We first found out about the upcoming Sigma 150-600mm Sports here. Now Nokishita has a price range for us stating that the lens would fall between the Tamron 150-500mm price of 170,000 yen ($1546.31 USD) and 200,000 yen ($1819.19 USD) with Nokishita guessing 180,000 yen ($1637.27 USD).
According to unconfirmed information about the domestic price of Sigma 150-600mm Sports, “The suggested retail price in Japan will be a little higher than Tamron’s 150-500 (170,000 excluding tax)” “The list price will not exceed 200,000 yen including tax” So, is the suggested retail price around 180,000 yen excluding tax?
The L mount version of Sigma “150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports” has a lens configuration of 25 elements in 15 groups, a minimum shooting distance of 58cm-280cm, a maximum shooting magnification of 1: 2.9 (at 180mm), and 9 aperture blades (at 180mm). (Circular aperture), filter size φ95mm, size φ109.4×263.6mm, weight 2100g (including tripod mount), teleconverter (TC-1411 / TC-2011) seems to be compatible.

The Sony ZV-E10 launch was delayed on short notice and on the day that it was supposed to launch a few videos were posted by accident, but this was the main one. I tried to get some grabs last time before it was pulled and this time I was able to before anything happened.

Sony FE 35mm f/1.8: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Optical Limits released its Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 review and the lens sounds like a good value. You can check out the full review here if you want an in-depth look or read part of the conclusion below:
The Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 is a decent performer but it doesn’t excel in all categories. In terms of resolution, it is basically as good as it gets in the image center but the corners are “only” good to very good at mainstream settings and fairly weak corners at f/1.8. Lateral CAs are on the high side although this can be easily corrected. The slight pincushion distortion isn’t an obstacle for auto-correction either. The same can’t be said about vignetting which is very high in RAW files and still visible with activated auto-correction. The quality of the bokeh is pretty good, especially in the image background. Bokeh fringing (LoCA) can be visible at large-aperture settings though.
The build quality is pretty good without reaching pro levels. You can feel that the outer metal shell is fairly thin but Sony made a decent effort for a consumer-grade lens. The chassis is dust- and moisture-resistant and it doesn’t extend during focusing – as it should be. The broad focus ring is very smooth to operate. The AF is quick and noiseless. It would have been nice if Sony implemented an optical image stabilizer. However, most Sony cameras feature IBIS these days so it’s an understandable decision in order to keep the costs at bay.
