Yesterday night I was on Sigma's website:
There was a very nice, 15' long movie made with the new cine-lenses 18-35 and 50-100, a work of two years preparation. A nicely told story about photography and blur.
They also mad the step to update their crappy RAW-converter, so that the Mac version now finally reached 64 bit. Pity, it's still not as fast as the windows version. :angry:
One firmware update for the 35/1.4, the other updates are mostly for Canon users :unsure: A new USB-dock software as well.
So there's still some life in Sigma, but a couple of developments I don't understand and I don't follow this path. The new 85/1.4 Art is somewhere in between an Otus and a standard 85/1.4 or 85/1.2 weight- and size wise. Running around with close to 3 kg to portrait people? Or with less than half of it and still have eye-detection?
I was hoping, Sigma would add some interesting lenses to Fuji X as their own SD quattro lacks also a bit of HQ and fast APS-C lenses - so, at the moment this Tamron is the most interesting lens to me.
