Another rumor materialized today: Sigma announced the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG OS telephoto zoom lens.
Amazon is taking pre-orders for the different versions.
Official press release after the break:
IFA show (consumer electronics and home appliances) starts tomorrow in Berlin (September 4th – 6th, 2009). There was a rumor that Samsung may announce their NX camera system on that show (another rumor was that the Samsung NX will be postponed till next year). Amateurphotographer is also talking about late 2009 release.
Btw, make sure you don’t miss the Leica X1 and Leica M9 coverage @ LeicaRumors.
Ricoh is working on a compact camera based on Pentax’s K mount. It’s not clear if they would use the exact K mount or the M 4/3 approach by keeping the mount diameter in-tact and reducing the distance so that older K mount lenses still can be used via an adapter and a new series of new “micro K mount” lenses will be introduced. Product launch is estimated at the end of this year or early next year.
Panasonic should release three new lenses in 2010: 100-300mm f/4-5.6 OIS, 8mm f/3.5 fisheye, and 14mm f2.8 prime lens.
The rumored new Sigma 70-300 OS lens should be released this Friday.
Ok, you know the drill: pre-order option, press release:
Dpreview just could not wait till tomorrow…
