Sigma 24mm f/1.4 A-mount ART lens available for preorder at BHphoto.

ART24mmSony

Some good news for A-mount folks! The new Sigma 24mm f/1.4 ART A-mount lens is now on preorder at BHphoto (Click here).

DxOmark tested the new Sigma lens (Canon mount version) and writes:

Although at first sight the Sigma’s overall DxOMark score might not look as convincing as the two previous Art models from the maker, it is important to look deeper than the numbers suggest, especially at shorter focal lengths. The Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM is the finest 24mm we’ve seen, although against the Canon 24mm f1.4L II USM, it’s a close-run thing. That model has slightly higher peak sharpness centrally at f4-5.6, but the Sigma has more uniform performance overall, including superior control of CA and distortion. It’s a worthy addition to the range and will only add to the maker’s reputation. Plus at around half the price of the Canon L-series equivalent, it’s a steal.

Reminder: Also those four new E and A-mount lenses can be preordered:
Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 lens at Adorama (Click here), Bhphoto (Click here).
Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2.0 lens at Adorama (Click here), Bhphoto (Click here).

This is the biggest price drop on E-mount ever: 5,500$ off on the Hasselblad Lunar!

Lunar_Hasselblad

Lunar back to Earth:
Wow! The “NEX-7 modified” Hasselblad Lunar E-mount camera just got a massive $5,500 off at BHphoto (Click here). I guess Hasselblad strategy to sell “luxurified” cameras didn’t pay off if they have to make such kind of price drops. And it will not make happy the people who really bought the camera for the original $6,995 price.
