(SR3) Trusted source says Sigma’s first FE lens could be a new 35mm fast prime!

Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 and the Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 via Camerasize

A trusted source (Thanks again!!!) sent me the first info about the new Sigma FE lenses that will be announced this year. He stressed to say that this is not first-hand information and he is yet not sure if it is 100% correct. That’s why I ranked the rumor SR3 for now. In short this is what he said

  1. Sigma is preparing the launch of two new lenses
  2. it will be presented faster than we thought!
  3. The first lens is rumored to be a 35mm f/1.4 (or f/1.2) FE autofocus lens. The size will be somewhere in between the current Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 and the Zeiss 35mm f/2.8
  4. The source has yet no info on the second Sigma FE lens but he says it may be a zoom lens

He also added one more info that might be interesting for other mirrorless system owners. It’s rumored that these lenses will be available in other mounts too!

Message to the source: Feel free to contact me via email too (create a fake gmail account if you like). That way we can chat on rumors we get.

Hadrien: “My name is Hadrien Picard. I’m a french photographer & director. Even if now i shoot a lot of different subjects, my roots are in the bike world.
6 months ago, after watching that crazy light-drone video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl1xYyGom1g ), i had the feeling i could bring further that idea by filming a night ride of one of the best downhill moutain biker, lit by a Drone with a huge LED on it.
Compared to the first video our light has to be smaller & directional so we can aim the light precisely toward the rider, as there was indeed zero option that the rider would not be lit.
Obviously for its low light capabilities we use 3 Sony A7SII to film this project.
