Sony has announced the 16-35mm f/2.8 G Master II which joins the 24-70mm and 70-200mm G Master f/2.8 zooms that have also been recently updated to bring their performance in line with modern expectations.

Sony has announced the new Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM lens, a standard prime lens that Sony says is perfect for portraits, travel, street, and video.

Sony appears to have underestimated the demand for one of its new products again, as the company has announced a shipping delay out of Japan due to a number of orders that "greatly exceeded" expectations despite initial statements to the contrary.

Astrophotographers take note: according to a new report, Sony is working on "the world's fastest 16mm full-frame lens." The rumored 16mm f/1.8 GM will be the fastest and widest prime lens in the Sony G Master arsenal, and one of the fastest ultra-wide primes on the market.

Everyone that knows me knows that I love shooting with extreme wide-angle lenses. When I had just gotten the original a7 and no native (fast) wide-angle lenses were available yet, I was always shooting with the Samyang 14mm.

A report from the ever-reliable Japanese source Nokishita confirms what we've been hearing for several months: the long-awaited Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master lens is ready for release, and will "probably" be announced later this month.

Sony is preparing to add an ultra-wide "holy trinity" lens to its G Master lineup, the 12-24mm f/2.8 GM, but don't get too excited. According to the most recent rumors, not only will the lens be delayed, it also slated to cost thousands more than its direct competitors.

Sony Japan has issued a service advisory for a limited number of 16-35mm f/2.8 G Master lenses, which are apparently causing cameras to malfunction when attached. If your lens is affected, Sony will inspect and repair it free of charge.

This past weekend, Sony quietly increased the price of its exceptionally sharp 135mm f/1.8 G Master lens by $200, raising the price from $1,898 to $2,098 overnight without any explanation. It's left the industry wondering why, and some speculating that the US/China trade war is to blame.

If you've fallen in love with Sony's new high-end G Master line of lenses for the full-frame mirrorless A7 series, this should make you very happy. A reliable source is confirming that the next G Master zoom lens will be a 16-35mm f/2.8.

I was one of those who noted Sony had some troubles, as manufacturers often do, with some of their first generation lenses for full-frame FE mount cameras. When they announced the G Master lens series I was really excited to test them.

Sony today launched an entirely new brand of interchangeable lenses: the G Master. This line will represent the best of what Sony has to offer in terms of optics.

The brand will launch with 3 new E-mount lenses: the 24-70mm f/2.8, 85mm f/1.4, and 70-200mm f/2.8.
