At PhotoPlus this week, Nikon announced a pair of new professional FX-format lenses:
The new 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens features an updated optical formula and serves as the successor to the AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens. The magnesium alloy lens barrel is weather sealed and is lighter than its predecessor. [Read more…]
Sigma’s refreshed Micro Four Thirds and NEX primes, the 30mm F2.8 DN and 19mm F2.8 DN lenses, will begin shipping later in March for $199 each.
These new lenses are priced the same as their predecessors and should be solid additions to mirrorless kits – particularly the NEX versions due to the limited selection of available lenses thus far. I own the 30mm in the older version in NEX mount and have been more than happy with the performance it delivered at the $199 price point.
You can order the new, improved versions from B&H at the below links.
