Tamron is bringing the 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD lens that was originally announced for Sony E-mount in 2022 to Nikon Z-mount.
Tamron has announced a new 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras which is expected to be available from this fall.
In addition to the impressive new a9 mirrorless camera, Sony also debuted a new lens today. Meet the brand-new 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 OSS G Master super telephoto zoom lens—the longest E-mount lens Sony has ever manufactured.
When Sigma calls their new Contemporary 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM a "light bazooka," we're not sure which definition of "light" they're using. But given the lens' f/5 max aperture and ultra-light construction, we're going to guess they mean light as in lightweight.
Holy product leaks Batman! Info and photo leaks don't get much more comprehensive than this. In what they're actually titling the official introduction post, Canon Rumors has posted four higher res product shots of the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II alongside full specs, pricing, and a detailed description of the lens from top to bottom.
At this point, it would be a formality for Canon to even announce the darn thing. But if you want to save the surprise for the official announcement of this Unicorn lens, we don't suggest you read on.
The new Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II is set to arrive later this month, which might explain why the leaks have started coming hard and fast. After the official photo leaked yesterday, a full spec list has emerged that shows just how many improvements Canon is planning to make to the 16-year-old lens.
Canon's EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM debuted in 1998, and over a decade and a half later we're still waiting for a replacement. But we might not be waiting very much longer at all. In fact, recent rumors now backed up by the first leaked image indicate that this lens will arrive this month.
The Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens first debuted in 1998... 1998! In November that'll be sixteen years on the market without a replacement, and while lenses aren't typically replaced as frequently as camera bodies, hope that Canon would manufacture a 'sequel' to the trusty old lens still runs strong.
Well, those hopeful hearts now have something to rejoice about, because the Canon Rumors has received a concrete tip that the 100-400mm followup will indeed be arriving alongside the 7D Mark II just in time for Photokina in September.
