Show preview
Sigma › Stand J304 › sigmauk.com
Sigma continues to innovate with its Art, Sports and Contemporary lens ranges. With new gear recently announced to coincide with now-concluded trade event CP+, this will be the first chance to come to grips with its new ultra-wide and super telephoto lenses, arriving in the UK for mid-March. L-Mount and Sony E-mount camera-owning customers will want to get their hands on its exciting new full-frame f/1.4 diagonal fisheye lens in the Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DG DN – a first for the brand. This bright Art series optic allows the capture of expansive landscapes and star-strewn skies, thanks to its generous 180° angle of view. Those photographing sports will be sure to make a beeline for the Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS, again intended for L-Mount and E-mount owners – described by its maker as the definitive ultra telephoto prime. Visitors to the show will be able to test its claims that this prime lens for full-frame cameras is relatively compact and lightweight at 234.6mm in length and 1370g in weight.

Want a compact tripod? The Leofoto Ranger LS-223C and LH-25 ball head is one of the smallest. With a set of stainless steel spikes, a carry bag and a multi tool, it’s perfect for macro photography. Videographers needing support will love the Zhiyun Weebill 3S gimbal. Its time- saving portrait and landscape switch allows for seamless movement between set-ups. Also on the stand, and providing durable high-speed media, will be the Lexar Professional Gold Series UHS-II 1800x V60 SD card and USB-C Dual Slot Reader for SD and microSD. For those wanting lights, the Broncolor Pulso L 3200 J lamp and latest Satos 3200 J power pack will surely prove illuminating.
All these brands will be at the show courtesy of UK and Ireland distributor Transcontinenta UK. Sony full-frame mirrorless camera owners should keep an eye out for Tamron’s 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 lens. The latest iteration offers better image quality, 0.18m minimum object distance, scratch- and fingerprint- resistant design, twice-as-fast AF response, plus user- customisable functions. Need a bag for that lens? Consider the Peak Design Everyday Backpack 20L V2 in a choice of black, charcoal, midnight blue or ash colours. Alternatively, examine the Think Tank Presspass 20 – worn like a shoulder bag or belt pack.
