First Specifications Revealed for Sigma’s 200mm f/2.0 FE Lens – Launching August 19

Share

On 19 August, Sigma will unveil the new 200mm f/2.0, the new 12mm f/1.4 (APS-C) and probably also the new 35mm f/1.2 II. I have published images of the latter two, but I don’t have any images of the 200mm lens yet. However, I have received some specifications:

  • weight just below 2kg
  • 105mm filter size
  • White finish and similar look to this lens.
  • super fast autofocus
  • Full Frame
  • For Sony E and Leica L mount

Hope to get an image of this soon!

Sigma Will Not Raise Prices Despite New 5% Tariff Increase

Share

The 300-600mm lens price increased from $6,000 to $6,600 after the initial 10% tariff rate.

Two months ago, Sigma raised the prices of all its lenses following the introduction of a 10% tariff on Japanese products. Now that the final tariff rate has been raised to 15%, Sigma has decided not to implement any further price increases. As PetaPixel explains, one of the advantages of the company is that it is not a public limited company and manufactures all components in the same factory. This makes it easier for the company to absorb the additional tariff rate.

AstrHori Teases Ultra-Wide 6mm f/2.8 APS-C Lens – Launch Imminent

Share

AstrHori is preparing to launch a new 6mm f/2.8 ultra-wide lens for APS-C cameras, and it looks set to be available in Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, and L-mount versions. Like other lenses from the brand, it’s fully manual with no electronic contacts—but thanks to the extremely wide field of view and deep depth of field, focusing should be straightforward.

This upcoming model will complement AstrHori’s recently released 6.5mm f/2 circular fisheye lens, which offers a dramatic 192-degree field of view, extra-low dispersion glass, and a 9-blade aperture. That lens is currently priced at just $129, suggesting the 6mm f/2.8 could also come in at an attractively low price.

While no official release date has been confirmed yet, the lens already appears close to production, so its retail debut likely isn’t far off.
