Sony NEX Sigma 30mm Lens Mockup

Image
Here is a mockup of an autofocus Sigma 30mm f/2.8 lens for the Sony NEX E-mount. This will give us a normal field of view of 45mm on the NEX's APS-C sensor. The lens is being shown in the Sony booth at CP+ (Camera and Photo Imaging) convention in Japan. The lens is nice and compact and should be reasonably priced since it is from Sigma. Thanks Akihabara News !

Sony NEX Sigma Optical Stabilizer Test

Image
We posted about the Bigma on the NEX-VG10 before but this video shows how well the OS (Optical Stabilizer) function of the Sigma 50-500mm lens works. The test by YoshiroOh uses a Sony NEX-VG10 camcorder , a LA-EA1 Sony Alpha lens adapter, and the Bigma. The lens is tapped by a finger to introduce vibration and the OS is at three different settings, OFF, 1, and 2 Vertical. The Optical Stabilizer of the Bigma seems to work fine. This video is before the new NEX-VG10 Firmware 02 update so it could have improved since then. If you have a NEX-3 or NEX-5 and the Bigma, we'd like to see if the results are the same.
