Yeah I'd expect something like 77mm (at least) on a 16/1.8 (see: Laowa 15/2), and a much shorter MFD in line with the 20/1.8 and other recent fast UWAs. I'm really loving the 20/1.8 G, and I'm waiting for the 16/1.8 GM as well but I think they might price it above what I'm willing to pay; so I might settle for something like the Laowa. 15mm would be a better FL complement to my 17-28 anyway. Still wanna see what the GM brings tho...
Exactly I would be surprised if it smaller than 77mm, even that would be on the smaller seize, I’ll expect it to be 82mm this will make it possible to get a very high quality that doesn’t suffer from bad vignetting.

Ho hum. A reasonably compact 16mm at a reasonable price point would be more intriguing.It's definitely not the 16/1.8 IMO. That would likely have a shorter MFD (in line with the 20/1.8 G), and/or a petal hood*, and/or a larger filter thread than 67mm (unless they go for Laowa levels of vignetting, but since it's a GM I'm guessing they'll aim to do better there).
* (although this could be a pre-production or disguise, but that seems unlikely with the GM badge hanging out in the open)
35/1.4 GM seems likely, didn't SAR comment it'd be slightly larger than the 24 GM? That could've been wild speculation but going off this pic it seems probable. I'm gonna guess that at best they'll price match the Sigma f1.2 DN... So $100 more than the 24 GM. Personally I hope they price it higher still so I'm not even tempted.

Now move on to more important stuff, when can we expect to see the 16mm GM.Its not around the corner. Its here!
That timestamp doesn't even exist in the video.Great catch. Looks like its a 67mm thread and 27cm MFD (~.2x mag? if 35mm)
Size looks somewhere between the Z 24-70 and the RF 24-105
Haha, it absolutely did and DPR ninja edited after they realized their goof up; there was a whole extra scene teasing this week's video comparing high end FF bodies before, we didn't make this up. There's even slightly different stills of the scene on the SAR comments.That timestamp doesn't even exist in the video.Great catch. Looks like its a 67mm thread and 27cm MFD (~.2x mag? if 35mm)

It looks exactly like the old ZA lens because that is an image of the old ZA lens!This is just basically an update of the Sony Zeiss 1.4/35 it weren’t really a missing piece but it’s nice Sony finally started updating their lenses and this means shrinking the seize of it. The lens look exactly like the original almost down to the smallest detail except that it’s smaller 67mm vs 72...Its not around the corner. Its here!
