On this image you see both, the upcoming  new 16mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.8 PRIMA lenses from Samyang. On the very left the already available 35mm f/1.4 Prima lens.

Here are the first leaked images of the new Samyang 85mm f/1.8 “Prima” FE lens. This lens is going to be announced very soon. This would be the 35th E-mount lens with this focal length (list here at BH). Don’t know why this lens is actually needed :)

Sony registered new camera closed in May. From trusted sources, we can be almost certain that one of them is for the new Sony A7V. But I don’t know the specs yet and all I get are rumors from anonymous messengers. This one sounds reasonable, but of course it could just be conjecture:

I saw some prototypes,
44mpx 20fps non stacked sensor 100% confirmed.
same body as A1II
same screen as A1II
AI chip
New improved evf compared to A7IV – could not really confirm
better heat management

The Sony A7V is expected to be announced in Summer at earliest…

Videomaker has published this image of the new lens. Surely announcement is going to happen soon! Stay tuned :)

Here are the first images of the new Sigma 12mm f/1.4 APS-C E-mount lens. It comes along a “bad” news. In very last minute Sigma postponed the announcement of this lens for unknown reasons. It should have been launched next week on June 17 along the new 17-40mm f/1.8 APS-C E-mount lens (which I leaked on this post).

I also have some pricing info about both lenses:

• 17-40mm lens will cost 999 Euro and 1650 AUSD
• 12mm f/1.4 will cost 1090 AUSD

Again, 17-40mm lens is coming on June 17 while at this point I don’t know if and when the 12mm lens will be announced…

Sigma continues to push forward with the release of new lenses, and today I have some exclusive, exciting news to share with you! On June 17, at the BildExpo event (register here) Sigma will announce new lenses:

• Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 APS-C ART autofocus lens
• Sigma 12mm f/1.4 APS-C Contemporary autofocus lens (with aperture ring).

I have to say that the 17-40mm f/1.8 is particularly exciting as it offers APS-C camera owners the light gathering ability and bokeh quality of an f/2.8 FF lens. Impressive! This lens will probably be optically better and more compact than the legendary 18-35mm f/1.8.

ONE MORE RUMOR:

Sigma is supposed to hold another product announcement event in August/September that will focus more on new full frame lenses. There are rumors of four new FF lenses, I don’t know if 1-2 of them will be unveiled or announced on June 17:

• Sigma 200mm f/2.0
• Sigma 35mm f/1.2 II
• Sigma fast telephoto prime lens with specs never seen before
• Sigma travel zoom lens with specs never seen before

I should have more details on all of these lenses soon. Stay tuned!
