Today Sigma registered a new USB Dock system for L-mount lenses. Announcement should be soon and let’s hope we will also get the 70-200mm f/2.8 L-mount lens…

A chinese film maker Yu Yue reports about a possible new cinema L-mount cinema camera that might be named Pansonic S1V. He also spilled out those specs:

New enhanced version S1H(S1V?)
4K 120P Netflix approved codec,
11.8M pixels CMOS
Great low light performance,
Enhanced all pixels DFD,
4K 120P HDR 12 Bit Raw external recording,
Coming this year.

I really haven’t heard anything about such a camera yet. Drop me a message if you know more about this!

We learned Sigma will have a press conference on February 27 at 10:00–12:00 local time. There is no info about what new products we will get. I think it’s a safe bet to think new L-mount lenses will be announced. Maybe the 70-200mm f/2.8?

I hope Sigma will also spill out some more info about their future L-mount Foveon Full Frame camera!

A patent shows that Sigma plans to release a set of new “affordable” fast primes:

• 16mm F2
• 18mm F1.8
• 18mm F2.8
• 20mm F1.8
• 24mm F1.8
• 28mm F1.8
• 35mm F1.8

Solid sources told me that Sigma will announced the new 70-200mm f/2.8 L-mount lens in early 2020. No info on pricing yet…
