E-mount lens news and rumors: Batis 135mm f/2.8 leaked, Sigma FE lenses coming soon and Voigtlander FE pricing.

We got a couple of E-mount lens news and rumors:

  1. The image on top shows the new Batis lens that will be announced soon. it could be a 135mm f/2.8 (Source: SonyAlpharumors).
  2.  Kazuto Yamaki from Sigma confirmed at Dpreview that they are developing new Sigma FE lenses
  3. DC.watch got a price estimation of the three new Voigtlander FE lenses: The 40mm f/1.2 and the 65mm f/2 will cost less than 150,000 yen / $1,300. The 35mm f/1.4 less than 150,000 yen /  $1,300.

There should be also a new Sony announcement in March. And than we will get the new 16-35mm f/2.8 GM!

Nikon finally admits it has to get serious with mirrorless

Nikon finally stated that they will launch “Multiple” mirrorless system camera in the near future. There is no word about the possible specs but it’s surely highly likely that we will see new Full Frame mirrorless cameras rather than APS-C cameras.

What I certainly would not like is Nikon to keep the F-mount on mirrorless cameras. That would be a waste of…space :)

First leaked images of the new Kowa MFT and Sigma DSLR lenses

Share

The big CP+ show is about to start and as expected we will get many new lenses but not so many new cameras this year. Here are some newly leaked images:

  1. Kowa will announce a new 90mm f/2.5 macro MFT (image on top) via 43rumors
  2. Sigma will announce four DSLR lenses. But those lenses can be used on all mirrorless system cameras too (via adapter of course). Via Nokishita

 

Increasing “rumor noise” about a new BIG Sony announcement in March

We are receiving more and more confirmations from different sources that Sony is going to have a major product announcement in March (probably late March). I have no solid info to share. A trusted source said he “heard” there would be two new FE lenses and one new camera. But he stressed to say that this is not a first hand info. So let’s wait a bit and see if we can get some more info about this soon…
