Sigma is clearly playing with the idea to launch a a wide angle Full Frame lens with constant f/1.8 aperture. The patent shows the specs and design of three slightly different versions:
If you wonder how BIG this lens would become, the specs say the length is about 16cm. That’s 4cm longer than the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens.

This is one of the very first reviews of the new lens:
You have 12 days left to order the new Kiboko City Commuter Camera Backpack on Kickstarter (Click here). According to PetaPixel tested the bag is the “Best Day-Use Backpack for Photographers”:
The “day-use” backpack is perhaps the most difficult to sift through as it is the most popular style and therefore the most manufacturers compete to earn your attention. It is also the category where the most concessions are made to appeal to the widest group of photographers, making it very difficult to find one bag that does everything right for every possible use case. For years, the best choice was Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2 despite numerous issues with it because it was able to be the most for the most people. That finally changes with Gura Gear’s Kiboko City backpack, which does everything the Everyday Backpack does better — and more.
Gura Gear managed to make a smaller backpack that can actually carry more equipment. While it’s not deep enough to hold a larger camera like a Nikon Z9 or a Canon 1DX, it easily holds other cameras like any from Sony, the Canon R5, or the Nikon Z7 II. It features a roll-top so it can expand to carry soft items like a sweatshirt or jacket, has multiple pockets all around the bag for various accessories, and has a properly divided interior that holds a variety of lenses and other camera equipment.
The material and build quality of the Kiboko City is top notch and while the bag isn’t waterproof, everything but the zippers will repel water thanks to being fully encased in X-pac fabric.
Beyond those basics, the Kiboko City has side panel camera access, a magnetic hiding water bottle side pocket, a center channel tripod holder, high-quality shoulder straps, and Fidlock magnetic fasteners. The bag is a little bit more expensive than Peak Design’s backpack, but you get your money’s worth.
Other solid picks include the aforementioned Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2, the WANDRD PRVKE, or the LowePro ProTactic.
