To be posted at 15:00 London time: First “natively designed” Sigma FE prime lens rumor!

[tminus t=”24-06-2019 16:00:00″ style=”TIE-fighter”]
 

Hi folks! I am currently gently lying on a beach in Croatia with my two kids. At 15:00 London time I will be back into my bungalow and comment with you on the next rumor:

Sigma will launch the first natively designed FE prime lens sometimes in July. And I got the specs that I will post at 15:00 London time today! Stay tuned :)

UPDATE: The rumor has now been posted here: (SR5) Sigma will soon launch the fastest FE autofocus lens ever: The new 35mm f/1.2 FE prime!
