SonyAlphaRumors reports:

Guess when Sony announced the last new APS-C E-mount lens? It was the Sony E 16-55mm F2.8 (image on top) back on Aug 28, 2019!

Now, to my surprise one reliable source told me that Sony might announced three(!) new APS-C lenses in May/June. These should be TWO FAST PRIMES and ONE ZOOM !!!

I hope other sources can confirm the rumor because I would hate this to be wrong. It’s about time Sony releases new APS-C lenses and cameras!

We have a ton of new announcements happening the next few weeks. Here is the recap:

Fuji will have a press event end of May:

• Fuji X-H2s (40MPO, 6k CFexpress&SDcard, active cooling,

Sigma will have a press event within weeks:

• Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 E and L-mount lens

Panasonic will have a press event within weeks:

• 9mm f/1.7 MFT lens for $500

Canon will announce new APS-C gear on May 24:

• EOS R7 body
• EOS R7 18-150mm Kit
• EOS R10 body
• EOS R10 18-45mm Kit
• EOS R10 18-150mm Kit
• RF-S 18-45mm IS
• RF-S 18-150mm

The EF-M system was always unofficially dead on arrival. And now it also has an official funeral ceremony event on May 24th. On that day Canon will announce the first APS-C R7 camera with a set of APS-C lenses. Here is the list provided by CanonWatch:

• EOS R7 body
• EOS R7 18-150mm Kit
• EOS R10 body
• EOS R10 18-45mm Kit
• EOS R10 18-150mm Kit

Fare well EF-M system. We shall NOT miss you :(

It would make totally sense for Leica to stop making their S medium format reflex camera. And indeed in this video (see below) you can see this mockup displaying a mirrorless medium format camera! Nice :)

Fujirumors reports that Fuji will announced a new XF150-600mm f/5.6-8 lens. Overall it looks like that Fuji is now going to start a long list of camera and lens announcement starting from the soon to be announced new XH models!
