Sigma 500mm f/5.6 is priced at around 3500 Euro
While the US pricing should be just under $3,000 ( I guess $2999) the European pricing will be around 3500 Euro. A bit too high probably? What do you think?
.
Sigma will announce those two new lenses on Feb 21:
- 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports
- 15mm F1.4 DG DN DIAGONAL FISHEYE| Art
Sigma 500mm f/5.6 specs:
- Lightweight lens…less than 1,5kg and so the lightest telephoto prime lens you can buy.
- Very fast AF on Sony A1 (lens has linear motor)
- The lens sharper than the Sony 200-600 G
- very low chromatic aberration
- Coming for Sony E and Leica L mount cameras
- Price just under $3,000 and around 3500 Euro.
January ranking at Mapcamera: Sony A7cII still the best selling camera!
Mapcamera released the official sales date for the month of January:
Top 10 camera sales:
- Sony α7C II body
- Nikon Z 8
- Canon EOS R6 Mark II Body
- Fuji X-T5
- Sony A9III
- Nikon ZF
- OM-1
- Leica M11-P
- Leica Q3
- DJI Osmo 3
My take on that ranking:
- It’s a long time the A7cII is the best selling camera in Japan
- Sony A9III made it into the top 5 but I don’t think it will stay inside the top 10 of the month of February (too much of an expensive niche camera).
- I am surprised to see two expensive Leica camera inside the top 10
- Dji breaks into the top 10 and my guts tell em this si just the beginning for Dji…

WOW! Voigtlander just announced the new 50mm f/1.0 Full Frame E-mount lens!
Cosina Japan just announced this new 50mm f/1.0 Full Frame E-mount lens!
There is no info about the pricing but the lens will be available for preorder sometimes in March. I am sure this lens is the same of the already existing Voigtlander lens for Leica M and Canon RF. So expect the price to be $1799.
