Good job Sony.
dduuh, how many times user here should tell people that is a cinema lens……..
By any chance, do you know that cameras like the FS100/700 and VG30 use E-mount, right? You’re not in the target market for this.
While Fuji got 50-140 f/2.8 with 72mm filter thread and weighting 1kg…. Them Fuji shooters will look so stupid! Everybody will laugh at them for not using small lens!
They official introduce it at IBC for a reason, it’s pro video dedicated lens for big video camera (compare to still ILCE) that will be rigged, so no need to be small or light which it is compare to other video lenses.
*facepalm*
Again with the non-existent “Alpha mount”.
They should have never buried the “NEX” moniker.
This is the press conference for the IBC, a pro video broadcasting show. Sony don’t have an a-mount pro video camera unlike the e-mount, so why did you expect an a-mount announcement ?
alpha mounts are a & e-mount. The A in a-mount doesn’t mean alpha.
Yes, I know what they mean by it. Still a rediculous and misleading naming system.
Legacy from Minolta. I guess if Sony drop it all the Minolta’s fan will whine about that too.
Agreed. The nomenclature confuses new users to the system. Best option to pursue is for Sony to drop the A mount entirely.
When Tamron and Sigma release new great lenses for the Alpha mount (see adjacent news), they know which mount that means.
“Filter diameter 95mm
Weight 1400g”
Are you?
Pretty impressive they managed to make a lens with 95mm thread diameter and only weigh 1400g. This lens is insane, wonder how much it will be in AUD? $2500 is damn cheap but need to wait for pricing here.
Pity there are no ND’s though.
Darn. I want to know about the other lenses now! 😀
I love my 18-105G power zoom but this size/weight is why I stick to APSC. This really is a pro lens!
The weight is really “WOW”
On a side note, will there be a 24-120 F4 like Nikon for the ordinary folks? Better optical resoluton & less distortion than FE24-70 is a BIG WELCOME! 😀
I can’t believe nobody here is guessing (yet) what specific ‘A’-mount lens may be announced. I may have just shot myself in the foot after ordering another A-Mount lens hours ago.
What is A-Mount? The picture above mentions only ONE SINGLE α Mount System.
As usual Sony has gone to exhaustive lengths to confuse the nomenclature. I
was referring to lenses like these contained in the link.

Perhaps I missed the latest naming conventions. Hope this helps ~
what will be the price tag? roughly
