Looks like Sigma is coming out with a couple of new lenses. Yes, there's been a bunch of new lenses lately, but these really caught my eye. The first is a 10.5mm f2.8. Wonder how much cheaper it will be than the Nikon? The second lens is the one that sort of made me sit up in my chair though. It's a 4.5mm f2.8. Yes, not a typo--four point five mm. Circular image. Now THAT will make a unique image, LOL! Wonder how many pennies that's going to cost?

Yeah, but that 4.5 mm will be a whopping 7 mm on the APS digital bodies. :mad: On the bright side, DOF at f2.8 should be what, 4.5 light years?!?!

Actually, that could be a really interesting lens to shoot, although I have a hard enough time with a 20-24mm lens.

I think the 10/2.8 will cost 699 euros, the 4.5/2.8 will cost 999 euros. At least that's what somebody who claimed to know said. Not exactly very cheap.
