Who would've thought they'd try a 14mm f/1.8 for FF? Wow.
I'm really interested in the 24-70 OS Art, given that it's a good performer at a good price. The 135mm might be something I'll consider if it's priced reasonably.

Tamron & Sigma have really been putting out great gear recently!

 

[NorbR]

There's only one lens that interests me in that list, but oh how it interests me ... ;D
14mm f/1.8 ... I'm still drooling a bit.

Now anxiously waiting for the price ... :-\

 

[pmjm]

I can't wait to see how the 24-70 stacks up against the Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC.

 

[rfdesigner]

14 f1.8...

there's only one thing to say

Coma?.. come on Sigma, a full-res wide-open astro-shot in the sample images please.

 

[IglooEater]

14 f1.8...

there's only one thing to say

Coma?.. come on Sigma, a full-res wide-open astro-shot in the sample images please.

The coma would have to pretty terrible to be worse than a current 14mm 2.8. You can stop it down a whole stop, and it's still faster.

 

[Jopa]

Wow, it's happening! Need a pre-order link for the 135 1.8 asap

 

[applecider]

14mm f1.8 full frame?

I've been trying to find a Samyang 14mm f2.4 premium for sale glad now that that has not happened.

As others have said show us the coma or not.

 

[9VIII]

Here's hoping the size reflects the price.
We still don't know the characteristics of that 14mm lens, the Samyang is really good so Sigma has a high bar to aim for.

I could buy all four of these.

I'm waiting for the Samyang to get a lensrentals teardown.. now with this Sigma there could be real choice.

Roger, do you have any plans?

 

[Alex_M]

14 F1.8 comes with non filterable front element, it looks that way.
135 F1.8 looks exactly like 85 F1.4 Art. Could be just an up scaled Version of the 85 Art.
Front element looks massive. 95mm?
P.S. nope, filter size is 82mm according to the photo.. I am shaking my head in disbelieve. 85 Art comes with 86 mm filter size and 135 Art with 82mm one. doesn't quite make sense.

 

[cellomaster27]

Wow! I'm really excited for all four lenses!! The 24-70mm just might end up in my bag.. as well as the 135mm. Great job Sigma!

 

[nightscape123]

How big does a 14mm lens need to be to be f/1.8? It's got to be HUGE to let in that much light...

 

[arbitrage]

How big does a 14mm lens need to be to be f/1.8? It's got to be HUGE to let in that much light...

Fred Miranda did a rough comparison just based on size of lens mounts to the 12-24....it is going to be nice and big....

I can bet my home that Sigma 24-70 is going to absolutely and massively kill the Tamron 24-70 VC lens. I owned one before. It is not a stellar performer. Plain and simple..

I can't wait to see how the 24-70 stacks up against the Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC.

I am very interested to see how this pans out as the benchmark for IQ in this class is the Canon 24-70 2.8L. All the others fall short in some way much to the despair of those who hope for a more affordable alternative.

1 stop down means 2.4 - 2.5 which equals samyang 14mm 2.4 that can be used wide open.

 

[goldenhusky]

I am interested in 14 f/1.4 and the 24-70 if it has better IQ than Canon 24-70 f/2.8 ii. I am mainly behind sharpness. I would not care about size or weight. 135 well I just got the Canon 135 f/2 few months ago. So I may not jump on it for a while.

you mean the Canon 24-70 f2.8L ii correct? I never used the 1st version but read lot of reviews suggesting the 1st version produced soft images. I would expect the Sigma to be at least level the IQ of Canon 24-70 f2.8L ii. At that point the OS adds more value to it. Obviously the price point also plays a major role. Going by the history I would think Sigma will cost less than the 2nd (current) version of Canon

 

[Chaitanya]

only lens I am interested in is that 100-400, judging by absence of lens collar that lens should be less than 1kg in weight. Hoping the price is below $1000 mark.
