16-28mm

Sigma confirms product launch event on June 1st – it’s a short one, though

May 25, 2022 by John Aldred Add Comment

Sigma has scheduled a live Sigma Stage event on their YouTube channel for June 1st. The video description says that there are “new products” (plural) on the way. According to the official announcement on the Sigma Global website, however, the event is scheduled to only last for 30 minutes. So, if it is going to be multiple products, they’re probably going to be rushing through them quite quickly and I doubt there’ll be anything groundbreaking.

I wouldn’t expect any new camera announcements for this one, although it has been rumoured that Sigma is getting ready to announce a new Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens for Leica L and Sony E mount camera systems. So, I think that one’s probably a safe bet. If there’s anything else, it’ll probably be something relatively minor.

Tokina launches low budget 16-28mm f/2.8 “Opera” lens for Nikon and Canon full frame DSLRs

Tokina has announced their new “Opera” 16-28mm f/2.8 full frame lenses for Nikon & Canon DSLRs. Sitting at a pretty low price point compared to the Nikon and Canon alternatives, the new lens is targeted towards landscape, architectural and astrophotography uses. Of course, with a lens this short of focal length and this wide of an aperture, there are many other potential uses for it, too.
