NEW Sigma 200-500mm Zoom available with Canon mount and in GREEN!

Sigma's Mondo F 2.8 200 - 500mm Zoom in green.
Now available at B&H Photo for the remarkably low price of $25,999.00. Click here to buy one.

Details from Sigma:

The APO 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG is the world’s first Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens that offers a fast aperture of F2.8 at 500mm focal length. It covers the widely used 200 to 500mm focal length range, and maintains its fast F2.8 aperture over the entire zoom range. Four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations and produce a high level of optical performance throughout the entire zoom range.

Shooting distance and focal length can be viewed on the lens' LCD panel, which is an additional convenience for the photographer.

A filter can be inserted towards the rear of the lens, and a circular polarizing filter can be used with its ingenious rotation mechanism.

A dedicated APO TELE CONVERTER 2x EX DG II is supplied as a standard accessory with the APO 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG.

Its exclusive design minimises image degradation usually associated with teleconverters. When this dedicated teleconverter is used with the APO 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG lens, it becomes a large aperture 400-1000mm F5.6 AF Ultra-Telephoto Zoom lens.

A very mellow video about a Hasselblad invite-only event in Utah. Its worth sticking it out to the end for the gag.

B & H Lists New Hasselblad 200Mpix Multi-Shot Camera on Website

Well it has finally arrived at retail! B& H announced that they have new Hasselblad H4D-40 Multi-Shot 200mpx camera in stock!
The camera uses 6 exposures to make one 200 mega-pixel image.

Built on the reliable H4D chasis.

I'd really like one but the truth is that I'd be happy enough to just own a 35mm HC lens for my H4D-40.



The Hasselblad H4D-200MS is all yours for five bucks under forty-four large! Now, let me take a break to clean the drool off my keyboard then I'll be able to write something about it.
