Interview with Sigma CEO Yamaki…and will there be a 85-150mm f/1.8?

Share

CineD had a chat with Sigma CEO Yamaki. The only curiosity I had not thought of is whether Sigma will also someday make a full-frame version of the current APS-C 50-100 mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art zoom. This would be a 77-150 mm lens. I imagine this lens would become more like an 85-150mm f/1.8 so as not to make it too big. What do you think about such a possible proposal?

Do you think a Sigma 85-150mm f/1.8 would be something interesting for you?

Funny: Sony FE 16-25mm F2.8 G Review done by “Petographer” Akiyo Ogawa

Share

Kitamura published an official Sony 16-25mm F2.8 G taken by Akiyo Ogawa. She is a ‘Petographer’, i.e. she is paid by customers to take wonderful photos of their dogs/cats. Check out Kitamuras website to see some image samples. The conclusion of her review is:

With a wide-angle lens, you can take more impressive photos, whether it’s a pet photo against a spectacular background or a portrait photo with a bokeh effect.
What’s more, the lens is lightweight and compact, with an F2.8 aperture, which is very appealing!
Depending on the perspective and composition, the range of your work can be expanded, so why not enjoy taking advantage of the characteristics of a wide-angle lens?

Mostly unknown cameras now top the camera bestseller rankings on Amazon

Share

Last week I told you that there is a worldwide hype and increase of sales of cheap digital cameras. So I checked the Amazon US rankings to see what’s selling hot. And I found plentiful of cameras I never heard of before:

Camkory:
The Camkory 44MP camera for kids is on top. They sell in a variety of colors for $39 only. This is bought by parents that want their kids to take pics without them owning a real smartphone.

Kodak:
Kodak FZ45 and Kodak FZ55 are also selling hot. They are hyped through social networks. Apparently because they are cheap and produce and “old look” image. Guys, ask your neighbor influence why this garbage is viral on TikTok :)

Dylanto:
There are also Dylanto Instant cameras for kids. They don’t use Fuji instant paper, they print on paper in crappy low quality and that’s it!

Oiadek:
Oiadek offers a super cheap vlogger camera. I guess this is also made for kids that dream to become Yotubers (what a sad world).

Canon:
You have to scroll way down to find the first more “serious” camera. And it’s the Canon Rebel T7 DSLR camera!

Kodak:
Kodak also sells this pinhole instant camera. Looks cute actually :)

Kodak:
Kodak also sells this WPZ2 rugged and waterproof camera.

Sony:
The first Sony camera in the top 100 is the Sony ZV-E10. And it’s also the best selling mirrorless system camera.

The wrap up:

  • Sub $100 camera lead the ranking
  • Kodak is doing extremely well with a ton of different models on top. Note that these are all from chinese manufacturers who licensed the “Kodak” brand name.
  • Vlogger cameras are obviously selling well
