Sigma China Weibo says they will announce “many” new FE lenses in one month

Share

On Weibo Sigma confirmed they will launch many new products at the CP+ show (starts March 1 but product announcements are in late February). And they also spilled the beans on what’s coming. A follower asked Sigma if there will be a new 35mm FE at Cp+ and Sigma’s official answer is “not only this one“.

UPDATE: Sigma China now remove the post on Weibo after we reported it here on SAR. Good sign that we found something that is probably correct :)

Their comment matches our previous rumors from solid sources that Sigma is ready to launch a bunch of newly designed ART lenses for the Sony FE system. One of them should be the 35mm f/1.4 FE.

And from China I also got this image. Don’t know yet if that is going to be an official Sigma teaser or not:

Next German brand name gets revived to cash in on Kickstarter :)

Share

Seems like all older german brand names are being revived to cash in on Kickstarter :)

Of course, if this is a good lens we all are happy about this! We now got the new Schacht Travegon 50mm f/2.5 E-mount lens on Kickstarter:

The Travegon 50mm f: 2.5 is the fascinating combination of a close to perfect optical system, designed for mirrorless cameras in a compact lens housing. The ultimate goal when designing this lens was to create an outstanding image, optical and mechanical quality at an attractive price so that the increasing popularity of manual photography would meet the appropriate modern lens which allows to take full advantage of the technological innovations of modern mirrorless camera bodies. All lenses will be handmade in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, to ensure the highest quality but sourcing of materials will be done internationally to enable an attractive price point. This is a unique combination taking full advantage of globalized supply chains and German know how to the advantage of the backer.

The Travegon 50 was developed with the uncompromised goal to meet the most stringent quality demands for analog and digital photography. The Travegon 50 shows outstanding performance when it comes to contrast, resolution, structure and tonal depth.

The Travegon is a lens for people who want the extraordinary but do not want to spend extra. It is for photographers who see the bigger picture, who look beyond the obvious, question the average and recognize the significant in everyday things. They want to enlarge their own horizons but not to empty their pockets. All of this calls for the Travegon – a lens that goes beyond the undistinguished but is affordable for all.
