Sigma 50mm F1.4 CL due spring 2027, FX5 anamorphic test, Sony vs Nikon
Sigma has confirmed an early spring 2027 launch for the 50mm F1.4 CL DG Contemporary, a 375g all-metal prime for L-Mount and Sony E-mount with an RDD autofocus motor, price not yet announced. Fstoppers has tested whether the Sony FX5 can run open gate, IBIS and anamorphic desqueeze at the same time, and has put Sony's 400mm f/4.5 and 600mm f/6.3 against their Nikon counterparts, with the Sony lenses lighter and cheaper on both. Per a Japanese publication, the Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f/2.8 has been discontinued at Japanese retailers.
