Sony is going to announce three new APS-C lenses soon!

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!
