Sigma fp Mirrorless Digital Camera Announced!

Sigma fp Mirrorless Digital Camera Announced!:

As some of you know, I use a SL, so I am a huge L mount fan.  I was so happy to hear about the Sigma fp when it was originally rumored.  Now, it is finally announced.  At $1,899, the price is decent as well considering it’s full frame, and it’s so compact!  You can get the kit with the awesome 45mm f2.8 for $2,199, and save yourself $249 in the process.  It’s a great lens, I reviewed it here.

Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 DG DN Art Lens L Mount First Impressions:

It’s no secret I’m a fan of Sigma lenses, and since I thoroughly enjoyed the 45mm f2.8 (review here), I thought I’d see if I could get another Sigma lens in to review.  This time though, I went for something a bit different.  I went for the 14-24mm f2.8 DG DN Art lens, which is a much wider focal length:).  I’m in the process of reviewing it but for now, I thought I’d share my first impressions of it.
