(SR4) New Sigma A-mount lenses will be available in 18 months only :(

This is the kind of rumors I do not like to post. But I got word from a good source that the new Sigma 24mm f/1.4 ART and 14-24mm ART lenses that will be announced at Photokina will be available in their A-mount version in 18 months only!!!

Sigma wants first to focus on Canon and Nikon mount version. They predict they cannot produce enough of those lenses for the first year. Therefore A-mount (and likely K-mount) production will start around early 2016 only.

This is the exact the same story we had with the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 A-mount lens. At last I hope the 50mm ART will ship soon. Preorders are already up at Amazon (Click here) at BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). In Europe at WexUK (Click here) and WexDe (Click here).

運動会撮影「今年こそ失敗したくない！」というパパ・ママに。

頑張るわが子の晴れ舞台。だけど、撮った写真のピントがボケていたり、テレビで見返した動画が肝心なシーンでブレていた…。

そんな失敗経験はありませんか？

でも、もう大丈夫！お子さまの運動会前に、ぜひご覧ください！

(SR5) Zeiss will soon announce the new “Loxia” lens line for Sony Full Frame E-mount!

The Zeiss trademarked logo at Trademarkia.com

Zeiss will soon announce a new line of lenses named “Loxia”. It will be made for the Full Frame Sony E-mount system! The characteristic of those lenses are:

- They are native E-mount Full Frame lenses

- These are designed and made by Zeiss itself. These are not Zeiss branded and Sony manufactured lenses like the Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 FE for example.

- These are manual focusing prime lenses (allows a more compact design).

- They have a physical aperture ring on the lens.

- Made of very high material quality.

- There will be many of such lenses coming the next 12 months.

Exciting!!! Stay tuned on SAR. I am working to get the lens specs as soon as it gets….
