“The Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary (430 euros) is (one of) the best lens available on Sony APSC and will do superb job for portraits. It is the equivalent of an 85mm F1.4 on a full frame cameras. During a blind test most people to whom I showed results thought photos were taken on a full frame cameras with an 85mm!”
It is another excellent optical instrument, offered at a sensible price; it shows that pricing of other producers of mirrorless devices is really over the top.

A reliable Asian Source sent me this image showing the f/1.1 aperture of a new 50mm f/1.1 FE autofocus lens that will be announced soon. It is made by a Chinese manufacturer. I am yet not 100% sure about the brand but it’s rumored that this might be made by Yongnuo. They already make AF lenses for Canon and Nikon (they are on sale here on Amazon US, Amazon DE).
