(SR4) Sigma’s plan is to release new Sigma A-mount lenses 6 months after th Canon/Nikon version

Share

I got some highly reliable info about Sigmas A-mount lens plan. According to that source Sigma will always try to release the A-mount version of their new lenses 6 months after the release of the Canon/Nikon version. They do this “in order to judge market viability for this lens line in the future“. Those are the sources word.

Thanks Source!

I am really going crazy here with news and rumors and want two share two short messages:

1) To sources
Thanks to all good and fake (LOL) rumor sources for sending me a lot of info in these days. Please keep in mind that I usually need some time to double-check the info I get. So don’t feel bad if you don’t see your rumor posted within hours of your sent message.

2) To readers
Thanks for sharing news. Please be patient too with your news/review or personal work you shared. I have a lot of news to post in these days and can’t keep up with all of them. Will try to post the all as soon as I can.

(SR1) An impossible rumor about the A7x :)

Share

Of course I keep receiving some impossible rumor. And it happens only one time out of ten these kind of rumors are really true. Anyway, just for fun here is a highly unlikely rumor that if one day would really become true would really create some buzz on the web:

A7x 50MP FE Camera to be announced at Photokina.
6fps
Similar ISO performance to A7

Just a curiosity: Last time I got such an impossible rumor was in March when a new source told me a half a million ISO E-mount FF camera would be announced soon. Guess what, the source was right and the A7s came. So if the A7x will really become true I wills end a bottle of good red wine to the source. But, I think he will not be right and I will keep the bottle for my personal use :)

(SR3) New Pro Cinema camera to come from Sony?

Share

Image on top shows the current FS100.

I got first tidbits about a new E-mount Pro Cinema Camera that will replace the current FS100 . Of course it will record 4K video and will be competitively priced against the Canon C100 an C300.

I got no info yet about when exactly this will be announced. I guess soon…

(SR5) First Zeiss Loxia will be a 35mm f/2.0 and 50mm f/2.0 lens.

[shoplink 9808 ebay][/shoplink]

Image on top shows the current [shoplink 9808 ebay]Biogon T* 2/35 ZM (here on eBay)[/shoplink] M-mount lens. The new Loxia 35mm could be very similar to it.

I have been told the first Zeiss Loxia prime lens will be a 35mm f/2.0 and 50mm f/2.0 manual focusing lens. It will have a physical aperture ring and electronic aperture control. I have no other info about price and lens physical design characteristics.

Zeiss has a [shoplink 9808 ebay]Biogon T* 2/35 ZM (here on eBay)[/shoplink] M-mount lens in their portfolio. Maybe the new Loxia also has a Biogon design. The lens is likely to cost more than the current 1 stop slower Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 FE lens. But it will have much higher optical and material quality.

The 50mm f/2.0 makes also a little sense to me as we already have a superb 55mm f/1.8 FE. But maybe the new 50mm lens is a macro to make the difference?

The question now is…

I want the "unseen" thing to be the:
