jonpais Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Looks like they've announced four lenses in all: the Art 24-70 f/2.8, Art 14mm f/1.8, Art 135mm f/1.8, and Contemporary 100-400mm f/5-6.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregormannschaft Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Apparently native FE lenses are coming soon as well. I'd love to finally cash in on my 24-105mm L lens and get a Sigma 24-70 2.8. I'll take any kind of autofocus I can get with my Sony A7SII at this point...more for casual photography than for video.

wolf33d Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Cudos to sigma for their awesome work and lenses at affordable price. we can't say the same from Canikon Emanuel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Maze Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 That 14mm 1.8 is the most interesting to me! Truly an unseen focal length with that aperture! Going to produce some really unique looks on a full frame image! johnnyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If I were to applaud Sigma for any of the new lenses in their announcement, it would have to be the 14mm as well, as it is unique, and again shows that Sigma is leading the way, and at prices that shame the competition. I was thinking it would be unusable for me as well, but for a different reason - it has no filter thread as far as I can tell. And yes, these full frame lenses are all huge as hell on a m43 camera. Fine if you're on a movie set, not so great for the rest of us. Which is why I've been evangelizing about native lenses recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Looks like Sigma's got some strong competition in the way of a tiny, obscure company on an island somewhere. Their cine line anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a lot of people with ef mount cameras who are potential buyers for these lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think the reason they are (relatively) light and compact is because they take full advantage of the short flange distance on e-mount. Every DSLR compatible wide angle has a retrofocal design that has additional elements to compensate for the distance between the lens and the sensor. Longer focal lengths are less affected by this problem. johnnyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasiliskFilm Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Interesting that making a lens that doesn't breath during focus is so expensive. I wonder if breathing correction could be done in software, like CA and distortion correction, improving the quality of more compromised and affordable lenses.

Turboguard Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Oh that 14mm!! I use Rokinon 10mm CineDS 3.1 at the moment, wouldn't mind the loss of 4mm for that extra boost in aperture! yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photographer-at-large Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I didn't realize Art 24-70mm has stabilization?; and that the 135mm is internal focusing, and will be the best performing Art lens: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
