Sony 100-400mm f/4.5 GM: Size and Build Details Leak
Single-source rumour, so treat it accordingly. But if the weight claim holds, this is a meaningful lens. A 100-400mm that travels as light as a 300mm f/2.8 with a 1.4x attached gives wildlife and sport shooters real versatility without the carry penalty of a fixed super-tele. The large zoom ring detail suggests Sony is targeting photographers who actually work with gloves or in fast-moving situations, not just spec-sheet buyers. Nothing confirmed, nothing shipping yet. Worth watching.

Sony A7R VI Announced — Preorders Open Today
The Sony A7R VI is real and preorders open today. If you shoot high-resolution commercial, landscape, or architectural work on Sony glass, this is the body you've been waiting on — and the simultaneous 100-400mm f/4.5 GM drop means Sony is clearly targeting the action and wildlife end of the resolution market too. Canon firing back with the R6V the same day isn't a coincidence. Two flagship announcements in one afternoon means the next six months of gear decisions just got a lot more interesting. Lock in your preorder position now if you're serious — allocation on high-res bodies dries up fast.
