World’s first f/1.8 Full Frame autofocus zoom lens is coming soon from Sigma!

Three trusted sources confirmed this:

• Sigma will soon announce a new Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN lens!

If I am not mistaken I think this is thew world’s first f/1.8 Full Frame Autofocus zoom ever made! It is a sort of Full Frame version of the epic 18-35mm f/1.8 APS-C zoom (you can see it here).

I have been told that the primary target for this lens are filmmakers. That makes sense because the 18-35mm f/1.8 APS-C was a popular lens in the video world. The new FF lens has a much shorter zoom range equivalent to 18-30mm in APS-C. But aperture in APS-C would be f/1.2 so depth of field will be short and bokeh much more pronounced! I talked to a few people testing the lens and they said the lens is way too big and heavy as a photography lens. Still, I you wanna try it on the new Lumix S9 go ahead and show me the photos of the combo 🙂
