Editorial note: Thanks to all sources for the accurate Sony, Sigma, Zeiss, Tamron rumors

Share

The past weeks have been very busy and the good news is that at least all of our SR5 ranked rumors proved to be correct. I have to thank all sources for sharing all this info!

List of correct rumors of the past weeks:
– Exclusive leaked images of the Sony A7III (article here).
– Info about multiple Sigma FE lens launch (article here and article here).
– Leaked images of the new Sony Flash (article here).
– First images of the new 400mm FE lens (article here and article here and article here).
– First rumors about new entry-level Alpha and flash (article here).
– Tamron 28-75mm FE specs (article here)
– Leaked Zeiss Loxia 25mm FE images (article here).

Many of the low ranked rumors were wrong but some of them (like Tamron and a Sigma) were correct. I will take a very short break with my family as these weeks drained out my energy. After that I will move on to talk about the next Sony cameras and lenses which are likely to be announced in April-May.

Thanks again to sources and readers for your daily support!

Sigma FE lenses to have the same price as Canon/Nikon version. Which one will you buy?

Share

We now got nine new Sony FE lenses to play with. The seven existing ART primes plus the two new 70mm and 105mm primes. I know many readers are disappointed those lenses have not a special new design made specifically for Sony. I am a bit disappointed too. But now I am looking at the full half glass and want to cheer you up with those arguments:

1) You don’t have to spend extra money on the MC-11 adapter.
2) These lenses are compatible with Sony’s Continuous AF, which would have not been possible by using the Sigma MC-11 adapter. This means you get all the full Sony autofocus system benefits.
3) A new special design would probably have raised the cost of the lens. And all those ART lenses already have a superb Image Quality.
4) At least on the tele side of the lens size a “special FE design” would have been resulted in more or less the same size anyway.

“Unofficial chatter” also leads to a somehow easy to guess info on the pricing. All nine Sony FE lenses will have the same price of the Canon-Nikon versions.

Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art price at [shopcountry 67834].
Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art price at [shopcountry 67835].
Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art price at [shopcountry 67836].
Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art price at [shopcountry 67837].
Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art price at [shopcountry 67838].
Sigma 70mm F2.8DG MACRO | Art (CP+ 2018 exhibit with no price yet)
Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art price at [shopcountry 67839].
Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art (CP+ 2018 exhibit with no price yet)
Sigma 135mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art price at [shopcountry 67840].

Here is the big question:
