I guess it's a matter of taste ... Sigma has this incredible "chunk of metal" feel.

Now also the 40mm and 50mm:

It appears they all share the same housing, which is impressive.

Length guesstimate is 47-48mm, which is about the same as the Sigma 24mm

These look better than I expected from Sony... Aperture rings, af switch, and a custom button!

Mfd looks good too.

That's true. But where the Sigma fails, I hope the Sony will shine - sun star rendering. This is Sigma's biggest weak spot. And it seems that the Sony will be even smaller in diameter, with its 49mm filter thread.
I for one am really looking forward to sample pictures from this one.

Hmm these are intriguing after all, was just thinking about what I need for landscape in the standard-ish range. Planning to get the 50 1.2 GM, which will limit my use cases for the Voigt 40 1.2 . . . might move along the Voigt for the 40 or 50 G to save some weight when backpacking (assuming IQ is up to expectations and cost is reasonable - hoping for less than $400 but maybe thats wishful thinking)

Just posting one of the three as they are all identical other than the lettering on the front...

I hope that the 24G will be priced close to Sigma 24I, but highly doubt it. But I do expect all 3 Sony's to be closely priced between them. Maybe the 24 will have a slight premium. Guess we'll see soon enough.

I'm interested in 24 and 40, if the price is competitive. Image quality should be top notch, goes without saying. Which I think these will be.

Impressive.

Now, let’s see if Sony can’t make us a tele G kit.

75 2.8, 100 3.5, 150 4.0

So good to be a Sony shooter now.

These three lenses look similar in size to the 28-60/4-5.6, which weighs a 167 grams. So I guess these are in that ballpark.

They have all got a 49mm filter size, just like the old Olympus OM System Zuiko lenses from the 1970ies an 1980ies. 😀😊👍👏

They have also got a focus hold button, which Sigma left out, otherwise the same switches and focus and aperture rings.

Beautiful little lenses. Hope they are fine qualitiy-wise, too. Now many should be happy, asking for small primes all the time ...

They are high quality G-designated lenses. My guess is $698 to $898.

I bet their performance is going to be excellent. Otherwise, no point in making them.

24 and 50 would make a really nice 2 lens a7c and (please) a7cr kit. Toss in a 15 CV and you have your three lens kit.

Agree.

Sony (at last) seem to have had an epiphany!

Sigma perhaps “inspired” them? Good job!
