Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 will go on sale on December 7 for €1699
Today Sigma Japan launched a teaser for a new November 16 announcement. I am 100% sure this is related to the new Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 (listed here at BH). So they will “only” announce the full specs and pricing. According to my source this lens will go on sale on December 7 for €1699. That’s €200 more than the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8.
New images of the Sigma 70-200mm lens (E-mount version)
Paul (Thanks!) sent us these two images of the new Sigma 70-200mm FE lens and wrote:
The rep couldn’t give me a price or official release date other than “It’ll be next month”.
He also was surprised by how light it was. “And everyone thought it would be heavy.”
I’d say it somewhat like holding a Tamron 70/180 which I was holding right before going to sigma to check it out. I’ve also owned the Sony 70-200 and that’s how I know the weight was less than that. I am curious if this was possibly an early copy and they maybe shed weight or need to add something to it. But it was a working copy.
It’s internal zoom and the lens has super smooth rings. Images looked sharp too. There’s custom 1/2 switches that they couldn’t tell me what it was for yet.
My downside to it would definitely be that it’s really long.
As we all know this lens comes in two mount versions: L and E mount. Pricing and availability is still not known but we will learn everything in December.
