CES 2014: Sigma has announced the 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM | C, a superzoom lens for APS-C / DX format SLRs. With a 28-300mm equivalent zoom range, it’s smaller and lighter than its predecessor, and has a shorter minimum focus distance. It will be available in Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma, and Sony mounts; as usual the Pentax and Sony versions won’t have optical stabilisation. Availability is still to be confirmed but Sigma USA has set a recommended price of $ 399.

50mm-news-520.png

CES 2014: Sigma has announced the 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | A, a fast ‘normal’ prime for full frame DSLRs. It will also work on APS-C / DX format cameras, offering a 75mm equivalent short telephoto effect. It’s a completely new lens, rather than a revision of Sigma’s existing 50mm F1.4, with an unusually complex optical formula for its type (13 elements in 8 groups). It’ll come in Canon, Nikon, Sigma and Sony mounts; pricing and availability are still to be confirmed.

23. Türchen: Sigma

23 Dec

23. Türchen

Nicht nur morgen, Kinder, wird’s was geben. Auch heute ist in unserem Türchen etwas, bei dem Fotografenherzen höher schlagen. Unser Sponsor Sigma hat sich nicht lumpen lassen und ein ganz großartiges Objektiv in den Adventskalender gelegt: Das 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM.

Mit einer Festbrennweite von 35mm und einer Blende von f/1.4 ist es nicht nur unglaublich lichtstark. Mit diesem Objektiv könnt Ihr das wohl sahnigste Bokeh nutzen. Sigma selbst beschreibt das Objektiv als Künstlerobjektiv:

Bei geschlossener Blende beispielsweise erzielt es die Tiefenwirkung eines Weitwinkelobjektivs, während es, wenn die Blende bis f/1.4 geöffnet wird, dem Hintergrund einen schönen Bokeh-Effekt verleiht und das Motiv hervortreten lässt wie bei einem Teleobjektiv mittlerer Brennweite. Ein weiterer besonderer Vorteil ist die vielseitige Anwendbarkeit für künstlerische Zwecke.

Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM

Mehr über dieses Objektiv könnt Ihr auf der Homepage von Sigma selbst lesen und vor allem auch sehen. Wir sind ein wenig neidisch auf den heutigen Gewinner, wünschen Euch allen aber natürlich wieder Losglück.

Um das Objektiv zu gewinnen, schreibe einen Kommentar unter bürgerlichem Namen und gültiger E-Mail-Adresse bis heute um 24 Uhr. Danach verlosen wir es per Zufallsgenerator unter allen Kommentatoren. Die genauen Gewinnspielregeln findest Du hier. Viel Glück!
