Sigma previously stated the new 24-105mm A-mount lens would ship in late September only. But good to know Sigma managed to speed up the lens production. BHphoto now reports a shipment date for August 4 already!
The Sigma A-mount lens can be preordered at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here).

What’s A-mount? Is this yet ANOTHER Sony mount? They already have E-mount…
Have you been living under a rock for the last thirty years, or are you just being an idiot?
I think, this is an example of what is sarcasm. Don’t take it so seriously.
It’s an example of stupidity and should be treated as such. If you choose to waste your time defending stupidity then by all means do so but direct your comments somewhere else. Most of us have a much lower tolerance for this than you do.
No, it’s an example of sarcasm….
Now who’s looking stupid?
Lovely thread.
Does it come with OS for sure?
It has OS in the name, but B&H says no OS. The Canon and Nikon versions have it. I really don’t understand why Sigma actually removes IS from the Sony versions rather than just shipping them with the switch set to off. This would be a pretty nice walk-around lens for the A7/A7R/A7S if they hadn’t removed stabilization. Now, instead, you have a choice between fast AF with the A-mount version, or slow AF with IS in the Canon version.
Speaking of stupidity, if you spent a couple minutes reading the manufacturers specifications you could avoid asking such a dumb question. Apparently you and jimmy_blimey are one in the same or intellectual equals (mildly retarded).
“(mildly retarded)” You’re being kind. 🙂
Yes. Bash each other. That’s the true spirit of the sony community on these types of forums.
Very very tempting…. For my A99, this lens, or my current 28-75/2.8. Lose AF-D, lose 1 stop, lose in-camera corrections, but gain a wider range, and a supposedly super sharp lens. hmmm, tough choice.
I wouldn’t bother. Sony’s supposedly launching a 24-105mm, that will be 100% compatible with the A-Mount (AF-D, and Lens Correction), as opposed to Sigma’s design.
1. If Sony actually does make such a lens. I’m not holding my breath c
2. One would expect a Sony version to cost significantly more, would it be worth $300-500+ more than the Sigma version?
Doubtful. It’s probably going to be a Non Zeiss, but very high quality glass, sorta of what they did with the A77’s 16-50mm.
It’s probably quoting to cost about the same $899.99
Quoting = Going.
I really hate the iPad’s auto correct feature.
If that turns up on time, given Sigma’s appalling record for prompt delivery, it would be a miracle!
I don’t think they’ve delivered on time for decades and I remember waiting for 3 years for a 70-200 that never appeared in the form promised, only the model after that!!
Don’t worry I’m calling the Whambulance now for you cry baby.
You’re an idiot.
That is all.
