Last week we were the first to report that MacPhun is going to launch a Lightroom alternative in 2018. And to get ready for that Macphun decided to change the name in Skylum. Makes sense because they no more do software for Mac only. Their full press text about this can be read at MacPhun Blog.
We still have no info at all about the new Sigma 16mm f/1.4 pricing and shipment start. But at least we got a short Dpreview’s 16mm hands-on report. This is what they had to say about the new lens:
– In person, the new lens is a relatively small, but beautifully well-made prime – At 405g (14 oz) it’s relatively heavy for its size – While Sigma typically doesn’t make any specific claims about weather-sealing, a thin rubber ring around the lens throat should help keep dust and moisture from entering the camera.
Hands-on by Jason Vong:
Here is also a short interview with sigma by Cameta:
Of course this isn’t a scientific sentence: But the Sony a7rIII is the second best camera at Amazon system camera sales ranking (Click here to see it). By comparison not event the a9 or A7sII camera reached the top three position. Still take those Amazon rankings as a pure relative indication.
The “bad” news is that the new 24-105mm FE lens doesn’t even make it into the top 100 ranking. But usually people doesn’t hurry so much on lens preorders anyway.
