p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · How likely do you think it is Sony does a new 100-400 GM2 soon? | |
On the one hand it's almost as old as the original 70-200GM, so might be in line for an update based on that alone. On the other hand it is already a pretty modern lens with linear motors (plus SSM), is by no means heavy for its class (the old 70-200 was a boat anchor), and is probably a less popular lens than the 70-200/2.8 so it might be a few more years before an update appears. It's also still a damn good lens that easily keeps up with, and usually beats, the competition IMO.
The 85GM was released around the same time as the original 70-200 IIRC and that's yet to get its update, so these schedules are not set in stone. And while the new 70-200 is considerably lighter than the old one, it's no smaller and I'd not expect the new 85GM to be any smaller than the old one, either (perhaps even bigger and heavier if it's f/1.2), nor the 100-400, so shrinkage is by no means guaranteed with an update.
My guess? An update in 2024.
