Let’s hope it becomes true in a not so distant future though, I would love to have a Leica 135mm APO lens. I hope so too, but what sing the Duo Zager and Evans (about 1969?) - In the year 2525 .... . .. but there was a "pancake" 2/200mm from Laowa in the Sony-pipeline, I hope the Sigma will be a bit smaller ....

helged Posted August 11 Share #23 Posted August 11 (edited) Looks monstrous. As expected. Can be fun to play with, I imagine, but hardly a lens for descretion (or aging shoulders). Edited August 11 by helged 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 4 months ago, I emailed Sigma Aizu asking if they had any plans on producing a Contemporary 200mm, i.e. SMALL, like we had in the film days from Minolta and Nikon. The answer was negative. But I suggest that people keep emailing them and asking for one. Maybe they'll get the clue. The person who I contacted agreed that it would be a boon to landscape photographers, especially since no one makes one these days. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 200mm-ish lens for lanscape etc on SLx is Leica APO-Elmar-S 180 mm f/3.5. Not small by any means, but quite low weight. And with an incredible sharpness, including on SL3. An underrated lens as far as I can tell. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an older manual Voigtländer 180mm/F4.0 Apo Lantar SL (Nikon mount) lens, made by Cosina. Not comparable by any means of the release of a fast autofocus Sigma 200mm/F2.0 lens of course. But the quality is very good. Specially by the absence of LoCA. And also at close focus distance = 1.2 m (1:4) it offer great quality. Small and weight is just under 500 grams. (That's why I bought it in those days). https://phillipreeve.net/blog/review-voigtlander-180mm-4-0-sl-apo-lanthar/ - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very fine 200mm-ish lens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

helged Posted August 12 Share #31 Posted August 12 45 minutes ago, frame-it said: though leica will prolly re-brand it and sell it for $8000 😊 If so, that would be a steal, sort of... Would think a factor 2.5-3 higher than Sigma, so $10000+. But the odds are lower than low. Good that Sigma delivers, though! Thinking about it, the L-mount collaboration still lacks a body that approaches the big players wrt quick, reliable and robust focus tracking. That SL3 still has the beta animal tracking, almost 1.5 years after the release, is sort of underwhelming. It's fine to have lenses with (ulrra)fast AF, but the the other side of the lens mount needs to be up to speed as well... Let's say at a level of Canon R5 II or thereabout. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's a typo. The 2001 and 1401 are for Canon and Nikon and and they don't protrude that far into the lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikon probably won't let them sell the lens in Z mount, but a lot of Nikon shooters will still want it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
