[Canon Rumors]

More from Sigma in 2013
We’re told Sigma will announce a 135mm f/1.8 DG OS Art lens sometime in 2013. There could be up to 3 more Art lenses announced this year. We’ve previously heard they would be releasing a 24mm f/1.4 DG Art sometime in 2013.

There has been no mention of an f/2 or faster zoom for full frame cameras.

An update to the 50mm f/1.4 could also be on the horizon.

Any hint of HSM? Could be something for indoor sports, too. Unless the Art-range keeps converging to L-prices… (for me, at least)

I would appreciate the update on the 50mm if it will be valued as good as the 35mm f/1.4

[RLPhoto]

Oh my...  If it as good as the 35mm 1.4, I could end up replacing all my primes with sigmas. Never in a million years would I imagine that.

I'd have thought so. All of the high end Sigma glass has HSM.

f1.8 and OS, coupled with Sigma's recent proven performance of the 35/1.4 - if it is real, this could turn out to be an astonishing lens.

Oh Happy Days. The 135 would lessen my burning desire for a new 85 in the Art line. The 24 is just gravy. Do da, do da...



Hey Canon, is anybody home?

[TrumpetPower!]

Pass the popcorn -- this is really getting exciting!

Go Sigma!

24 1.4, improved 50 1.4, and if the 135 1.8 has IS, I'm looking at 3 new lenses if they are up to the quality of their 35 1.4 (price dependent of course)

[mememe]

Bad Rumor.

1.8 + OS = dont think so!!!!

[infared]

I just want to see the looks on the faces in the Canon boardroom, (could be a photo-op for a Sigma 35mmf/1.4!).
This just makes me GLEEFUL!!!!

Wow Sigma are on a farkin mission eh? I hope we see the updated 50 sometime soon, I could use it. I'll stick with my 135L, that thing is sharp enough and fast enough though I will be watching the reviews closely!

Are canon gonna release any lenses this year or what?

[Canon-F1]

great news.  the more options the better.

[Dylan777]

Count me in for 50mm f1.4 if is similar to their 35mm

[kubelik]

If these perform at the level of the 35 f1.4 I will be looking forward to buying both

I just bought my Canon 135mm, so unless the Sigma blows it away, I probably wouldn't immediately upgrade.

I like where Sima is going, but the limited sample size concerns me.  I love my Siggy 35mm, and I really hope they can keep it up.  If Sigma can deliver on another couple lenses, the could really give Canon a run or their money.

Looking forward to seeing what Sima can deliver next.
