Important note: Sorry guys, the 30mm f/1.4 lens announced by Sigma today is NOT coming for A-mount. The first official press release posted on Dpreview contained an error (P.S.: check the comment section with people complaining). Damn, that was likely the most interesting lens announced by Sigma today :(

To learn more about the new Sigma lenses for Sony check out the links I posted below. They do contain the full lens presentation and the original MTF charts. Here are the links to the Sigma page and the BHphoto product pages that should soon allow you to hit the preorder button:

UPDATE:  The double Sigma lens deal for $199 is back in Stock at BHphoto (Click here).

It’s not a big secret that I like Samyang/Rokinon lenses. I don’t care about the misisng autofocus. They are a high quality and at the same time cheap alternative for A-mount shooters. And now one of their best lens got a nice discount. You can find it for $369 at BuyDig (Click here). Just be sure to enter the right Coupon Code which is “ROKTHIRDS” . And there is a seocnd deal on the NEX-F3 with kit lens for $339 at BuyDig again (Click here).

And last there is a Sony NEX-F3 with 18-55mm Lens, 55-200mm Lens, Card and Bag Bundle for $649 at Amazon (Click here).

The NEX-F3 successor will arrive in Spring and that’s why you see those new NEX-F3 deals like the double kit deal on Bestbuy (Click here). And there is a another superkit deal with Case Logic bag and Free Transcend 32 GB Memory Card at Amazon (Click here).

Little curiosity. Guess what’s the most sold E-mount lens on Amazon (here is the ranking)….the 16mm pancake! Curiosu to see if the new 20mm pancake will sell better…

Update3: This comes from imaging-resource:

Here’s what Issacs wrote on Adobe’s community forum following the reports.

“On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated …

You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2!

What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall their software, copies of CS2 that don’t require activation but do require valid serial numbers are available. (Special serial numbers are provided on the page for each product download.) See <http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1114930>.

Update2: the download link appears to be still alive. Just tried it out. Don’t know what is going on.

Update: To good to be true! According to diyphotography, which cites Adobe support forum, the download was never meant to be free. The download page was meant for photographers who bought CS2, but needed to reactivate it. The download link has now been disabled.

Adobe’s CS2 suite can be downloaded for free. Click here to download. Serial numbers are provided. You have to be registered to Adobe (it’s free) to make the download. Mac (PowerPc) and Windows versions.
