I would expect Sony to release the 400 F2.8 GM in the 1st quarter of 2018…not summer nor Sept 2018. After the A9 and A7 RIII releases, that’s way too long for pros to wait. Given the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia (June14 -July15) Sony should get this lens out with enough time to allow pros sport photographers the opportunity to switch over.
That is a good idea!
