[shopcountry 8892]

Photorumors compiled a list of the lenses that Sigma could possibly announce in 2014. Take everything with a grain of salt, though there will be new Sigma lenses next year. The list:

  • Sigma 24-105mm f/4 OS
  • Sigma 24-70mm f/2 OS HSM
  • Sigma 300mm f/2.8 OS
  • Sigma 400mm f/2.8 OS
  • Sigma 500mm f/4 OS
  • Sigma 600mm f/4 OS
  • Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG OS
  • Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG
  • a new Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens is also a possibility

Would be great if Sigma can deliver more outstanding lenses like the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM [shoplink 14551](price & specs)[/shoplink]. Let’s hope and wait. In the meantime you could like to read about the interview with the engineer that designed the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/1.4 lenses.

Moreover, German site Valuetech reports a rumor related to an upcoming Sig,a 24-105mm OS lens. This is a very interesting rumour. Since Canon will stop the production of the highly popular [shoplink 230]Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM (price & specs)[/shoplink] lens, it makes sense for Sigma to step in. Valuetech writes:

We’ve been told that lens manufacturer Sigma is close to announce a 24-105mm f/4 lens for fullframe DSLRs (the announcement could been expected some time in 2013), which might be a good replacement for the EoL Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS. Right now it’s not for sure if we’ll see an optical image stabilizer (OS) in it as well as if it will become a C-, A- or S-series lens regarding to Sigmas very own nomenclature.

More Hints That Canon Could Soon Announce the Next EOS M (two of them)

Canon Deals

More cues that we could soon see a/two new Canon EOS M camera(s). The latest rumor suggests that Canon could announce an entry level and a more feature-rich EOS M body at the same time. The more pro oriented body should be available with some interesting accessories, as an EVF and a new flash. The basic model is said to come with more color options as the actual EOS M and to have a concretely lower price tag. Hints that these rumors are solid are also given by the fact that more and more shops lists the EOS M as discontinued. FInally, there should be a new telephoto lens for the EOS M system.

I have been told (and am pretty sure) that Canon will announce the new EOS M before X-Mas- Stay tuned.

B&H still has some EOS M kits and all are heavily discounted, same for Amazon.

Another Sign That the Next Canon EOS M Could Soon Be Announced

Now also B&H lists the Canon EOS M kit with the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens as discontinued. It appears more every week more obvious that stocks are emptied. Adorama does no longer have any EOS M kit available, while B&H still has some EOS M kits and all are heavily discounted, same for Amazon.

The latest related rumor suggests there will be at least one new EOS M system before X-Mas.

Rumor: New Canon L Lenses in September

The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II lens, one of Canon’s most regarded lenses

Take it with a grain of salt, I didn’t hear about this. A new rumour that surfaced on the web suggests Canon may announce some new “L”-grade lenses in late september. No mention about the focal range or other information about the lenses. That’s all :)
