Sony FE 35mm F1.4 ZA, FE 90mm F2.8 G Macro OSS and FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS lenses
CES 2015 featured previews of the four latest Sony FE lenses coming this Spring: Sony FE 35mm F1.4 ZA, FE 28mm F2, FE 90mm F2.8 G Macro OSS and FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS lenses. I can’t wait to get these lenses on my Sony A7-series cameras – especially the FE 90mm F2.8 G for portraits!

Hey Brian, any word (at least a guesstimate) on the weight of the 28mm?
Weight of the FE 28mm is somewhere between the FE 35 and FE 55. The exact weight will be in the release announcement.
Hey Brian any USD pricing released?
That will be announced when Sony makes the final release announcement.
It’s a relief that the 90mm G is just a tiny bit bigger than the Canon 100mm L IS. Previous pictures made it look huge.
Yup. Theyre virtually identical in size.
How about weight? About the same as the Canon 100 L IS?
Have to wait for release specs.
Finally a f1.4!!! when will it be available?
No announcement of an exact date yet – only Spring 2015.
Hi Brian, can you please tell roughly the length of 24-240mm lens? Thank you.
I didn’t measure it but the FE 24-240 is shorter than a Canon 100 Macro which is listed as 4.84″ (12.29 cm) long.
Hey Brian, do you have any idea on the widest f-stops for the 24-240 at different zoom lengths? (in other words when does it drop off from 3.5, 5.6, etc.)
I only know that at 24mm it’s F3.5 max – and at 240mm it’s F6.3 max. Full specs will come in official release announcement.
Given that the Canon 100mm Macro L is 123 mm long, the Sony 90mm Macro should be around 125mm and 130mm. I thinks it’s a fair size. I’m so wanting to buy this lens when it comes out!
It’s on my list as well…

Do you know what the filter size on the 90 macro is? It’s 52mm on the canon 100 & 60mm macros. I’ve got an underwater port for my Nauticam rig that uses a Metabones adapter with the 60EF-s. It has a 52mm centering ring and might fit into my port with an extension since the Metabones will no longer be needed. Looks to be possibly the same filter size of the Canon. Did you happen to notice what it was on the 90?
It was not marked on the lens I saw in January. Not certain final specs are set – but I can virtually guarantee it won’t be 52mm.
Thanks for the write up Brian! Any idea on how fast the 90mm would focus in normal use? Ie would it be usable for family portraits etc or perhaps the focus would be too slow and better used as a macro only?
I haven’t seen a final release version of the FE 90mm F2.8 macro lens but it should be great for portraits. The A-mount 100 Macro is the portrait lens of choice for many A-mount portrait and beauty photographers like Matthew Jordan Smith. Macros generally have a focus range limiter switch the allow you to limit the focus range for quicker AF.
I hope these lenses get some reviews soon particularly the 28mm and the macro lenses. 28mm is in my quick purchase list since it is quite inexpensive. If optically, it’s not worse than the Zeiss 35mm f2.8, it is a better lens for me: shorter focal length and one stop wider aperture. Let’s hope it’s a performer.
Reviews should come once production lenses are out. If the FE 28mm F2 can come close to the FE 35mm F2.8 ZA that will be a great lens…
