Competition news: Fuji X100VI officially announced

Share

Preorders are now open at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon. FotoErhardt. Calumet. WexUk. Press text at Explora.

Sony like Canon and Nikon will not release any new major camera at the CP+ show. Sony particularly has always preferred to get the full spotlight outside of such events. Therefore the real star of the CP+ will be this Fuji X100VI. A long time classic refreshed with new sensor and other nice tidbits. We will have to wait til March/April to get our first Sony camera….the ZV-E10II.

First leaked images of the new Sigma 15mm and 500mm lenses!

Share

Here you have the first leaked images of the two upcoming Sigma lenses that will be announced on Feb 21 at 2am Berlim time (Feb 20 at 8pm New York time).

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)
  • Sadly frame rate is still limited to 15fps (that’s Sony’s fault and I hope Sony will change this policy)
  • The lens sharper than the Sony 200-600 G
  • Doesn’t take teleconverters
  • very low chromatic aberration
  • Coming for Sony E and Leica L mount cameras
  • Price just under $3,000 and around 3500 Euro.

Sigma 15mm f/1.4 diagonal fisheye lens

  • The lens looks nearly exactly like the current Sigma 14mm f/1.4.
  • Same shape, similar weight.
  • Coming for Sony E and Leica L mount cameras

Confirmed: Sony “WOW” product announcement coming soon after the CP+ show

Share

The Cp+ show is kicking off on Feb 22 and these are the new product we will get:

  • Sigma 500mm f/5.6 (Feb 20 at 8pm New York time)
  • Sigma 15mm f/1.4 diagonal fisheye lens (Feb 20 at 8pm New York time)
  • Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G (Feb 21 at around 10am New York time)

Some additional tidbits:

  • Laowa 10mm f/2.8 FE reorder will open on Feb 20 at 8am New York time
  • Sony will also launch this new 5G device in USA and Eu

And now to the HOT stuff: I was finally able to triple check the rumor about the so called “WOW” product. This means that after the CP+ show I can finally share first 100% reliable info about this. All I can say to you for now is the following:

  • No other manufacturer ever did this!
  • it’s a kind of product of much broader interest than the A9III (which is a niche product). So most of you will be happy to get this…even if it’s expensive!
  • It should be also the first product of a new kind of lineup.

I likely will do a live stream about this WOW product soon. If you want to be notified about when this is going to happen that subscribe here:
