Sony Photokina 2018 Site Launched


Sony launched their Photokina 2018 site which shows the launch of the Sony HX99/HX95 at this time. We should see the announcement of the Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM, ZEISS Batis 40mm f/2 CF, Sony 135mm f/1.8 FE GM, and maybe the rumored professional APS-C a7000/a6800/a6700 along with some mark two cameras.

It would be very interesting if Sony decided to hit Photokina 2018 hard with high-end APS-C gear to combat Fujifilm and others, but at this time very little factual information exists about what is coming. Sony should also announce their Sony a7SIII, but it seems unlikely at this time since the Japanese sites that generally leak these details haven’t spilled anything big.

This has been a strangely quiet period leading up to Photokina, which starts Wednesday, 26 September and runs through Saturday, 29 September 2018. Only 7 days to go until we know for sure so stay tuned to SonyAddict for details.
