/1.4
Sony Zeiss FE 70-200 f/2.8
Sony needed to go into this line with a partner so they could share the lens mount patents under license. Waiting for new lenses to become available is not for everyone. Buying adapters and legacy lenses and used lenses which themselves are not always cheap and may not have a warranty make it that much more difficult to compete with the old lines.
