Sigma has announced three new Leica-L and Sony E-mount lenses. The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art, the Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG | Art, and the Sigma 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 DG | Contemporary.
All three lenses are scheduled to be released on 25 September 2025
Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art for L-Mount and Sony E-mount – $1,549 USD / £1,299
The successor to the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art, which has evolved in terms of optical performance, compact size, and AF performance, is now the sibling of the Sigma 50mm F1.2 DG DN | Art.
In 2019, Sigma released the 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art, the world’s first 35mm
mirrorless camera lens with an F1.2 aperture. Six years later, Sigma is proud to introduce its successor, the 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art.
Designed and engineered with Sigma’s latest technology, the 35mm F1.2 DG
II | Art offers not only improved optical performance, but also greatly
enhanced portability thanks to a significant size reduction of approximately
30%. With its improved design, the lens delivers unparalleled rendering
power, high-resolution clarity and large, beautiful bokeh in a more portable
form. Focus breathing is also effectively minimized, ensuring outstanding
results not only in still photography, but also when shooting video.
Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG | Art for L-Mount and Sony E-mount – $1,899 USD /£1,649
A large-aperture medium telephoto lens with uncompromising resolution and bokeh, achieving the longest focal length in the Art F1.4 series for full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG | Art is claimed to be the world’s first 135mm autofocus lens to achieve a maximum aperture of F1.4. Its large bokeh and resolution are stated to render every detail to create an extraordinary sense of depth and dimensionality.
Built on extensive expertise gained from developing numerous F1.4 prime
lenses, this new 135mm lens from Sigma is claimed to set a new standard in portrait photography.
Thorough correction of chromatic aberration, which is common in telephoto lenses, achieves clear bokeh without color bleeding.
The design also minimizes vignetting, rendering natural, near-circular bokeh even at the edges, fully utilizing the wide-open aperture.
A 13-blade diaphragm maintains a circular bokeh shape, while exceptional precision in aspherical lens processing further enhances its smoothness.
Four large FLD glass elements are positioned, along with strategically placed high-dispersion glass elements to thoroughly suppress axial chromatic aberration, which tends to be more pronounced in large aperture telephoto lenses. As a result, the lens delivers crisp subject detail even when shot wide open, making full use of the exceptionally shallow depth of field unique to a 135mm F1.4.
A floating focus system moves the two focus lens groups independently,
ensuring consistently high resolution across the entire focus range.
Flare and ghosting, which reduce image quality, are addressed under all
conditions of incident light, based on the most advanced simulation technology and Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating. High backlight
resistance enables clear and sharp images under any lighting conditions.
Each of the two focus groups is driven by its own HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), forming a dual HLA system. By incorporating two distinct types of HLAs, each optimized for the movement range of a focus group, the dual HLA system ensures both the high thrust needed for large-aperture telephoto lenses and fast, precise AF performance. This allows even fleeting expressions and fast-moving subjects to be captured with exceptional reliability.
Sigma 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 DG | Contemporary for L-Mount and Sony E-mount – $999 USD / £799
An all-in-one high-power zoom for travel, covering ultra-wide to telephoto in a single compact lens.
The Sigma 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 DG | Contemporary is the world’s first
high-power zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras that achieves both
20mm at the wide end and a 10x zoom ratio.
This versatile zoom lens covers everything from ultra-wide 20mm to
telephoto 200mm, allowing photographers to capture subjects ranging from sweeping landscapes to fast-paced sports without being constrained by
distance. Its flexibility makes it ideal for a wide variety of scenes, including
close-ups with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.
The lens delivers a consistently comfortable shooting experience, with its
thoroughly compact and lightweight design, as well as fast, accurate
autofocus powered by a linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator).
The Sigma 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 DG | Contemporary is the ultimate all-in-one
zoom lens, offering all photographers unprecedented freedom and
creativity.
