Sony goes Full Frame mirrorless! First lens specs leaked!

And now it’s definitely no more a rumor! The image on top shows you the specs of the soon to be announced Sonnar T FE 35mm f/2.8 Zeiss lens. And as you can read on the text it’s a lens designed for Full Frame E-mount cameras. From what I know this lens will be announced on Tuesday. But there will be one more announcement in two weeks for more FF lenses (at least three of them) and one new NEX-FF camera.

The price of camera the kit lens (a new Sony G FF zoom) is rumored to be around 3300-3500 Euro.

Exciting times ahead!!!
