Word on the street is that the new Sigma 200mm f/2.0 lens will be priced at 3499 Euro. I do not have the US pricing but it should be something close to $3,500. At that price will you preorder the lens?

This is the craziest thing I’ve ever built, and I’m kind of shocked how well it worked. I took two Sony A7ii full-frame camera bodies and attached them together to make one massive 24x72mm sensor frame.
funny…but useful? Not yet I think :)
Here are the full images and specs of the new Sigma 200mm f/2.0 lens (E/L) that will be announced on August 19:

Bright f/2 aperture – ideal for working in low light conditions and achieving effective, soft background blur (bokeh).
Advanced OS
