SIGMAS first ever cinema lens with AF
SIGMA will be showing a prototype of the 28-45mm T2 Cine zoom lens at IBC. The lens is currently under development and is based on the 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN Art. We have seen “cine lenses” with AF in the past, but the “cine aspect” has been debatable. It’s an interesting development and personally, I think this is the most useful range I’ve seen on a short focal length zoom.

Leica adds 3 new focal lengths to the Hugo range.
Joining the 10 existing Leitz Hugo focal lengths, the Hugo II lenses, named for their slower aperture, introduce new options that offer some size advantages and slightly different looks with the 75 mm and 90 mm, while the 66 mm fills the gap between 50 mm and 75 mm.

Funeral Services for Andreas Fisher Hansen DFF
On Sunday 25th of August funeral services were held for former IMAGO President Andreas Fisher Hansen DFF at Tibirke church in Tisvilde, Denmark. A substantial crowd of mourners was present, consisting of next of kin, family, friends and colleagues from the world of cinema from both near and far away.
Those of us who made the trek from a foreign country, uneasily anticipating a somewhat depressing service held in a dark and gloomy church, were very pleasantly surprised to find that the memorial ceremony was held outdoors in a beautifully idyllic countryside churchyard under a clear blue sky. The circumstances and setting could hardly have been improved upon.
