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…
This new Sigma patent describes the optical design and physical dimensions of the new 28mm f/1.2 lens for mirrorless Full Frame system cameras. I am not sure but this might be the fastest 28mm FF lens ever made!
Lens specs:
Focal length: 28.90
F-Number : 1.25
Half Angle : 76.94
Image height: 21.63
Lens length: 157.00

The Photokina organization issued a press release which contains a statement from Panasonic manager Yosuke Yamane:
“For many years, photokina has been the ideal platform for us to present our product innovations. The Imaging industry is facing big changes and challenges these days. In 2020, we will also be coming to Cologne with big expectations in the new photokina format and are looking forward to contributing with great innovations.
Unlike Panasonic Olympus has decided to NOT participate at Photokina. And also other big players like Leica and Nikon decided to skip the event which will start on May 27.

There will be soon a new Rumiere APO 75mm f/0.95 lens for L-mount!
As reported by SAR this lens “will be priced about half of nikon’s new noct F0.95“. It will be first available for E-mount and sometimes later as L-mount too!
Nokishita just leaked this image of the Leica SL camera. It has some small difference from the previous model (see it here). Now it has a near full body texture and a “ring” around the mount. Also the grip seems to be slightly curved.
More important are the changes inside:
– New 47 megapixel sensor
– Cine mode video
– 4K video
Code name of the camera seems to be”Vader” because of the low light capabilities 🙂
Announcement should happen pretty soon…
