Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM for Sony and Pentax coming out in mid-June?
Our computer-translated Japanese is not good enough to completely decipher this, but it looks like there is some action for the Sony Alpha and Pentax flavors of the Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM lens planned for June 19. It appears that at least one of the two (or both) are coming out for under 90,000 yen. Computer-translated story via DC Watch.
We don't know if anyone actually explained this yet or we will have to wait until the actual release - wait to find out how the optical image stabilization of the lens plays out on the sensor-shift stabilized DSLR bodies. The most likely scenario (we suspect) is that you can use either the optical or the sensor-shift, but not both at the same time.
But once people get their hands on the lens, you betcha they will try to use both at the same time and post comparison pictures :-)
