STUNNING release from Sigma: World’s first f/1.8 Full Frame autofocus zoom lens is coming soon!

Share

Three trusted sources confirmed this:

  • Sigma will soon announce a new Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN lens!

If I am not mistaken I think this is thew world’s first f/1.8 Full Frame Autofocus zoom ever made! It is a sort of Full Frame version of the epic 18-35mm f/1.8 APS-C zoom (you can see it here).

I have been told that the primary target for this lens are filmmakers. That makes sense because the 18-35mm f/1.8 APS-C was a popular lens in the video world. The new FF lens has a much shorter zoom range equivalent to 18-30mm in APS-C. But aperture in APS-C would be f/1.2 so depth of field will be short and bokeh much more pronounced! I talked to a few people testing the lens and they said the lens is way too big and heavy as a photography lens.
I do believe the upcoming Sony 24-70mm f/2.0 GM will be a much more “usable” choice for them. I hope to be able to share more details (and maybe images) of this lens soon. Stay tuned!

Camera Grand Prix 2024 award: Sony A9III takes it all

Share

The winners of the Camera Grand Prix 2024 award have been announced. The A9III was selected as winner by the Japanese press and also separately by the Japanese readers.

Grand Prize: Sony “α9 III”
Lens Award: Nikon “NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena”
Best camera award you choose: Sony “α9 III”
Best lens of your choice: Nikon “NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena”

The jury writes about the A9III:

By being able to expose all pixels in the screen at the same time, it eliminates the distortion of moving objects that occurs with conventional electronic shutter photography. It received many votes as the best camera for capturing decisive moments in sports and wildlife photography. Flash photography can now be synchronized at full speed up to 1/80,000 seconds ( *2 ), and is also compatible with the company’s first pre-shooting. This is a technological innovation that expands the possibilities of photographic expression, and some expressed hope that it will be rolled out to popular models in the future. In addition, the model was highly evaluated for its ability to minimize the size of the previous model while refining the detailed shape and making it easier to use as a tool.

Rumor about some camera launch delays because of European regulations…

Share

You probably have noticed that some companies like Sony, Canon, Nikon have not announced cameras in 2024. A trusted source told me that companies have delayed some of their camera launches to make them compliant with new EU regulations.

The source is really highly trusted and didn’t share additional details other than making the example of the Nikon Z6III camera being one of those delayed. Now here comes my guess: One month ago a trusted source told me the Sony ZV-E10II launch could been slightly delayed from late May to around June.  Don’t know if this could be the reason…

If you happen to know whet EU regulations is causing this please drop me at sonyalpharumors@gmail.com or use this anonymous contact box.
