You can now preorder the new Radiant Mega Sling on Kickstarter (Click here).
Reminder: Asuizo launched their new Card reader case on Kickstarter (Click here). It stores 4x SD cards, 12x Micro SD cards, 4x Nano SIM cards. It protects your data against dust and moisture and fall. This is how it works:
While the US pricing should be just under $3,000 ( I guess $2999) the European pricing will be around 3500 Euro. A bit too high probably? What do you think?
Sigma will announce those two new lenses on Feb 21:
Sigma 500mm f/5.6 specs:
Hi!
As you saw the new theme is online. But this is a work in progress…many things have to be fixed 🙂
If you are an Amazon Prime subscriber you get $20 Amazon credit when downloading and using their Photo backup service (Click here). This service is FREE for all prime subscribers and you will get your credit within a few days. And after that you can continue to use it or get rid of it if you don’t like the service. But you keep the $20…it might be useful when you buy the future Leica SL3 🙂
Reminder: $129 for the Ritz 256GB SD card sold by Amazon. Best V90 pricing yet!
For me this means I have to wake up early and live blog at 2am my time 🙁

Sigma announcement on Feb 20/21:
Damn what a surprise! Around February 21 (day varies according to timezone) Sigma will announce two new lenses:
And that 15mm f/1.4 is a never seen before kind of lens. Nobody ever made such a fast Full Frame Fisheye lens before. The only lenses coming close are the Olympus 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO (it’s a MFT lens so FF equivalence is 16mm f/3.6) and the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Lens. Having a f/1.4 fisheye lens will likely open some new possibilities never explored before. Bold move Sigma! But I wonder how big this lens will be! I bet it’s going to be massive! I hope trusted sources can soon share some images and full specs of this lens.

Circular vs Diagonal Fisheye:
The circular fisheye effect gives a 180-degree angle of view across the whole periphery.
A diagonal fisheye effect captures a roughly 180-degree diagonal angle-of-view and a greatly distorted view of the image periphery. This effect is also known as a “full-frame fisheye” effect because the resulting image covers the entire frame.
