(FT3) Sigma will launch new ART lenses with MFT mount at Photokina.

Share

You probably have heard about the latest Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens (Click here) whose quality is almost as good as the $4,000 Zeiss Otus. This is just to say how Sigma is being “serious” with their new “ART” lens line.
It’s said “some” of them will have fast aperture. Well, according to one source Sigma will display new ART lenses with Micro Four Thirds mount at Photokina! And unlike the current MFT lenses, the 19mm (here at Amazon), 30mm (here at Amazon) and 60mm (here at Amazon) the sources said “some” of these lenses will have a fast aperture. The only not so good news is that also these new lenses will share the same lens design for all mirrorless mounts. A “dedicated” MFT lens design would have allowed Sigma to make them more compact because of the slightly smaller sensor size.

Now you can dream of some nice fast lens. What’s your wish?

(FT2) some more LX8 info…

Share

Another (yet not trusted source) told me this about the LX8. So take it as FT2 only:

– Weather sealed (but unclear if they will market this due to warranty concerns)
– EVF resolution is 1.44 Million dot
– 5 axis Stabilization for stills and video

Let’s hope the source is right…Thanks!

Apple kills Aperture. Ready for a world dominated by Adobe?

Share

Loopinsight reports that Apple will kill Aperture. Apple told them:

“With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them from anywhere, there will be no new development of Aperture,” said Apple in a statement provided to The Loop. “When Photos for OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture libraries to Photos for OS X.”

Adobe’s world domination is almost fulfilled. Not a good news if we lack of competition :(
