Quick thoughts on why Sony has to “copy” the Canon 100-300mm f/2.8 lens and my “secret hope” that Sigma will make a 120-300mm lens for a third of the price!

We all know Sony will launch a 300mm f/2.8 GM prime lens by end of 2023 (the lens list listed here at BH). But in my latest video I bring you my case why this new Canon 100-300mm f/2.8 lens makes much more sense than owning a 300mm prime. Yes, the Sony will cost $2-3000 less than the Canon, but the 100-300mm L is much more flexible and can be used for a variety of different scenarios. You might end up saving money because this one lens is good enough to replace a couple of primes and zooms!

So I hope Sony will make such a lens too. But I also have one more deeper secret hope: Sigma doing an E-mount version of their famous 120-300mm f/2.8 lens that still sells for $3,600 only at Amazon. Nearly one third of the price of the Canon!

What do you think, would you buy a Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 FE lens?

Finally! Angelbird’s new 1TB card makes CFexpress Type A cards affordable for the masses!

Finally we can have affordable CFexpress Type A cards! Angelbird just announced the new 1TB card for $499. The card is in Stock on their website but it will soon be available on their Amazon store page too. By comparison the Sony 640Gb card costs $1210 and is a tiny bit slower than the Angelbird. So you see why this news is kind of a big deal:

You pay $1,89 for 1GB with the Sony
You pay $0,5 for 1GB with the Angelbird

That’s 74% less!
