Sigma will announce a new 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS lens in early 2023

Sigma currently sells a 60-600mm lens for Nikon F and Canon EF (for about 2000 Dollars/Euro here on Amazon). According to a very reliable Japanese source Sigma will announce a new 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS lens in early 2023. This will be available for L and E-mount for sure. I also guess that it will have a new optical design and not be a copycat of the current existing lens.

There is yet no info about the pricing and exact release date, btu stay tuned for more!

FAKE image of a new 200mm f/2.0 GM lens

Someone keeps sharing this image of a supposed 200mm f/2.0 GM lens. I am posting this now because I am sure it’s fake and if you see it on forums you should know it isn’t real. He also shared this:

brand new 200mm f2.0 and 200mm f2.5 will come in winter 2022/23

Like I said it’s fake, but still I wish this would be true :)

There is also a leak of a lens that will not be available for E-mount at the start, but it’s likely there is going ot be an E-mount version in 2023. It’s this Astrhori 18mm f/8.0 shift lens:
