So there's finally real pricing on all of Sigma's new lenses (except the 85/1.4 which is clearly being released last)
50-500mm OS - $1600 (
already reviewed by Juza, basically the same IQ as the previous Bigma, now the same price as the Canon 100-400 which pretty much has more/the same resolution at 400mm as the sigma does at 500mm, and he says the OS on the sigma is only good for one stop (disappoint!) and the 12 year old Canon is good for two stops stabilization. So the price is a bit steep and the OS isn't that useful, but the prices on the old Bigma should go down so that's good [edit]Also it's two kilograms. Why lift weights when you can be a photographer?[/edit])
70-200mm OS - $1700 (they
seriously better have made it considerably sharper than the non-OS for that money and considering that the Bigma has the same IQ as the non-OS Bigma I doubt it... that's a 100% price increase over the old one FFS. On the plus, it's still quite a bit less money than the new and even more expensive Canikon 70-200 2.8s)
8-16mm - $700 (that kind of insane wide angleness doesn't come cheap, but nevertheless it's a good price being a bit less than the Canikon 10-2x zooms)
17-50mm OS - $670 (that's fair. I'm anxious to see some tests of this sucker, curious to see if Sigma finally has something to put a dent in Tamron's rivers of cash coming from their 17-50. I bet lenstip gets it first (by gum their reviews are useless, poorly done, poorly presented, and they use a random assortment of bodies so it's not even possible to compare lenses, but they somehow tend to put up sample images before anyone else even touches new lenses))
Come on Tamron and actually release your new 70-300 already!
