Big announcement week: Sigma 50mm f/1.2 announcement within hours and soon after new A1/A7sIII firmware update?
Today is Monday and tomorrow (March 26) at 13:00 Berlin time we will get the new Sigma 50mm f/1.2 E-mount lens. It will be the lightest Full Frame autofocus f/1.2 lens ever made. And maybe after that Sony will also announce the new A1/A7sIII firmware update on March 27 (or ma March 28). this is still an unconfirmed rumor but I still see a fair chance this might happen. There are also announcement from the competition. Nikon will announce the new 28-400mm f/4.0-8.0 lens on March 28 and I also heard about a possible announcement from another manufacturer (no details on this yet).
After this week I wills hare the next bunch of rumors regarding Sony’s mid April announcement! And there is much more to come from Sigma before summer starts…stay tuned ;)
