Sigma has stopped teasing and started selling. The 85mm F1.2 DG | Art is out of development and on the price list: $1,599 in the United States, Sony E-mount and L-Mount, from authorized dealers beginning October 6, 2026. You can pre-order at B&H Photo Video.

That finishes the job Sigma set in February. The 85mm now sits next to the 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art and the 50mm F1.2 DG DN | Art as the medium-telephoto leg of a three-lens F1.2 Art set. Dual HLA autofocus, a 13-blade diaphragm, and a claimed class-smallest 905g body are the hardware pitch. We covered the development announcement and early B&H listing in February; this is the full spec sheet and the street date.

Nikon Is Developing Nine NIKKOR Z CINEMA T1.9 VV Lenses, Starting With a 50mm That Covers RED’s VV Sensor

Nikon posted a development notice for a nine-lens NIKKOR Z CINEMA T1.9 VV series, naming a 50mm and claiming the first NIKKOR image circle large enough for RED’s V-RAPTOR [X] VV sensor. No prices or ship date.

Nikon Inc. has posted a development notice, not a ship date. The company is building a NIKKOR Z CINEMA T1.9 VV series of nine cinema lenses, and the only focal length named so far is the NIKKOR Z CINEMA 50mm T1.9 VV.

The headline is the coverage circle. Nikon says this will be the first NIKKOR series with an image circle large enough for the RED V-RAPTOR [X] VV sensor — 40.96 × 21.60mm, which is wider than a 36 × 24mm full-frame chip. The lenses will also have a “highly precise” autofocus mechanism. Price, the other eight focal lengths, and availability are not in the notice. Specs and release dates are listed as subject to change.

Sony’s 400mm f/4.5 GM, 600mm f/6.3 GM, and 8-14mm Fisheye G Set for September 8, With Leaked US and Euro Prices

Sony Alpha Rumors dates the FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS, 600mm f/6.3 GM OSS, and 8-14mm f/3.5 G to September 8 around 3 p.m. London time, and adds leaked euro prices next to the earlier U.S. figures.

Sony Alpha Rumors says a trusted source has now locked the date: the three new FE lenses — FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS, FE 600mm f/6.3 GM OSS, and the FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G — will be announced on September 8 around 3 p.m. London time. A follow-up leak adds European street-style prices next to the earlier U.S. dollar figures.

This is still a rumor, not a Sony press release. No optical formula, autofocus type, or weather-sealing claim has been shown for the two primes. Treat the numbers below as the leak, not a spec sheet.

Sony FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G Leak: First Photos of a Native FE Fisheye Zoom

Sony Alpha Rumors posted the first leaked photos of an FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G zoom — G series, not GM, with an aperture ring and a September rumor window.

Sony Alpha Rumors has posted the first leaked photos of a new FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G zoom. The product graphic is labeled exactly that way — full-frame E-mount, constant f/3.5, G series, and explicitly a fisheye. If it ships as shown, it would be Sony’s first native FE fisheye zoom. The only first-party option today is still the 16mm fisheye converter that screws onto the FE 28mm f/2.

Canon EOS R8 Mark II Leak Adds 7.5-Stop IBIS, No Mechanical Shutter, and 3D-from-2D Video

Canon Rumors has posted the fullest EOS R8 Mark II spec sheet yet — still a leak, still aimed at a September 15, 2026 New York announcement. The new list goes well past the IBIS / 24MP / about $1,800 briefing from late August: 7.5 stops of IBIS, no mechanical shutter, 20fps pre-shooting, and a software trick that would build 3D video from 2D footage.

Fujifilm XF 400mm f/4.5 Completes the X-Mount Super-Tele Prime Trio, Priced $3,199.95

Fujifilm has filled the gap between its 200mm f/2 and 500mm f/5.6 X-mount primes. The new FUJINON XF400mmF4.5 R LM OIS WR is a 400mm super-telephoto (609mm equivalent on APS-C) aimed at birds, motorsports, and aircraft — the same sports-and-wildlife brief DPReview and B&H Explora use for the launch. Fujifilm says the 200 / 400 / 500mm set now covers about 305mm to 762mm in full-frame terms.

U.S. list price is $3,199.95 ($3,899.99 in Canada). Fujifilm says the lens will be available mid-September 2026. You can pre-order now at B&H Photo Video.

Nikon Files a Third Unreleased Camera in China: N2528 Joins N2324 and N2527

A radio certificate is not a launch, and it is not a model name. It does mean three Nikon bodies are far enough along to need Chinese Wi-Fi and Bluetooth approval at the same time.

Canon’s Higher-End PowerShot Won’t Be a G7 X Mark IV, Says Latest Leak

Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III — the camera fans keep expecting a sequel to. The latest leak says not to.

If you have been waiting for a PowerShot G7 X Mark IV, the newest Canon Rumors note is a cold splash. The site’s sources now say Canon’s next higher-end PowerShot will be a “departure” from the G7 X Mark III, and that you should not expect something that looks or behaves like the G7 series in a lot of ways.

That is a sharper claim than the spring talk of a G7X successor with “new technology” and a three-model PowerShot comeback. Those reports still matter as background. This update is about the premium compact specifically: it is not being drawn as a refreshed G7 X III.

Leica Summicron-M 66mm f/2 Brings a Never-Sold Navy Spy Lens to the M System, Priced $10,900

Leica Summicron-M 66 f/2 — Classic Line, limited to 660

Leica has put a 66mm M lens on sale for the first time. The Summicron-M 66 f/2 is a Classic Line reinterpretation of the late-1960s Elcan 66mm f/2, a compact high-resolution optic Dr. Walter Mandler designed at Ernst Leitz Canada for a classified U.S. Navy reconnaissance contract. About 200 originals were made for official use; they were never a catalog item. DPReview puts that history in the headline: this is a tribute to a military lens M shooters have never been able to buy.

The new lens is already available from Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store, and authorized dealers. The U.S. price is $10,900; Leica’s European press release lists €9,850 including VAT. Production is capped at 660 numbered examples worldwide.

Ricoh Confirms GR IVx: New 40mm Lens on the GR IV Platform, Due Winter 2026

Ricoh GR IVx — development images from Ricoh Imaging

Ricoh Imaging has confirmed the next GR is already in the works: the RICOH GR IVx, a 40mm-equivalent companion to last year’s 28mm GR IV. The August 27, 2026 Tokyo development announcement includes a full specification table “as of the announcement of development,” which usually means the camera is well along — even though Ricoh only commits to a launch in winter 2026 or later and has not named a price.
