In late January we announced three new lenses to be released by Sigma. Sigma just released the pricing and availability of those lenses. The updated 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM lens will be available in late March for $499 and the 30mm f/2.8 DN and 19mm f/2.8 DN lenses, which are available for both Micro Four Thirds and Sony E-Mount camera systems, will be also be available in late March for $199.
Read the full breakdown of the lenses here, but for a quick refresher, below is what the new optics look like:
30mm f/1.4 DC HSM
60mm f/2.8 DN
Sigma 19mm f/2.8 DN
Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN
I bought the previous version of the 30/2.8 about a month ago for my NEX6 and it's awesome. What's new about this updated version?
It sells for more.
I won't buy any more Sigma lenses after buying the 30 and 19 at $299 now worth less than junk bonds. Sigma needs to sell there lens at half what they are worth. I will wait for the Zeiss lenses that have real value.
I just bought the 'old' Sigma 30mm f1.4 at a bargain price as retailers are emptying their stocks. Love it, btw!
