Sigma CEO says they are working on a “different” 70-200mm f/2.8 lens version that is coming “sooner rather than later”

Sigma CEO Yamaki has been interviewed by Fengniao. They

Question: Will the art series 70-200 f2.8 lens, which is eagerly awaited by domestic users, be released this year?

Answer: We have heard about it and are working on it, so we hope to see it sooner rather than later. In fact, we have been thinking about differentiating this lens, hoping to bring something different to users, which is why we have not launched it yet.

As you know just recently Yamaki said that “we want to launch more unique lenses”. Basically they want to be more like Tamron by offering faster lenses with unique focal lengths. Tamron for example is offering a 70-180mm FE lens that cuts 20mm from the tele end in order ot have a very compact size. Now I wondering what Sigma could do. Maybe a zoom that starts at f/2.0? Or go for a constant f/2.8 with more tele?

What kind of lens you hope to get from Sigma?

This is so cool: Tim Larsen hacked Sony cameras to add his own visual control function

CineD had a chat with Tim Helweg-Larsen, an engineer and camera enthusiast from the UK – who claims to have invented a better (easier) way how to master the manual controls of any digital camera. This is how it works:

UPDATE: Tim just contacted me and shared some more videos and details:

Curiosity: Fujifilm might soon launch the world’s first medium format Sports Camera, with Sony A1 sensor tech?

It’s rare to see something truly new in the photography market. Most of the time we see many small evolutions. But this got my attention: In an interview published by Phototrend Fuji said they are working on the fifth generation medium format camera. And this one will be the world’s first Sports camera in this segment.

As you know all medium format sensors are made by Sony. So it will be interesting to see if the new GFX will have a newly designed Sony sensor inside. Maybe a sort of upscaled Sony A1 sensor?

Here are my thoughts on this news:

RUMOR: Straight from a Sony manager: 85mm f/1.2 GM will be announced within the next 3 months

One of my best contacts was at the 50mm f/1.4 GM launch event organized by Sony. He asked the Sony manager when he can hope to get the rumored 85mm f/1.2. The manager answered it’s coming within the next 3 months.

I don’t know how seriously we can take fro granted the managers answer, but my contact told me that the managers sounded very honest about this. Let’s hope!
