Sigma will announce a new 28-105mm f/2.8 lens in early September!

Share

I have an exclusive rumor to share today! Multiple trusted sources confirmed that in early September we are getting the following new lens:

  • Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 ART Full Frame autofocus lens for Sony E and Leica L cameras

This has the potential to become a very popular lens like the Canon 24-105mm f/2.8. Yes, the Canon has a much more useful 24mm at the wide end but I have been told the Sigma weights less, is more compact and more importantly much cheaper!

I hope to get some images of this lens soon. If you happen to find some images please contact me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com or use this contact box.

That said, what do you think about this lens?

Will you consider ot buy the new Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 lens?

First real world images of the Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 VCM pancake lens

Share

Viltrox finally shows the first prototype of the upcoming 28mm f/4.5 VCM pancake lens. And yes, despite the super small size, this is a full frame lens with autofocus! The highlight is that this lens can be closed with the toggle switch on the side, turning it directly into a lens cap!

Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 VCM pancake lens specs:

  • Full Frame
  • Autofocus (VCM  coil motor)
  • Minimum shooting distance: 0.32m.
  • all-metal built
  • no manual focus ring
  • has a lever with built-in cap to close the lens
  • Price in YEN is 799 (about $100)
  • Launch on August 26
  • Sony E and Nikon Z

Like I told you last week…this is the perfect lens for Sony A7C camera owners!

Viltrox exhibited a 28/4.5 pancake E-mount full-frame autofocus pancake, with a silver ring on the lens body, which should be a good match with a7c
The half-frame autofocus 56/1.7 will be launched on the 19th of this month, priced at 899, and the full-frame E-mount 40/2.5 will be launched on the 26th of this month, priced at 799! Both lenses are quite light and small.
In addition, products in the R&D stage such as 135/1.8 were also exhibited. ​​​

 

Viltrox also displayed AF56mm F1.7 APS-C and AF135mm F1.8 Lab Full Frame E-mount lenses.For the 135mm lens there is no pricing and launch date info while the 56mm lens will start shipping out on August 19 for 899  yuan (a little bit above $100)

This is the 135mm lens:

This is the 56mm f/1.7 APS-C lens:

Sony Q1 financial report: 10% jump in profits and +20% in camera sales!

Share

Sony just published the full Q1 financial report. The company as a whole reported an impressive 10% increase in profits, mainly due to increased revenues in gaming and imaging. The good news is that Sony also sold 20% more cameras and camcorders than last year!
And I am sure that with the future launch of new cameras such as the A1II, A7V, and hopefully the A7sIV, the numbers will go even higher!
