You can now preorder the new Sigma 24-70mm FE lens at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera. WexUK. And the pricing is a strong kick in Sony’s b…s :)
At nearly 50% of the Sony GM price you get same specs, slightly smaller lens and I bet Image Quality will be on par too. The only real strong point of the Sony lens will be the better AF performance but that’s about it.
And Sigma is fully commited to release more excellent FE lenses. A new patent unveiled these tw new f/1.2 lens designs:
Here is the 50mm f/1.2 lens design with specs:
Focal length: 50.99 mm
F no: 1.25
2ω : 45.97
Image height: 21.63 mm
Lens length: 154.20 mm
Here is the 40mm f/1.2 lens design with specs:
Focal length: 41.35 mm
F no: 1.26
2ω : 57.17
Image height: 21.63 mm
Lens length: 157.00 mm
Compared to the current Sigma 35mm f/1.2 FE lens this new 50mm FE would be nearly 2cm longer. Quite a beast!
Oh yes folks, Canon is really going crazy with the super fast RF lenses. There is a brand newly published japanese patent describing the specs of new f/1.0 and f/1.2 RF lenses:
18mm f/1.2 lens specs:
Focal length: 18.51 mm
F no: 1.24

Back focus: 16.40 mm
25mm f/1.2 lens specs:

F no: 1.24
ω : 41.35
Image height: 21.64 mm
Lens length: 129.01 mm

Now we all know the patent world is a parallel universe of possibilities that might not be realized in our simple 11 dimensional universe (according to string theory). And particularly this 18mm f/1.0 lens really sounds out of this world! If they make it I will jump for joy naked in front of the Canon Tokyo headquarters! And that might be a good reason for them to not make it at all :)
