Specs leak for upcoming Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Sports series lens

by Leave a Comment

Sigma has always been a popular company for long zoom lenses from the original 50-500mm f/4-6.3 “Bigma” to the expensive and comically large 200-500mm f/2.8. But the new Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports series lens has been hotly anticipated in Sigma’s current transition from DSLR lenses to mirrorless lenses.

The “DN” designation on the new lens denotes that it’s been designed specifically for mirrorless cameras. Now, some of the specs for the new lens have leaked. And it appears that it will be compatible with the Sigma TC-1411 and TC-2011 teleconverters!

Price & release date for Panasonic 25-50mm f/1.7 leaked by Amazon ahead of announcement

by Leave a Comment

 

Well, it looks like Panasonic might have also had an announcement originally planned for today, too – which was no doubt delayed for the same reason as Sony once somebody realised the significance of the date in Japan and China.

The reason it looks like this might have been the case is that Panasonic’s new 25-50mm f/1.7 lens popped up for pre-order on Amazon briefly today, complete with specs and a price, before an official announcement from Panasonic. And it seems to tally up with the recent leak.

Specs leak for upcoming Panasonic Leica 25-50mm f/1.7 – announcement maybe this week

by Leave a Comment

Last week, the above image leaked of the upcoming Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1.7 ASPH Micro Four Thirds lens, first mentioned during the Panasonic GH6 development announcement. Now, Nokishita (who else?) has leaked some of the specs for the new lens, which is expected to “probably” be announced sometime this week.

Whether or not we’ll actually hear an official announcement this week remains to be seen, but it certainly is an attractive looking lens. If the Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25mm f/1.7 ASPH price of around $1,800 is anything to go by, though, it definitely won’t be cheap!

More Olympus M.Zuiko 8-25mm f/4 Pro lens photos leak along with specs

by Leave a Comment

More photos of the upcoming Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 Pro lens have leaked, along with the complete specs. As expected, the new OM Digital lens will carry the Olympus branding. OM Digital has said that they’ve secured the use of the name for the next few years, but exactly how long that might last is unknown.

It’s expected to be announced alongside the Olympus PEN E-P7 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, for which images were also recently leaked. There’s no specs for the camera yet, although the complete specs for lens have been leaked, along with an expected price tag of $1,099.

Full specs leak for the Panasonic GH5 Mark II – Yes, that’s correct, not the GH6

by 12 Comments

Well, this is a surprise. And not really the good kind. While everybody’s been waiting for Panasonic to announce a GH6, which is apparently, definitely on the way, the specs leak for a new Panasonic Micro Four Thirds camera. It’s not the GH6, though. Oh no, apparently it’s the GH5 Mark II. And it’s not going to have the specs people were expecting for a hypothetical GH6, either.

The specs have been leaked via Nokishita and, well, really, it looks like a pretty tiny incremental update over 2017’s Panasonic GH5. The sensor’s still the same 20.33-megapixel resolution, the max video resolution is 4K 60p, it’s the same 3.68m-dot EVF, and well, same everything really.

Retailers leak complete Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art specs, photos and prices early

by Leave a Comment

It’s not really much of a surprise that with the official announcement expected tomorrow we’re seeing leaks. This time, though, it doesn’t come from Nokishita. Well, it sort of does, but not directly. This time they’re just the messenger. British retailer Campkins Cameras and Dutch retailer Foto Konijnenberg both published complete product listings for the upcoming Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art series lens for L & E mounts a day early.

According to the now-removed listings (thanks, Google Cache!), the UK price will be £745 with the EU price coming in at €849. This tallies up with the previously rumoured $899 price for the USA. The specs pretty much confirm those leaked by Nokishita a few days ago, and also offers up a couple more that weren’t in the previous leak.

Fujifilm leaks themselves – photos and full specs of the upcoming Instax Mini 40

by Leave a Comment

According to pttl.gr, Fujifilm has leaked themselves,  posting all of the upcoming Instax Mini 40 on the Instax website site a little early. Expected to be announced on April 7th, it looks like somebody was a little too eager with that publish button. The content has been removed from the Instax website now, although screenshots were captured by the folks at pttl.

Fujifilm has been teasing the camera on Instagram for a few days now, although there’s no word on a price yet. And while the camera might have been covered up in the Instagram post, the photos that temporarily appeared on the Instax website show the new camera from all angles, along with a complete list of specs.

Leaked photos show new Sigma fp L to come with 60.2-megapixel sensor

by Leave a Comment

According to a report over on L-Rumors, the new Sigma fp L will house a 60.2-megapixel sensor. They show screenshots of a folder of images found on Sigma’s web server, along with EXIF data showing a whopping 9520×6328 pixel resolution.

The sensor that will come in the Sigma fp L is not a Foveon, although it’s not quite a Bayer sensor, either, featuring what is rumoured to be a unique colour filter array layout that’s a bit reminiscent of the Fuji Super CCD sensors from back when they used to make DSLRs.

First Sony FX3 specs leak with more photos – it’s basically an A7S III in a slightly different body

by 2 Comments

YouTuber Gaston Shutters has shared several videos of the Sony FX3 along with some of the specs. His source, he says, tells him that this is basically the exact same camera as the Sony A7S III but in a slightly different body. It’s supposedly lighter than the A7S III in order to help those who want to take advantage of filming from Sony’s new Airpeak drone platform.
