Last week, we reported that Sigma was expecting to announce three new lenses soon. Two of these lenses would be for full-frame cameras. One is a 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary and the other is a 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary. The third is an APS-C lens, the 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary. They’re expected to be announced next week, and we’ve already seen some rumoured specs.

Now, the first photo of the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens appears to have leaked. Not surprisingly, it looks very much like the other f/1.4 APS-C primes in Sigma’s DC DN lineup and brings the range up to a total of five lenses; Four primes and one 18-50mm f/2.8 zoom zoom lens. It’s now also been rumoured that the new lenses are expected to be announced on April 3rd.

Three new full-frame and APS-C Sigma lenses coming soon

Lens manufacturer Sigma is expected to announce three upcoming mirrorless lenses in their Contemporary range in the coming weeks. All three of the lenses are designated “DN”, which means they’re designed for mirrorless, but only two of them are also designated “DG”, denoting full-frame. The third is a “DC” lens destined for APS-C sensors.

The full-frame lenses are a wide angle 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary and a fairly standard 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary. While specs have only been leaked relating to the Sony E Mount version, I think it’s a safe bet to say they’ll be coming on L mount, too. The third is a 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary, offering a similar field of view go 35mm on full frame for Sony L, Leica L and Fuji X mount cameras.

The rumour mill gets a little quieter as Nokishita disappears from Twitter

Serial leakers, Nokishita appear to have shut down their Twitter account. Not just no longer posting, but completely gone, history, no more. Given the error message of “This account doesn’t exist”, rather than something that specifically notes “Account Suspended” suggests that the move was made voluntarily.

Nokishita did previously announce that the Nokishita account may be deleted “one day”, shown in the Wayback Machine screenshot below, which was recently updated to the new year period and it looks like they’ve made good on that promise.

It’s been tough for Nikon over the past year or so. So tough that rumors about Nikon’s exiting the camera business have started to spread. It’s just speculation for now, but the company’s share in the mirrorless market has been so small that it was enough for the rumors to spread like wildfire.

Sony is expected to announce a new entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera at some point in the next few weeks. We’ve heard some possible spec rumours about it already, and now it seems we might have a possible price point for it. And it looks well set to compete directly against the Canon EOS RP mirrorless.

Polish website Optyczne is reporting that the new Sony (we still don’t know if it’ll be called the A5 or the A6) is rumoured to be priced around $1,000 (the EOS RP is $999 body only) and would come at a significantly lower price than the Nikon Z5, which is currently listed at $1,399 body only.

Rumours of a potential entry-level full-frame Sony competitor to the Canon EOS RP and Nikon Z5 are not new. There have been speculation and whispers for a little while, and just a week ago there seemed to be a fairly solid tip that Sony was getting ready to announce something next month.

Well now, Sony Alpha Rumors is reporting some possible specs for an upcoming Sony A5 (or A6) entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera. They say these specs come from a new source and that it should be taken with “a HUGE grain of salt”, but it’s an interesting set of specs.
