First leaked images of the new Sigma 15mm and 500mm lenses!

Here you have the first leaked images of the two upcoming Sigma lenses that will be announced on Feb 21 at 2am Berlim time (Feb 20 at 8pm New York time).

Sigma 500mm f/5.6 specs:

  • Lightweight lens…less than 1,5kg and so the lightest telephoto prime lens you can buy.
  • Very fast AF on Sony A1 (lens has linear motor)

  • The lens sharper than the Sony 200-600 G
  • Doesn’t take teleconverters
  • very low chromatic aberration
  • Price just under $3,000 and around 3500 Euro.

  • The lens looks nearly exactly like the current Sigma 14mm f/1.4.
  • Same shape, similar weight.
  • Coming for Sony E and Leica L mount cameras

Scary prospect: AI Generated Videos Just Changed Forever!

This week OpenAi released a demo of Sora (Click here). It’s their text to video generation tool and the samples are impressive! If you are a photographer and/or filmmaker you have to take into account the devastating influence those tools will have on the industry. We have to learn from these tools how they work so that we can adapt are business. Don’t worry, AI is not going to replace the entirety of photography and filmmaking. But if your business is doing stock photography/filmography you might be in trouble :(
