The first leaked pictures of the four new Sigma lenses I reported about yesterday are now available:
Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art full frame DSLR lens:
Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art full frame DSLR lens:
Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art full frame DSLR lens:
As SonyAddict reported yesterday, a new batch of Sony a99 II cameras was coming to the US and the latest SLT model is already in stock at Adorama and Ace Photo (Amazon still show 1-3 months shipping time). The a99 II was announced back in September, 2016.
Also in stock now:
Three new Sigma Art lenses and one Contemporary lens are going to be announced soon (most likely for the CP+ in show in Japan next week):
All four lenses are designed for full frame DSLR cameras and will be available in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts.
Update: the four new Sigma lenses are now listed on the company’s official website:
Bryan Gateb from thebroketographers.com posted his first impressions on the new Fuji GFX 50S medium format digital camera ($6,499) at the Fujifilm GFX Owners Facebook group (check his blog post for additional information and pictures):
The new Yongnuo YN 85mm f/1.8 full frame lens for DSLR cameras I already reported about is now officially announced. The lens manual can be downloaded here. Check pricing and availability at Amazon and B&H (it seems that only the Canon version is currently available, the Nikon mount will probably be released later). Yongnuo is currently giving away three 85mm f/1.8 lenses to testers for free.

The three previously rumored Canon cameras are now officially announced:
Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera:
Here two lists of upcoming/rumored Canon products that should take place tonight for the 2017 CP+ show in Japan:
It appears that the rumors about a new Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art lens are back again (they have been going on since 2013). A new fast 135mm prime would make sense as this focal length will complete the current line of Sigma Art lenses:
The other rumored Sigma Art lens is a new 24-70mm f/2.8 that could be announced for the CP+ show later this month.
If there will also be a third new Sigma 14mm f/1.8 Art lens, it will most likely be APS-C based, a full frame 14mm f/1.8 is just going to be too big – the Zeiss 15mm f/2.8 lens for example is almost 2 lb (over 800 g):
→ The Sigma sd Quattro H mirrorless camera is now in stock.
→ Really Right Stuff released a new BX1D L-plate for the Hasselblad X1D camera (still out of stock).
→ Deal of the day: the Fujinon XF 18mm f/2 R lens is now on sale $349 at Amazon only ($250 or 42% off), the same lens is listed for $599 at B&H. Maybe Fuji is clearing their inventory and will refresh this lens in the future.
More after the break:
Last month Fujifilm announced a new Professional Service that will be launched in Europe on March 1st, 2017 (the Fujifilm GFX 50S is scheduled to start shipping on March 1st). Similar service is rumored to be coming to the US as well later this year.
