(SR5) Sigma will soon launch the fastest FE autofocus lens ever made: The new 35mm f/1.2 FE prime!
Samyang 35mm f/1.4 vs Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 vs Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 via Camerasize
Two highly reliable sources shared to me the first specs of the next Sigma FE prime lens:
- Sigma will launch a new 35mm f/1.2 FE lens soon (could be in July)
- This will be Sigma’s first lens designed specifically for Full Frame mirrorless
- Thanks to the f/1.2 aperture this will be the fastest autofocus lens in the FE lens lineup.
While I like the idea to have a f/1.2 fast prime I hope this lens will not be super big. If it’s about the same size of the current Samyang-Zeiss lenses I would be really happy with it!
One more thing: I have been told there are more natively designed FE lenses to come in 2019!!!
In summary:
It’s going to be a busy summer. Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 pricing will be announced this week, than we will have the fast Sigma prime lens announcement and probably some more Sigma FE lenses too. And in August-September we might get new Sony FE lenses along the A9II announcement?

First impression review of the new Sony 200-600 G by Gustav Kiburg

This is the first impression report by Dutch wildlife shooter Gustav Kiburg:
This is not a test, but my impression and feeling about the new 200-600 G of SONY:
First, the look of the lens is very nice, very good build, also the hood is very strong. But the most important thing is how it acts in the field.
I am a wildlife photographer, and SONY-ambassador this is the lens we were waiting for, because a lot of time the 100-400 is not enough. I am not making a comparison between this lens and the 100-400 GM, I only looked on how it performs in real world:The lens is pretty fast, and sharp. I don’t say that it as fast and sharp as the 100-400, but it comes close, very close. Personally I think you cannot compare them, because its 400 at the end, against 600mm at the end. But the sharpness and the speed is very good.
I also used the 1.4 TC, to see if there is a big loss of detail, but there is not as you can see from the image samples. When using the teleconverter you can sustain the autofocus speed, by using the right focus-limiter: You have FULL , 2.4 till 10 METER , and from 10 till infinite. If you chose the right focus limiter, it helps enough to get the bird fast enough in focus.
Ii like the internal zoom. For me, this lens is a must have: Specially for wildlife, in hides, or outdoor sports, its is a great lens and it cost around 2100 euro.
To be clear: I got this lens as a loan from Sony, and I have to give it back. I don’t get paid by Sony either. This is my honest first impression to help people if they want to buy this lens,
