Adobe updated Lightroom to version 5.6 (more info here). And plenty of new A and E-mount lenses have been added in their supported profile list.
Reminder: You can download the Camera Raw 8.6 update (released last week) here for CC (Click here) and CS6 (Click here).
Sigma previously stated the new 24-105mm A-mount lens would ship in late September only. But good to know Sigma managed to speed up the lens production. BHphoto now reports a shipment date for August 4 already!
The Sigma A-mount lens can be preordered at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).
