New Sigma 300-600mm f/4.0 lens tested on the Nikon!

As you know the new Sigma 300-600mm f/4.0 is an astonishing masterpiece that is NOT available as native Z-mount version.

Darek Dariuszbres tested the Sigma 300-600m lens on the Nikon Z9 via Megadap Pro and concluded:

Technological masterpiece , a top-shelf telephoto lens, which includes 500 4 and 600 4 class primes. Bright, fast, sharp throughout the entire range, universal, giving plastic frames, stuffed with the latest technologies and… above average sexy!
It’s not for Nikon? Pfff. I’ll permanently attach a megapad, solder it and it will be for Nikon.

There is also an advantage using this lens on a Nikon instead of on a Sony camera:

An interesting fact is that Sony limits the number of frames per second on some lenses, including the described Sigma, max 15 fps . Similarly, there are no teleconverters, they are only on the L-mount. I think this is a deliberate limitation to reduce competition, only Sony has such a schizophrenia. On Nikon, such limitations do not exist and if I give it 120 frames, that is how much it goes on the discussed Sigma, or some old lens from a century ago.

Cool 🙂

Matt Granger: Nikon Z Users BEWARE!

Yes, like many of you, I have an after market foot installed. But it was the MOUNT of the Foot that ripped off the lens body – so this impacts every 70-200s Z lens user.

First reviews of the Sirui Autofocus 1.33x Anamorphic 40mm T/1.8

The new Sirui Autofocus 1.33x Anamorphic 40mm T/1.8 is now in Stock at BHphoto and Amazon. This is one of the two anamorphic lenses with autofocus you can get (the second is the 50mm t/1.8 1.33x from Blazar). So check out these new reviews to see if autofocus really adds value in the amorphic world. Note: These reviews are of the E-mount version but results are obviously the same on the Z-mount 🙂
