Sigma announces new 35mm F1.2 for full-frame Sony and Leica cameras
Sigma has announced a new 35mm F1.2 DG Art series prime for Sony E-mount and Leica SL-mount cameras. This new DG II model is a completely new design and replaces the previous version.

Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B 1TB limited time deal at Amazon
Amazon UK has a limited-time deal on Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B 1TB [affiliate link*] at just £259.99 instead of the usual £300+ price (inc VAT). As a new Gen 4.0 card, the 1TB Type B Lexar has 3600/3000MB/s read/write speeds and, more importantly perhaps, a sustained (max) 2600MB/s write speed. I have one myself, and it’s both super fast and reliable. While most cameras benefit from those higher sustained write speeds, a suitable TB4 card reader is necessary to get the best out of it in workflow terms. *As an Amazon associate, I may earn commission on sales via these links.
