SLR Magic Cine Lens Sale

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 3, 2018


You can save up to $400 on SLR Magic Cine lenses right now. Many of their Cine lenses completely cover a full frame sensor so you can use them for photography too. I might pick up a few of these lenses considering how good the price is if the deal lasts. You can find a list of the E-Mount lenses on sale here along with preorder links to the new SLR Magic Cine lenses that will replace some of these discounted lenses.

Voigtlander MACRO APO LANTHAR 110mm f/2.5 vs Sony FE 100mm F2.8 STF GM OSS vs Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Size Comparison

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 3, 2018


Camerasize added the Voigtlander MACRO APO LANTHAR 110mm f/2.5 to their comparison tool. The new Voigtlander 110mm should be a great option for those that do not mind manually focusing when it ships in August. This very versatile lens isn’t exactly compact, but it should provide a lot of value for the price of $1,099.

Sigma 14mm and 135mm Available July 6th

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 3, 2018


Sigma has been slowly rolling out their ART lenses for Sony E-mount and according to Nokishita the Sigma 14mm and 135mm will ship July 6th. There have been formal announcements about shipments by Sigma in the past, but they have been incredibly inconsistent about shipping these lenses on time, but if Nokishita is correct it’s possible Sigma will ship all of their E-mount lenses by the end of the month.

Shipping July 6th
