NiSi just announced five new E-mount “Athena” Cine lenses

Share

NiSi announced the launch of five new Full Frame E-mount Cine lenses. Here is the press text:

NiSi is going to launch the new cinema lens ATHENA PRIME. Focal lengths range from 14mm ultra-wide angle to 85mm. It features a large aperture of T1.9 and almost no focus breathing effect. All lenses share the same size and 77mm filter thread. Both aperture and focus rings are matched across the range. It is designed to achieve maximal micro-contrast control and ultra-low chromatic aberration.
The Athena Prime Lenses also includes a drop-in filter mount, which provides a more flexible workflow and creative control for filmmaking.

The lenses will be displayed at the NAB show which starts on April 16.

Sony camera registrations update: two more Sony cameras coming very soon!

Share

As you know Sony had registered three new cameras codes in China. One of them has now been confirmed to be the newly announced ZV-E1

  • WW694956 2.4GHz/5.1GHz Bluetooth (Sony ZV-E1)
  • WW542541 2.4GHz/5.1GHz Bluetooth (which I suspect to be the new High End APS-C camera).
  • WW198387 2.4GHz Bluetooth (should be something “video centric”)

And now a teaser: Today I am off hiking, but tomorrow I will start to post the next bunch of rumors about the A9III, new “video E-mount cameras”, new lenses and more! As usual kindly follow me on Youtube to get the info first!

Sigma 60-600mm review by Photographyblog: “another high-quality addition to the ever-expanding Sigma range of premium lenses”

Share

Preorders:
Sigma 60-600mm at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU, Adorama. Fotokoch. FotoErhardt. WexUK.

Photographyblog tested the new Sigma lens and concluded:

The 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports is another high-quality addition to the ever-expanding Sigma range of premium lenses for Sony cameras, and one that offers something markedly different to the other super-telephoto contenders. If you can live with the extra weight, bulk and cost, the ability to zoom anywhere from 60 to 600mm with a single lens is really compelling and hard to ignore once you’ve tried it for yourself.
