The video above is actually the world’s first video showing the autofocus performance of the new Sigma MC-11 electronic E-mount adapter. I cannot recognize the lens used but you can see how fast it focuses.

Sigma’s new MC-11 adapter cost $249 and will ship in April according to BHphoto (preorder here).

And below you can see the official Sigma MC-11 presentation video:

CP+ 2016: Hands on with the Voigtlander 15mm F4.5 Aspherical III E-mount from Dan Chung on Vimeo.

We are getting to learn a bit more of those new Vogitlander FE lenses thanks to the CP+ report from Newsshooter. As you know just a couple of days ago Cosina Japan finally released the official price info (in Yen only) and shipment dates of the new FE lenses. But there is still no official price info in Euro/Dollar yet:

  1. 15mm f/4.5 will be released in April and cost 115,000 YEN (at current conversion this corresponds to $1,000)
  2. 10mm f/5.6 will be released in May and cost 155,000 YEN (at current conversion this corresponds to $1,380)
  3. 12mm f/5.6 will be released in August (price not revealed yet)

There is also a 10mm FE lens hands-on report by the Spanish DSLRmagazine site.
