Sigma To Announce Two New Lenses on February 23

[ScottyP]

The Sigma Rumors site says "an 85-135 f/2 is very probable". That would be nice. I might bite.

I like the suggestion of a 24-105 f/2.8 OS. I think I'd definitely be a buyer on that one if the reviews were good.

A 1:1 macro zoom would be just the kind of noteworthy feat Sigma might be attracted to, though it would not be as broadly useful as some other of the guesses.

35-105 f2 possibly?
maybe 35-135 ?

i would love to have a constant fast non distorting medium wide to short telezoom

Haha. Almost 85 or almost f/1.4? Or almost both?

100mm F1.8 Optical Stabilizer?

I'd think 1.8 is almost 1.4

My bet 100mm f/1.4

Would be pretty silly marketing to post a silhouette of a zoom (?) with a tripod collar if it was in fact a fixed FL short prime.

Thank you

Can they just make a damn 85mm f/1.4 better than its existing one already?!?

Thank you

You two are not serious right? What am I missing here?
The teaser goes "Sigma To Announce TWO New Lenses"

I think the issue is the original PR was for one lens and now we're onto two. All in all I'm just glad they're adding more to their catalog. Sigma has come light years in terms of build, options and IQ.

My first guess would be a 35-85mm f/2 (which I would trade my 18-35mm in for in a heartbeart), or an 85-135 f/2? Since they said "Almost" to a 85mm 1.4 presumption maybe its an 80mm? Which I would still be on board with.

How long until these lenses are available for sale?

The small lens could be 70mm macro getting the ART treatment.

If those lenses are to scale then 70-200mm f/2.8 is probably 77mm filter which would make the middle zoom lens a 67mm filter. This would be slightly too small to be a 135mm f/2 on the long end. If it is indeed a world-first and a fast aperture then perhaps it is 120mm f/2 on the long end. Remembering, Sigma's other fast crazy zoom is the 120-300mm f/2.8, so a 55-120mm f/2 would fit nicely between the 24-35mm and 120-300mm)

Like your thinking. A 55-120 f/2 would enable me to keep my 24-105 rather than upgrade it to 24-70 f/2.8. Assuming it's FF of course.

And the fact that some here were suggesting the bigger of the two lenses might be a fixed FL.

I did some orthographic projections and plotted a few blocks and used the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L II USM as a reference... and perhaps the Sigma Zoom has a 82mm front filter.

It appears to be about 20% shorter than the 70-200mm so unless it is a Fresnel type lens perhaps 150/160mm at the long end. With an 82mm filter that would make it about f/2. So another guess here might be 85-150mm f/2.

 

[AWR]

slclick & dslrdummy - gotcha! Also it still might be only one lens, according to Sigma rumors (another picture was deleted from Sigma Austria Facebookpage).

It's a 50-100mm f1.8 according to http://digicame-info.com/2016/02/50-100mm-f18-dc-hsm-art.html
