The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens should be shipping in May.

Share

The new Sigma 50mm ART lens is supposed to give a very close Zeiss Otus performance. But we still don’t know yet what the price will be. But according to Photorumors we can expect Sigma to ship the lens in May. This is what Sigma stuff present at the Photography show in NEC (Birmingham) told to a Photorumors readers.

Sigma already confirmed the lens will come in A-mount too (article here). And a first quality comparison with other 50mm lenses has been posted last week (article here).

(SR4) Sony 4K camera rumor correction: Not coming at NAB show but at Photokina?

Share

One source shared a surprising rumor (and correction) on the 4K camera rumor we posted three days ago. He says the camera displayed last year (image on top) will NOT(!) be announced as final production camera at the NAB show in April. Apparently Sony will wait a couple of months more before to launch any 4K in a DSLR looking package. He confirmed that Sony will definitely launch 4K (photocamera styled) cameras but for reasons he couldn’t mention Sony will not be able to launch them in April!

One more thing: He said that Sony will lbirng a couple of “minor” news at the NAB show event in April: evolutionary improvements like  S-Log3, ACES color space and firmware upgrades to Cinealta. There will be a new camcorder too but definitely no 4K DSLR styled camera yet.

Important: A77 successor is confirmed by many many trusted and anonymous sources. Launch within the next 2-3 months!
