Curiosity: Sigma 14mm f/1.4 lens is a niche lens only being produced in January and February

Share

From minute 39 Sigma CEO Yamaki joined the podcast. Here are a couple of highlights:

  • He doesn’t work with other manufacturers, they prefer to produce lenses in their own factory
  • Sigma made no profit in past fiscal year due the increase of cost.
  • Sigma 14mm f/1.4 lens is a niche lens only being produced in January and February

Suspicious: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II ART Lens for $899 only via third party sellers on Amazon

Share

SAR readers (Thanks!) spotted a massive $400 discount on the Sigma 24–70mm ART II lens on Amazon. However, note that it’s being sold by a third-party seller — so proceed with caution, as I can’t vouch for their reliability.

Sidney Diongzon: “Dear Sony Please Add THESE 3 Features to the Sony A7V”

Share

Sidney Diongzon would like the Sony A7V to include the following new features:

  • Audio-only recording mode with 32-bit float audio — allows recording just audio in-camera without video, useful for voiceovers and maintaining consistent sound without external recorders.
  • Larger, higher-quality 4-inch screen — similar to the Nikon ZR display, combined with Sony’s four-axis flippy-tilt mechanism, ideally OLED or using Bravia display technology for better color and brightness.
  • Built-in internal memory (64 GB–128 GB) — provides backup or emergency storage when SD cards are full or forgotten, and can be used for reference photos or videos.

I am 99,999% certain none of these will make it into the Sony A7V…but maybe on cameras coming  in 1-2 years from now this would make sense?

UPDATE: After the Canon R6III launch he posted this:

100% Confirmed: Sony A7V Launching Early December with 33MP Sensor and New Leaked Images!

Share

The past horse I got some additional info:

  • Now I am 100% certain the Sony A7V will be announced in very early December (Dec 5?)
  • 100% confirmed the sensor is 33MP (unclear if same or updated version of the Sony A7IV sensor)
  • Improved EVF (unclear about resolution)
  • I got two more leaked images (see below)

Sony A7V rumored specs:

  • 33MP sensor (unclear if same of the A7IV or tweaked or new partially stacked)
  • improved fps rate (15fps?)
  • 8 stops IBIS
  • new AI chip like the Sony A1II
  • 4 way fully articulating screen
  • 2x dual Type A SD slot
  • no C5 button
  • improved EVF (5.6m dot?)
  • Same Sony A7rV body design.
  • price close to $3000
  • Announcement in early December
  • Limited batch ships before Christmas

Three lenses are on Sony’s roadmap:

  • 100-400mm f/4.0 GM
  • 100-400mm G (variable aperture)
  • ultra wide angle f/2.0 GM zoom

So that’s it for now! I hope we will soon get the definitive answer about the sensor…is it new or not?
