Viltrox Teases Four L-Mount Air Lenses and Two Fast APS-C Options
Viltrox is bringing four of its lightweight Air series autofocus lenses to L-mount: the 14mm F4, 20mm F2.8, 40mm F2.5 and 50mm F2. That 14mm in particular is notable given how thin the affordable ultrawide AF options are for L-mount shooters. Two new APS-C F1.2 Pro lenses are also coming: an 18mm and a 40mm. Pricing and availability aren't confirmed yet. A new high-power flash was mentioned, but whether it's a speedlight, strobe, or something else is still unspecified.

Sigma 50mm F1.4 CL: New Vintage-Style Line Trades Corner Sharpness for Character
Sigma's new 50mm F1.4 CL DG Contemporary is the first lens in a new CL line, positioned within the I series family: aluminium build, knurled hood, depth-of-field scale, 375g, 65mm long, 52mm filter thread, dust and splash sealed. Nine elements in six groups, three aspherics, one FLD element, minimum focus 0.45m. Sigma has stated openly that corner sharpness was sacrificed for size and rendering character, with soft falloff by design.
