Last month, Sigma released five new lenses that cover practically every shooting situation possible. The release includes a 28mm and 40mm wide lens for the Art line, a 56mm prime lens from the Contemporary line, and a 70-200mm and 60-600mm telephoto lens added to the Sports line. All the lenses are constructed with the right material to be durable, lightweight, and portable in various weather conditions. They incorporate Special Low Dispersion and “F” Low Dispersion glass elements paired with high-speed AF to provide a rare image quality.
Sigma 28mm f/1.4 DG HSM
Joining Sigma’s Art line, the recently released 28mm f/1.4 prime lens is a dream for wide-angle enthusiasts. The large-diameter 28mm is designed with three Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and two “F” Low Dispersion (FLD) glass elements to keep high resolution across the sensor.
The wide-angle lens is perfect for shooting rolling landscapes, bright night skies, and stretching streetscapes. This Sigma offers shooters the wide reach and distortion effect of a 28mm lens, as well as the dreamy bokeh effect of a f/1.4 maximum aperture.
Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM
The 40mm’s longer focal length gives a perspective closer to human eye, but keeps a sought-after cinematic style. Developed with Sigma’s “CINE LENS” philosophy, the 40mm is crafted to handle high-end production needs. The lens captures an exceptional high-resolution image, capable of handling panning and tilting camera movements in 8k resolution. The prime aspect of the lens only further adds to the quality of this professional video recording lens.
Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN
The 56mm is the smallest lens in its class, and the most compact of the recent releases. The 56mm focal length keeps dimensions of the subject close to proportionate, making it ideal for portraits and headshots. Despite its compact build, this lens retains notable image quality with smooth AF for video recording and a f/1.4 max aperture to throw the background out of focus. It also reduces ghosting and flare.
Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM
A new addition to Sigma’s Sports line, the 70-200mm f/2.8 is a vital piece in any professional’s bag. The mid-range focal length and wide lens make it an acceptable option in several situations like portraits, sports, or landscapes. The durable dust- and splash-proof lens can be taken safely into various weather conditions and is even slightly customizable.
Sigma 60-200mm f/4.5 – 6.3 DG OS HSM
Probably the most noteworthy of the recent releases, the 60-600mm is the world’s first 10X optical zoom telephoto lens. Dubbed the “all-arounder,” this telephoto lens has the focal length to capture all the scenarios. Assembled with 25 elements in 19 groups, the 60-600mm ensures great image quality at any length. Although it covers a extensive focal range, the lens is perfect for long distance situations like sports events or nature photography.
