Sony A7III demand raises the price up to $2,900 on Amazon

Share

The Sony A7III is completely out of Stock in the USA. And if you want to get one quick you have to pay up to $2,900 on Amazon US. Of course you shouldn’t do that. But this confirms that this cameras is selling like hotcakes and Sony probably wasn’t expecting such a demand.

Here are new A7III test videos:

Sony FE 24-105mm test by Lensrentals: “Sony has made a damn good lens”

Lensrentals tested the Sony 24-105mm lens and concludes:

Sony has made a damn good 24-105mm f/4 lens. Damn good being a relative term, of course, because it’s a 24-105mm lens and I have come to hate them all so I can’t be too nice about it. But it’s clearly better than the Canon 24-105mm f/4 II IS, and at least as good as the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 Art or Nikon 24-120mm VR. Fanboys, may start their hair-splitting engines now about which one is two angstroms better than the other.
But if you shoot Sony and you want a minivan 24-105mm f/4, this is the best option. If you shoot a lot at the long end, it’s the best option for sure. I would recommend shooting it wide open unless you need more depth of field; you don’t gain a lot stopping down. And if you do a lot of landscape shots you might want to do some simple tests to see where the field curvature on your copy goes.

Adam: “I’ve been a long-time passive reader of Sony Alpha Rumors and never really had anything relevant to submit before, but I ended up making something that might just be.  It’s a searchable, user-friendly database that aggregates specs and reviews of great digital cinema cameras.
I made it with a service called Airtable (but also used Zapier to scrape and clean up reviews from the web automatically).  They liked it and posted it on their blog here:
https://airtable.news/a-searchable-database-of-the-best-digital-cinema-cameras-for-any-budget-a55c94fa38b9
I wanted to share in case others might find it useful, but I also started by identifying some of the best but not every camera.  I was hoping to get the word out so others could contribute (there’s a form for that here: https://airtable.com/shrnh2TyoTci0u5Gl) and everyone could make use of the information. ”

Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens will cost $1,599

Share

Preorder it now at BHphoto and Adorama!

Sigma announced the new 105mm f/1.4 Bokeh beast will cost $1,599. But, they did not unveil yet the shipment start date for the E-mount version :(
Sigma also announced that the Sigma 35mm and 50mm ART lenses will start shipping out in June.

Press text:

Sigma Announces Pricing and Availability for Its 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens
The “Bokeh Master” will begin shipping in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts in late June for a retail price of $1,599.00 USD

Ronkonkoma, NY – May 25, 2018 – Sigma Corporation of America, a leading still photo and cinema lens, camera, flash and accessory manufacturer, today announced that its 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens will be available in Canon, Nikon and Sigma camera mounts in late June for $1,599.00 USD through authorized US dealers. The Sony E-mount availability will be announced later.

The “Bokeh Master” with Longest Focal Length Among Sigma Wide-Aperture F1.4 Art Lenses
The Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art is the ninth lens in the Sigma F1.4 line-up designed for full-frame cameras. To combine outstanding wide-aperture, mid-telephoto performance with F1.4 brightness at maximum aperture, this lens incorporates 17 optical elements in 12 groups, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements and one aspherical lens element. This optical setup minimizes axial chromatic aberration to deliver ultra high resolution along with ample peripheral light volume, which minimizes vignetting. As a result, the area in focus is extremely sharp, while the out-of-focus area features a beautiful bokeh effect with highly natural colors, making this a desired lens for portrait photography. The optical design also minimizes sagittal coma flare, making it an excellent choice for capturing starry skies.

Featuring the Sports line level dust- and splash-proof design, this lens can be used in varying weather conditions. The high-speed, high-accuracy autofocus helps photographers react in an instant to capture those special moments.

Other lens highlights include carbon fiber reinforced plastic hood for durability and compatibility of the Canon mount lens with the Canon Lens Aberration Correction function.
