Sigma Aizu Cinema Prime Lenses now available for preorder at BHphoto
You can now preorder them for $8299 each at BHphoto (click here). And introduction to these unique t/1.3 fast primes can be read on Explora.
Yes, they are expensive lenses, but they are also incredibly fast, optically spectacular, and offer the consistency across the range that you need when doing professional work.
Here is an interview about those lenses made by CineD:
Competition news: Fujifilm doubles down on APS-C and announced the X-E5 “rangefinder look” camera
FujiFilm just announced the new X-E5 (BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Fotoerhardt, WexUK). Fuji keeps releasing APS-C cameras one of top of another. This is a market nearly completely neglected by Sony. I think they should make some $1000+ APS-C camera that can appeal to the younger generation that doesn’t necessarily want to spend $2000 on a FF camera!

First leaked Sigma 12mm f/1.4 APS-C E-mount lens images!
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…

German company Rollei is back and announced a new 85mm f/1.8 Full Frame E-mount AF lens
The German company Rollei is back in the lens business and they announced a new 85mm f/1.8 lens you can preorder for 299 Euro. Rollei is also an official partner of Viltrox, so I don’t know if this is a revised version of the Viltrox 85 mm f/1.8 or if it includes some new optical design elements. What do you think?
Product highlights:
🔸 85 mm portrait focal length – natural proportions without distortion
🔸 F/1.8 aperture – sharp at open aperture and soft, round bokeh thanks to 11 blades
🔸 VAF series – high resolution for mirrorless full-frame cameras
🔸 HFT-X coating – reduces ghosting and flare, maintains contrast
🔸 STM autofocus – fast, quiet + face/eye tracking for photos and videos
