Key features

Sonly mirrorless lenses are compatible with AF and AF assist, while all of the others work with camera AF technologies, including face / eye subject recognition and tracking. L Mount lenses benefit from the ability to adjust linear and non-linear focusing via the Sigma USB Dock for L-Mount.

Stepping motors found across these ranges provide fast AF for both stills and video, while Sigma’s optical formulas are designed to render high resolution even when shooting the aperture wide-open.

We’re looking forward to reviewing these lenses in due course, with all models proving to be extremely compact, sporting high-quality optics, dust and moisture sealed mounts with tried-and-tested focal widths which are suitable for many genres.

Head over to browse our Sigma lens range to find the perfect model for travel, hiking and as an all day walk around option for a broad range of subjects.
