    The most expensive of all Sony lenses will be available on April 23th at BHphoto (Click here). Don’t know how many of our SAR readers will buy that $12,999.99 lens! I will certainly save that money for something else :)

    UDPATE: A reader showed us a much cheaper alternative: The Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX APO (Click here).

    good thing it is “only” $13,000. Wasn’t it suppose to be 13,000 euros which is about $17,000?

    hopefully they come out with more lenses now.

    Would anyone like to donate one to me?

  • Avatar Image anonymous said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    Thanks to SAR admin for the info but no thanks to Sony.

    Remember that it is 13,000 euros after VAT, which taxes around 20%. That price means that it actually costs around 10,800 euros, which is in line with the US price.

    It’s definitely more glass and metal than in a Leica Noctilux for about the same price. ;-)

  • Avatar Image admin said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    LOL :)

  • Avatar Image Trent said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    Thanks, didn’t know how that worked.

  • Avatar Image anonymous said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    Compatible with Steady Shot Inside? WTF does that mean? That IS in camera works with this lens.
    Really Sony? Is that one of the selling points for this lens? :D

  • Avatar Image anonymous said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    I’d rather buy a full frame Nikon AND 500mm for the same price…

  • Avatar Image anonymous said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    this lens does not look as good as the prototype with orange and silver.

  • Avatar Image anonymous said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    I agree.

  • Avatar Image anonymous said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    if you would donate a kidney in exchange lol

  • Avatar Image anonymous said 2 months, 3 weeks ago:

    Yeah, but it looks like Sony has chickened out of making their pro telephotos silver/orange now.

    In any case, I think the Minolta 600/4 makes a much more compelling case financially, assuming one doesn’t need weather sealing.
