Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG | Art lens
Sigma is introducing several new products and updates at IBC 2025. Let’s start with the Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG | Art, a large-aperture, medium telephoto lens with very high resolution and exceptional bokeh for a smooth, blurred backgrounds. As the longest focal length prime lens in the Art F1.4 series for full-frame mirrorless cameras, this lens is designed to create exceptionally smooth, beautiful bokeh, while enhancing composition by helping the subject stand out against the background.
Swift, accurate autofocus is driven by Sigma’s HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor, allowing for fast subject acquisition and tracking. Several features support a variety of shooting styles, such as an intuitive de-clickable aperture ring, and customizable AFL buttons located on the side and top of the lens. Outstanding edge-to-edge resolution is achieved, even at maximum aperture, by adopting an optical design of 17 elements in 13 groups, including 4 FLD and 2 aspherical glass elements. Aberrations are thoroughly corrected, and flare and ghosting are kept to a minimum. The Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG | Art lens will be available in late September at authorized Sigma dealers in the US for Sony E-mount and L-Mount for a retail price of $1,899 USD.
Sigma 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 DG | Contemporary Zoom Lens
The Sigma 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 DG | Contemporary is a unique all-in-one zoom lens covering ultra-wide to telephoto in a single compact lens. Given its compact size, it’s rare to have a focal range that allows for shooting quickly and easily between expansive landscapes and establishing scenes, to close-up details or action shots. This lens’s 20mm starting range is much wider than the average high-power zoom lens, and weighs in at only 550 grams in a 4.5 inch body making it ideal for travel photography and documentary work. Swift, accurate autofocus is driven by Sigma’s HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor, allowing for fast subject acquisition and tracking.
The optical design, which properly positions four aspherical lenses, one FLD glass element, and three SLD glass elements, combined with an internal mechanism that precisely maintains each zoom group, enables high performance across the entire zoom range despite the high zoom ratio. Aberrations are thoroughly corrected, and flare and ghosting are kept to a minimum. The Sigma 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 DG | Contemporary lens will be available in late September at authorized Sigma dealers in the US for Sony E-mount and L-Mount for a retail price of $999 USD.
Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art Lens
The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art, evolving from the original 35mm F1.2 and following the need for a more compact lens to pair with mirrorless cameras, now features a much smaller footprint, comparable in size to the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art. Autofocusing performance has been upgraded, and overall optical quality has also been improved. With its bright F1.2 aperture, the lens is ideal for nightscape photography in addition to portraiture, landscapes, street photography, and many other genres that embrace the 35mm focal length. Thorough correction of axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare contributes not only to the sharpness of the image plane, but also to the bokeh effect. The lens delivers beautiful bokeh without color fringing, double-line bokeh, or any other irregularities from its maximum aperture. The 11-blade rounded diaphragm maintains a circular bokeh shape even when the aperture is stopped down.
As a result of the optical and mechanical design incorporating the latest technology, the new 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art is significantly smaller and lighter than the previous model. The filter diameter has been reduced by two sizes from 82mm to 72mm; the overall length of the lens has been shortened by approximately 20%, and the weight has been reduced by approximately 30%. Additionally, focusing performance surpasses that of the previous model by adopting a floating focus configuration that moves two focus groups independently. The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art lens will be available in late September at authorized Sigma dealers in the US for Sony E-mount and L-Mount for a retail price of $1,549 USD.
