SG-image announced two new 55 and 50mm f/1.8 lenses: One with AF and one with no aperture ring at all that can do special bokeh effects

Share

Today SG-image has announced two new lenses:

  • 55mm f/1.8 autofocus Full Frame E-mount lens
  • 50mm f/1.8 manual focus Full Frame lens with no aperture ring and a special ring that changes the bokeh effect

Let’s start with the latter because this is a totally unique lens. Basically instead of the aperture ring it has a bokeh ring. You can see it at work in this video:

Share

Reliable leaked How2Fly just tweeted that Tamron will soon announce a new BIG zoom lens! I have no idea yet about th possible specs but we can guess based on patents:

Now, in my opinion that 200-800mm f/5.6 lens would be a stunner! Don’t you agree?
