The name "... G2" was used by Sony Alpha Rumors. Anyway I don't think it matters a lot how the lens was to be called, but the fact that the lens never appeared. Of course, after such a long time one can say that the rumor was wrong, anyway I don't want either to discuss the reliability of SAR - the point is that there's lack of long lenses for the FE mount. Frankly I don't understand how Sony could aim at becoming #1 in FF with the A-mount, that has been around for such a long time and never became #1. Usually one aims in changing the market with innovative products, not legacy ones.
