Sigma Is Bringing the Speed: Fast Prime Announcement on August 19

Trusted sources (Thanks!) just told us Sigma will have a new press event on August 19. And this is what we are likely to get:

  • 200mm f/2.0 Full Frame “Sports” lens for Sony E and Leica L
  • 35mm f/1.2 Full Frame “ART” lens for Sony E and Leica L
  • 12mm f/1.4 APS-C lens for E/L/Z/X/RF mount

I leaked the images of two of the three lenses, but I should soon get more details and images about the 200mm lens too!

But there is more, folks! I already got info about a unique Full Frame travel zoom and another super fast prime coming soon after from Sigma!

First leaked image of the new compact Sigma 35mm f/1.2II L-mount lens!

What you see here on top is the size comparison between the “old” Sigma 35mm f/1.2 and the new version that will be announced soon. As you see the new version is more compact (I would guess around 1cm less longer) and is rumored to have a Filter Size of 72mm compared ot the older 82mm.

Still don’t know what the price will be but it could be a tiny bit more expensive than this first generation lens. Probably also because of the tariffs…and I can’t wait to read the comments about this 🙂

Sigma is rumored to launch a total of four new Full Frame lenses this year. And I will soon share info about those on SAR and on my youtube channel (subscribe here).

And, what do you think about this lens?

Two Sigma APS-C lenses (including epic f/1.8 zoom) will be announced on June 17…four more FF lenses coming soon after!

Sigma continues to push forward with the release of new lenses, and today I have some exclusive, exciting news to share with you! On June 17, at the BildExpo event (register here) Sigma will announce new lenses:

I have to say that the 17-40mm f/1.8 is particularly exciting as it offers APS-C camera owners the light gathering ability and bokeh quality of an f/2.8 FF lens. Impressive! This lens will probably be optically better and more compact than the legendary 18-35mm f/1.8.

ONE MORE RUMOR:

Sigma is supposed to hold another product announcement event in August/September that will focus more on new full frame lenses. There are rumors of four new FF lenses, I don’t know if 1-2 of them will be unveiled or announced on June 17:

I should have more details on all of these lenses soon. Stay tuned!

LEAKED images of the new S1II, S1IIE and 24-60mm lens!

On 13 May, Panasonic could present the new Lumix S1II, Lumix S1IIe and the 24-60mm f/2.8 lens?

This rumor still has to be confirmed, so keep it in mind when you read it:

According to one source Panasonic will announce two cameras and one lens on May 13:

  • Lumix S1 II: 24 megapixels, partially stacked, 70 fps no blackout. 4k120p uncropped. 3500€
  • Lumix S1 IIE: 24 MP (no more info about sensor). 2.800€. Less video specs than S1II.
  • Lumix S 24-60 f/2.8. 544 gr, 999€, control button (Sony Style)

According to the same source both cameras copy from CFExpress or SD to SSD. And both have a new AF mode named “Urban Sports”.

Again, this is not a rumor confirmed via multiple sources so there is still a margin of error. Me personally I was hoping to get an L-mount version of this beautiful camera. I will keep dreaming for now 🙂
