Sigma's 8mm Fisheye is one of their classic lenses, updated a couple of years ago to ƒ3.5 and still sought after for creative photography and specialist imaging. With a relatively low RRP, it can be a versatile lens to add to your collection - and with a little time and software, you can straighten out that Fisheye effect for a new style of image. Recently Adobe's Lens Correction software was updated with details of Sigma's lenses, and David Kilpatrick has discovered that even the less common lenses are included - with the SD14 and 8mm providing perfect subject material.

Sigma's stabilised update to the classic 17-70 Macro lens - the 17-70 F2.8-4 DC Macro OS - has won a second EISA award since introduction in 2010. Following the "Best Entry-Level Lens" award made in April, EISA has also awarded the prestigious title of "2010-2011 European Lens" award. This category is wide-ranging and really shows the overall ability and quality of the versatile lens.

Sigma UK's official press release continues below...

Sigma UK is pleased to announce the new Hood Adapter for the Sigma APO 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM, which provides effective shading when used with APS-C size digital SLR cameras.

Here it is - the DSLR every Sigma enthusiast has been waiting for since the first announcements. Externally a very similar camera to the SD14, the SD15 represents a major overhaul of Sigma's digital SLR system and even at first glance, can be seen to be a substantial upgrade in many ways. This review is a quick introduction to the hardware and some of the more obvious new features of the system, and should answer many of the questions Sigma users have been asking whilst addressing some of the requests from the SD14.

Sigma Imaging has discovered that a recent batch of lenses may have a potential autofocus defect. The lenses affected are the 120-400, 50-500 and 150-500 DG OS HSM models, within specific serial number ranges detailed below. This does not affect all lenses, but you can contact Sigma if you have any doubts and your lens is within the ranges given. Any affected lenses will be modified free of charge.

May 26th 2010 - Sigma DP2 firmware version 1.05 has been made available for download along with DP2s update 1.01.

This update consists mostly of improvements to ISO 400 image quality on both cameras.
