SIGMA: New 85mm/1.4, new 70-200 stabilized

[PhotoXopher]

I'm going to throw in a guess:
70-200 @ $1199 and $699 for the 85mm.

I'm going to throw in a guess:
70-200 @ $1199 and $699 for the 85mm.

I think those are pretty good guesses but I am hoping the 70-200 is a little cheaper then that. Or at the very least lowers the price of the current sigma 70-200 f2.8.

Kinda sucks because I just got their current 70-200 late last week and need one for a wedding in May.

GAH!

 

[Darkhunter139]

I was currently in the process of saving up for that one but I might be saving a little longer now .

How do you like it?

 

[PhotoXopher]

I love it so far, feels solid and focus is very fast.

I hope their new 17-50 f2.8 OS lense is equal to the canon 17-55 f2.8, and cheaper!

Any idea when they're going to release pricing for these? That 8-16 is jawdroppingly wide and the 70-200 OS could be very interesting if it can compete with Nikon's 70-200, even the older VR I.

I tried the current Sigma 70-200 a little while ago and was somewhat unimpressed after experimenting with Nikon's 70-200 and 80-200. If you actually look at the two Sigma 70-200's side-by-side (current version and the new OS version), you'll see that they are a completely different design. The new OS model also has nano-coating, so I'm hoping it's a new optical design.

70-200 @ $1199 and $699 for the 85mm.

I think that's a pretty good guess on the 70-200, but the 85 is going to be alot more expensive than that.

I bet the 85 is about 1000-1200 bucks.

I'm hoping the new OS Bigma is at least as good as the non-OS version. If so, I'll probably get it.

If this lens is anything like the 50mm 1.4, the game is on. I only one one Sigma, but can't wait to buy the 85mm 1.4. Go Sigma go
