<p><strong>This and that

</strong>A few people have written in to confirm that Canon is exploring the possibilities of entering into the medium format segment.</p>
<p>We’re told nothing is imminent, but things could change quickly in the next few months. How long this has been going on is unknown, but it does sound like it’s a real possibility.</p>
<p>No one has confirmed or denied that Phase One is the medium format company in question.</p>
<p>Over at <a href="http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/canon_medium_format_2ff.html" target="_blank">NL</a>, they received an outright dismissal to the concept. However, a second source said Canon is going to be all in, and will announce in a big way some time in 2014.</p>

<p><strong>From The-Digital-Picture

</strong>Bryan at TDP has completed his review of the highly anticipated Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens. His only knocks against it are the lack of OS (which isn’t a huge deal) and the limited range on APS-C. However, the uniqueness and performance of this lens should overcome both of those negatives if you’re looking for something in that range.</p>
<p><strong>Says Bryan

</strong><em>“It is easy to overlook any focal length range deficiencies when getting an f/1.8 max aperture available over the entire focal length range. Not only is this the widest aperture zoom lens, but it is also the widest aperture 18mm lens. Full frame sensor camera owners have typically enjoyed about 1 stop of high ISO noise benefit and background blurring capability over APS-C/1.5x/1.6x format sensor camera owners. But, full frame camera owners do not have a zoom lens wider than f/2.8 available to them. The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM “Art” Lens is a bit of an equalizer in this comparison.”‘</em><strong>
