Lots of new Sigma lenses (9) for Sony FE
#3
I'm still waiting. Yesterday I went to a photo dealer where a Sony rep presented the new α7III (and the α9, too). Much smaller bodies than Nikon FF - and one battery grip for both types (contrary to Nikon and their "new grips for each body, but none with a real benefit"). Body can be charged by USB (therefore a powerbank is increasing the capacity, no need to buy half dozen batteries). Speaking of batteries: Nikon's strategy of using the sam EN-EL15 battery for most of their advanced DSLR is a good thing. But with D850 one has to bring more than only one spare battery - and if LiveView is involved, I nearly see the battery indicator running low.

α7III costs the same like a Fuji X-H1 but comes with a larger sensor. And is a bit smaller than the Fuji.

Adapters? No, thanks. But if I get a positive reply from Sigma's importer in terms of "lens mount conversion can also be done for Nikon to Sony", then there's a real chance that I skip waiting for a Nikon mirrorless. Because even if the Nikon version is (surprisingly) good right from the start: Knowing Nikon and their accessory strategies, I know they will create some stuff without thinking it through.

And until then I still can enjoy the Nikon experience. Thinking of it: Nikon already is depending a lot by sensor suppliers as well as LCD suppliers. Going mirrorless, they also need suppliers for EVF. Sony only has troubles with a smaller lens portfolio - else than that, nearly everything of the part can be made by themselves, to their own specs. And already knowing my Sigma lenses well enough, I'd be happy to put them in front of a Sony. I would loose less money than if I sold them and bought Sony glass instead.
