Sigma 17mm f/4, 50mm f/2 & 23mm f/1.4 Lenses Will be Announced Within the Next few Weeks

The latest rumor suggests that Sigma will announce the 17mm f/4 DG DN, 50mm f/2 DG DN & 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Lenses within the next few weeks.

Since the 17mm f/4 and 50mm f/2 are compatible with magnetic metal caps, they are probably I-series lenses with metal barrels and a high quality feel. 23mm f/1.4 DC DN is an easy-to-use prime lens, so I think many people have been waiting for it. Pricing and release date are unknown at this time. Continue reading “Sigma 17mm f/4, 50mm f/2 & 23mm f/1.4 Lenses Will be Announced Within the Next few Weeks”

Development of Sony FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS Lens Announced

Along the new Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G Lens (Pre-Order at B&H Photo/Adorama/Amazon), Sony also announced the development of Sony FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS lens. This new lens is scheduled to be released in early 2024.

Sony is developing a large aperture telephoto lens G Master “Sony FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS” with a focal length of 300mm F value of 2.8  E mount lens for commercialization in early 2024.

In response to further requests from front-line photographers, we are currently developing a large-aperture telephoto fixed focal length lens with a focal length of 300mm and an open F value of 2.8 as the G Master.

This lens is a large-aperture telephoto fixed focal length lens that is frequently used by professionals to meet the needs of shooting sports, news reports, and events. 
The 300mm F2.8 has been in high demand, and although it will take some time. Sony has a lineup of extremely lightweight and high-performance super-telephoto lenses such as the FE400mm F2.8 GM and FE 600mm F4 GM, so we decided to use a similarly lightweight and extremely high-performance lens for the next 300mm F2.8. We are looking forward to it.
