New leaks and more info about the upcoming Sigma 500mm f/5.6 lens
On top you can see the upcoming Sigma 500mm f/5.6 lens mounted on the Sony A1. It’s kind of an odd style…almost looks like it has some telconverter built-in or not? Anyway, I got some additional specs:
Sigma 500mm f/5.6 specs:
- Lightweight lens…less than 1,5kg and so the lightest telephoto prime lens you can buy.
- Very fast AF on Sony A1 (lens has linear motor)
- The lens sharper than the Sony 200-600 G
- very low chromatic aberration
- Coming for Sony E and Leica L mount cameras
- Announcement on February 21.
My guess it’s that will cost $1,500-$2000 less than the current Sigma 500mm f/4.0 for Canon/Nikon.
