(SR3) Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 FE lens to be announced in July?

The current Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EF Canon version

I just got this:

Sigma should be announcing e-mount zoom lenses in July and should start shipping in September. Specifically they told me that I may want to hold of on upgrading my 70-200mm f/2.8.

We know the reason why Sigma launched FE primes only is because the autofocus algorithm on zooms are much more complex. Let’s see if they fixed this!

Here are a few images captured with the new 200-600mm G lens with A7r3, its is incredible….
The ability to zoom from 200 to 600 with just a slight turn of the wrist makes this lens very appealing, the focus is super fast and accurate. I still can’t believe how cheap this lens is!

Nokishita confirms new Sony camera registration

Share

Nokishita confirmed that Sony registered a new camera with the code “WW716189”.  But they don’t know if this is a new E-mount or a fixed lens model. All we can safely say is that it’s likely to be a new High End camera as it has this fast 5,8 GHz Wifi capability to transfer large set of files.

As usual with new Sony camera registration we can expect this camera to be announced between now and 2 months max.

Note: Sony usually uses the “WW” prefix for camera models.
