Rumours of an upcoming Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8GM lens started appearing in February, and it seemed like it would be a pretty attractive option over 3rd party alternatives like the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art, offering an extra couple of mm on the wide end. In March we saw the rumoured $4,000 price tag – almost three times as much as the Sigma.

In February, it was rumoured that Sony was planning to release a new 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens at some point during the summer. The thought process at that time was that it would be a little wider than the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art for Sony E mount, but at likely a significantly higher price – possibly double.

Now, according to Sony Alpha Rumours, it looks like the Sony will cost almost three times as much as the Sigma, and the announcement is going to be delayed, too. SAR says they’ve received a tip from a reliable source that the anticipated 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens announcement has been delayed as a result of… wait for it… Yes, that’s right, the coronavirus pandemic.
