Paolou Pigini Posted November 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) It appears that Sigma is considering to release also long primes in the future and I bet we will see them already the next year. If I'm not wrong there are patents for at least the following tele lenses: 200 f/2, 300 f/2.8, 400 f/4 I'm curious to know if there would be anyone interested in the use of these lenses in the L mount since the system is usually considered not good for sport and fauna. Personally I would be really interested in one of these lenses, 300 f/2.8 or 400 f/4 in particular, hoping for a good usability also with the TC 2011 I recently ordered, considering I'm already really satisfied with the current AF-C DFD (despite of the critics). I'm sure Sigma will surprise us with acceptable price (that's my main concern) and weight. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, SL90-280 already has the 300mm-ish reach. Another factor in favour of f4 is that f2.8 lenses are generally large/heavy compared to their f4 siblings. Fresnel optics may alter this, but I guess Sigma comes with conventional optics. Time will tell... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
