An image of a full-frame wide-angle zoom prototype by Laowa (Venus Optics) for Sony E-mount has appeared online but, with no focal length markings on the barrel, we’re left to speculate what the mystery model is.
The image making the rounds on rumor sites appears to have originated from Laowa founder Li Dayong on social media. The photo shows a lens on a full-frame camera, and while the aperture ring is labeled, the photo gives no hints as to the focal lengths. Interestingly, though, there are three rings suggesting aperture, focus, and zoom. Plus, there's a switch for manual to autofocus.
