First worldwide review Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 Nokton for Sony FE
The new Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 Nokton for Sony FE is now in Stock at BHphoto (Click here). And here is the world’s first review published by SonyAlphaBlog:
Sharpness is excellent for long distance but results are a bit disappointing at portrait distance with only good results wide open for portraits
Background blur is very soft, colors and contrast are very good, Bokeh balls are excellent. Resistance to flare is good and distortion very small. CA and Vignetting are quite significant

Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS lens review by PetaPixel
16-300mm at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. FotoErhardt. Fotokoch. WexUK.
The new Sigma 16-300mm lens launch got a bit undermined by the gorgeous 300-600m launch and the curios BF camera. Chris from PetaPixel tested this lens and concluded:
I expected the optical issues that are inherent to the design of a superzoom and despite them, still had a wonderful time traveling with the 16-300mm lens. All’s well that ends well when you go through your photos and treasure the results.
