<p><strong>Is Sigma getting serious?

With the quality of the previous released Sigma lenses...serious Canon competition!

 

[TLN]

Really waiting for that 24mm lens.
Or for a nice UWA zoom from sigma.

 

[vlim]

it would be huge even if only half of these lenses rumored are really available next year !!! and at the same quality, sharpness and great pricing than the 120-300 2.8, 35 1.4 or the 18-35 1.8, it would be great, a new 300 2.8 OS for 3.5/4K would interested me a lot !

 

[cellomaster27]

I spy a 135mm os(is) 1.8!!! super excited.

 

[dadgummit]

Cool, here is to hoping the 50 1.4 is good with no focus issues. The canon 50's are either way too fragile or too expensive/ quirky (1.2 version). The old sigma 50 has great IQ but after 4 copies I gave up playing the lottery.

The 24-70 f2 would be interesting. I love my 24-105 but a 2 stop light advantage would be worth the switch, if it turned out to be only a f2.8 then I would just keep what I have (with the low light ability of the 5d3 one stop is just not enough to bother switching).

 

[Dylan777]

400mm f2.8 OS - keep it under $3k. :

 

[Jim Saunders]

135 f/1.8 you say?

Jim

 

[CR00]

I guess I will need to start saving money for some of them. I wonder what Canon will do.

 

[RomainF]

400mm f2.8 OS - keep it under $3k. :

I'm dreaming too.

 

[9VIII]

I can see myself picking up half the lenses on that list. Not immediately, but eventually.

I still need a 50mm for times when 85mm is too much (if Samyang would make a 50mm first then I would get that).
The 135f1.8OS would be amazing for indoor events, as is the 300f2.8.
I still need a proper supertelephoto lens (AF must be nearly perfect if I'm going to get a Sigma though).
And if the 24-70 actually is an f2, that would probably be on my camera most of the time.

 

[LuCoOc]

A 24-70 2.0 would be big and heavy. Maybe they will make a 24-50 2.0 to keep price and weight down.

Heck yes they're getting serious! Really really excited about this. We'll have more to choose from and not have so many standards based off of canon or Nikon lenses. Haha!

That is an impressive list ... must admit that Sigma has gone from a "so so" third party lens maker to a serious challenger to the 2 big boys ... I just received my second Sigma 150-500mm OS lens yesterday for my Nikon D7100 (I still have the first one which I'm using on my Canon 5D MK III) ... between the first 150-500 OS model and what I received yesterday there are some really neat improvements in terms of build quality ... the newer one has better build materials, even the front and rear lens caps are used from the ART series lenses ... Sigma lens caps are now far superior to anything Canon or Nikon provides even with their very best lenses.

 

[adhocphotographer]

a 400 f/4 OS would have been nice... killed a lot of canon and nikon sales.

 

[madspihl]

ok... WHAT?

135mm f/1.8 with stabilization. Hello

Here's hoping that 1) this list is not completely dreamed up and 2) that the 135mm will come true and that it will be optically as great as the latest Sigma offerings.

 

[tatsu]

Just *looking* at that list made my wallet hurt.

 

[Nishi Drew]

A 24-70 2.0 would be big and heavy. Maybe they will make a 24-50 2.0 to keep price and weight down.

That's kind of what people were saying about the 18-35mm F/1.8, and it's neither too big or too heavy. But the limited range in zoom honestly doesn't makes it very useful. But keeping the range down definitely kept the weight and size down, so will Sigma make it a similar class lens, but shorter range, or actually 2.8, which is much needed in their own lineup with the disappointing 24-70 2.8 they offer. Just by having OS it'd stand along with Tamron. But so far Sigma doesn't offer weather sealing, and if they want to expand and get pros and enthusiasts to take more interest that's where they need to head

 

[cliffwang]

Wow! I want 24mm, 400mm, and 600mm. :'(

Is it difficult to have weather sealing on lenses? Non extending zoom lenses too? I hear of rubber gaskets etc.. It seems like its just something they charge a lot for on pro lenses. I could be really wrong on this. Anyone have knowledge on this? Thx
