Sony Alpha ILCE-9 III + Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN (A)

Sony Alpha ILCE-9 III

This latest addition to the Alpha 9 series is a groundbreaking development and features a newly developed Exmor RS™ image sensor - the world's first stacked 24.6 megapixel CMOS full-frame sensor with global shutter system. A revolution in camera design, tailor-made for sports and wildlife photography. Distortion in fast-moving scenes and viewfinder blackout during still image capture are a thing of the past. The Alpha 9 III can shoot continuous bursts at an astonishing 120 frames per second with full AF and AE tracking. The Alpha 9 III AI processing unit guarantees unprecedented subject recognition accuracy. It offers a maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second to freeze fast-moving subjects and enables seamless flash synchronization at all shutter speeds up to 1/80,000 second, avoiding the brightness drop of High-Speed Sync (HSS) to capture challenging scenes

.

A new technological edge

The

Alpha 9 III marks the beginning of a new era in photography. The newly developed Exmor RS™ image sensor is the world's first full-frame CMOS sensor with 24.6 megapixels and a global shutter system. No more distortion in fast-paced scenes. This pioneering technology guarantees perfect shots every time, even in video. High-resolution 4K videos can be recorded at 120 fps without cropping, allowing precise previews of the angle of view. With 6K oversampling, it also delivers exceptional 4K image quality

.

Capture all fleeting moments

Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 120 frames per second to ensure no more moments are

missed.

Thanks to the AI processor, all subjects are recognized and captured with impressive precision.

In addition,

the new Pre-Capture function and Continuous Shooting Boost function allow you to either increase the frame rate or capture the action before pressing the shutter button, while retaining the option to shoot in RAW format

.

The fastest and most accurate autofocus yet

In addition to Sony's outstanding AI-based autofocus, this camera now recognizes subjects' eyes from a distance, giving professionals additional ways to capture uncompromisingly sharp shots. The electronic viewfinder with 9.44 million pixels and fast refresh rates ensures that subjects always remain in focus, even in dynamic environments. This enables sharper, clearer focusing that exceeds expectations

.

Shooting at lightning speed

Experience a breathtaking shutter speed of 1/80,000 second for the first time, making it possible to freeze moments that are imperceptible to the naked eye. In addition, the flash sync speed has been improved to match any desired shutter speed. Even in bright daylight, creativity can be unleashed in portrait photography

.

The ultimate professional tool

Meticulously designed for professionals, the Alpha 9 III focuses on convenience and speed of execution. This camera offers a robust and durable body design that features a new grip for improved handling. With a 4-axis multi-angle display, new customizable buttons and improved connectivity, it has been designed to meet the needs of professional photographers.

Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN (A) Sony-E

The second Art Zoom lens redesigned specifically for mirrorless cameras

.

With a fast Zoom, you can achieve outstanding results. With this conviction, SIGMA developed the 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art, the first Art Zoom lens specially designed for mirrorless cameras and characterized by extremely high resolution.

The

experience in developing lenses for mirrorless cameras has successfully reduced the size and weight of the lens, while achieving a homogeneous and high resolution over the entire focal length range from the center of the image to the edges. In addition, compatibility with the latest mirrorless cameras and their functions allows the lens to be used in a wide range of applications, meeting the high demands of professional photographers and ambitious amateur photographers alike.

Following the 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN, the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art is the flagship of the new generation of Art Zoom lenses and the ultimate standard Zoom lens with a large aperture

.

Best optical performance in its class

The F2.8 Art product line with its flagship Zoom lenses was primarily developed to achieve outstanding optical performance

.

As particularly low dispersion glass, six FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements and two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements are used in this lens, taking advantage of an optical design for mirrorless camera lenses. Thanks to the use of three aspherical lenses, this lens effectively reduces aberrations such as longitudinal chromatic aberration or sagittal coma, which are difficult to correct in post-processing. It also delivers homogeneous and outstanding resolution over the entire focal length range from the center of the image to the edges

.

Compatible with the latest full-frame mirrorless cameras

The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art is compatible with various models of the latest full-frame mirrorless cameras with L-mount and Sony E-mount compatible. This enables professional photographers and ambitious amateur photographers alike to achieve top performance in a wide range of photographic applications

.

For example, the AFL button can be assigned different functions via the camera menu, which improves usability when taking pictures. The use of a stepper motor with the latest algorithm achieves a balanced ratio between acceleration and smoothness of the AF drive. This enables stress-free focusing. In addition, this lens is compatible with the eye-detection AF often used in mirrorless cameras, which enables extremely precise focusing in portrait photography. The Zoom lock mechanism prevents unintentional extension of the lens barrel. An AF/MF switch, which many other SIGMA lenses also have, is also available

.

Design that eliminates reflections and ghost images

From

the very beginning of the lens design process, susceptibility to reflections and ghosting is studied to achieve an optical design that is resistant to even strong backlighting. The Super Multi-Layer Coating (SML) reduces flare and ghosting and delivers sharp, high-contrast images, even in backlit conditions

.

Nano Porous Coating is used in addition to the Super Multi-Layer Coating. In terms of coating, the lens is designed to be less affected by strong light incidence, such as reflections

.

Close focusing distance of 18-38 cm

The closest focusing distance in the wide-angle range is 18 cm. This allows you to get closer to the subject when taking photos than the lens hood allows. The largest reproduction scale is 1:2.9 in the wide-angle range and 1:4.5 in the telephoto range, which allows a greater variety of expressive possibilities for close-ups

.

Round aperture

The almost circular aperture consists of 11 aperture blades** and ensures a very pleasant bokeh outside the focal plane of the image

.

Dust and splash protection

Thanks to its dust and splash-proof construction, the lens is suitable for a wide range of applications and environments

.

Brass bayonet

The lens is equipped with a solid and precise brass bayonet

. The

special treatment of the surface to reinforce the strength enables long-lasting use
