(SR5) One more image of the new Sigma 105mm f/1.4 ART lens (without the hood)

This is a new leaked image of the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 ART lens that will be announced within 1-2 days. It shows the Canon mount version but there will be a native Sony E-mount version too. As you can see the lens without hood looks way more compact than the image leaked yesterday.

There are still no details on the pricing yet but the lens will cost less than the Nikon 105mm lens (Check price at Amazon US and Amazon DE).

This is how the lens should look on the Sony A7rIII.
Note that the image shows the Canon mount version of the lens. The E-mount version should have a 26mm longer rear tube:

Both lenses will be announced next week!

(SR5) First image of the new Sigma 105mm f/1.4 ART lens which will be available as native Sony E-mount version too!

Image shows Canon mount version but Nikon F and Sony FE versions will be announed too. Click on image to enlarge!

Ladies and gentlemen…this is the first image of the new Sigma 105mm f/1.4 ART lens! It will be available for Nikon, Canon (image on top shows Canon version) and fot he first time for the Full Frame E-mount! The lens will be announced next week. Spread the word to all Sony community. This is a HUGE beast and should perform as well as the Nikon 105mm lens for a lot less $$$ (Check Nikon price at Amazon US and Amazon DE).

This is how the lens should look on the Sony A7rIII. Note that the image shows the Canon mount version of the lens. The E-mount version should have a 26mm longer rear tube:

Sigma will also announce this new 70mm f/2.8 macro lens but it’s unclear if there will be an E-mount version of this:

(SR5) Sigma will announce a new 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art for Sony E-mount!


Image on top show the Nikon 105mm f/1.4 front element (courtesy Imaging Resource). Expect a similar size from the Sigma

UPDATE: We now posted the images of the lens on a new post here: sonyalpharumors.com/sr5-first-image-new-sigma-105mm-f-1-4-art-lens-sony-e-mount/

Our Sigma sources were spot on and next week Sigma will announce their first FE lens: And it’s going to be a STUNNER!
Sigma will launch a new 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art for Sony E-mount. This lens will be also available for Canon and Nikon which means the lens is likely not designed for Sony only. Or maybe Sigma will announce two differently designed version of this lens?

This lens will match the quality of the Nikon 105mm f/1.4  lens and be priced much lower (see the Nikon lens specs at Amazon US and Amazon DE).

Nokishita reports that Sigma will also announce a new 70mm f/2.8 macro lens but they did not specify if it will be available for Sony too.

Both lenses will be announced next week!

(SR4) Now 75% chance ot get the A7III on Monday. And some hints about two new FE primes…

Tonight we received an “indirect” evidence that Sony is indeed going to launch the new A7III. The chances to get the A7III on Monday afternoon at the Las Vegas presentation are now at 75%.

One more thing:
A source also heard about two fast primes in development. But he got no confirmation if Sony will actually talk about those on Monday. One of the primes would be the 135mm FE.

Increasing chance that we might get a new Sony A7III on February 26


A7III rendering created by Valley Films

I am still not 100% sure about WHAT will be announced: But the chances are increasing that we will get a new A7III camera on February 26. This because we learned that many people got invited at big events in Las Vegas, London and Asia. I doubt they would do that for a new A6000mkII or A5300.
And you better hope that these A7III specs shared by a new source are correct. Because if he is than I can share the correct A7sIII specs too (Spoiler: The camera is not going to be unveiled at the CP+).

So let’s recap what we know so far:

99% reliable rumors:
– Sony announcement on February 26 (Las Vegas time)
– New “entry-mid” level camera will be announced

60% reliable rumor:
The “entry-mid” level camera is the A7III

35% reliable rumor on the A7III  specs:
24 mpx sensor.
7 fps.
425 contrast points.
167 phase detection.
joystick.
Z batterie.
touch screen.
4k recording 24 .25 and 30 fps.
1080p 24.25.30 and 60.fps.
1899 us dollars.
