Today Sigma officially released the price of their 28mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens for Nikon F-mount: $1,399 (as I already reported back in November last year). Pre-orders are now open at Adorama and B&H Photo. Shipping will start on January 25th. For comparison, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.4E ED costs $1,997.
Update – the UK price is £1,099: WEX Photo | Park Camera.
Sigma 28mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens design, MTF charts and technical specifcations:
Nikon will be the first company to offer true HDMI ProRes RAW 4k output with the Z6/Z7 mirrorless cameras (RAW video output is already available from other manufacturers like Blackmagic, but not from the HDMI port). The upgrade will come as a firmware update and this is probably the main reason for the new Nikon Z6 filmmaker’s kit (Adorama | B&H | Amazon) that includes also the Atomos Ninja V 4K HDR 5” monitor/recorder.
Panasonic is also rumored to introduce RAW video in their upcoming Lumix S full-frame mirrorless cameras, but we don’t have any details yet.
Additional information from Atomos:
Lexar is not the only company showing a terabyte memory card at CES. ProGrade Digital also demonstrated their new CFexpress 1TB memory card at the show:
ProGrade Digital memory cards are sold at B&H Photo and Amazon.
