New Zeiss and Sigma for Sony NEX lenses Soon available.
Sigma announces a 60mm F/2.8 prime for Sony NEX and MFT users. Equivalents in 135 film format are: Sony 90mm, and MFT 120mm. I’m thinking portrait and low light sports use, or maybe landscape pans. The price is great—$239, let’s hope the optical quality is too. Of course …

The Panasonic Lumix G 100-300mm F/4-5.6 (check price) covers 200-600mm in 135 film format, that’s super tight! Fortunately, the lens weights in at just over 1lb or 512g, and is only slightly larger than a mid range zoom for an APS-C camera! Also, you can think of it as a good …
