The lens and camera manufacturer Sigma is expanding its portfolio with three new lenses for mirrorless full-frame cameras from Sony (E-mount) and the L-mount alliance. According to the manufacturer, the new products will be available from October 2025. The trio consists of a versatile zoom from the Contemporary series and two fast fixed focal lengths from the renowned Art series.

The Sigma 20–200 mm F3.5–6.3 DG Contemporary is positioned as a versatile all-rounder. Sigma emphasizes that this is the first 10x zoom lens for mirrorless full-frame cameras whose focal length range starts at 20 millimeters in the ultra-wide angle.

This enormous focal length range predestines the lens for various subjects—from wide landscapes to dynamic sports shots and everyday snapshots. It also enables close-ups with a maximum magnification of 1:2. A “High-Response Linear Actuator” (HLA) is designed to ensure fast and precise autofocus. Despite its large focal length range, the lens remains compact with dimensions of 11.2 centimeters by 13.8 centimeters and is still reasonably light at 1420 grams, making it a practical travel companion.

The optical construction consists of 18 elements in 13 groups. Nine aperture blades are intended to ensure an appealing blur. The Sigma 20–200 mm F3.5–6.3 DG Contemporary will be available from October for 900 euros.

Six years after the launch of its predecessor, Sigma is presenting a fundamentally revised new edition with the 35 mm F1.2 DG II Art. According to Sigma, the focus of the development was on a further increase in optical performance with a simultaneous reduction in size and weight of around 30 percent. The result is a fixed focal length that combines the highest resolution and expressive bokeh in a significantly more manageable body.

Another key feature is the effective minimization of focus breathing, an unwanted change in the image section when focusing. This benefits photographers and videographers alike. Designed for professional use, the lens meets the highest demands in terms of imaging performance and handling. The reportage focal length has 17 lenses in 13 groups and uses eleven aperture blades.

Sigma charges 1500 euros for the fixed focal length.

With a focal length of 135 millimetres and an aperture of f/1.4, the lens is perfect for portrait photography.

With the 135 mm F1.4 DG | Art, Sigma is presenting a world first: the first 135 mm autofocus lens with an aperture of f/1.4 for mirrorless systems.

According to Sigma, this lens has been specially designed for portrait photography. The classic 135 mm focal length allows for a flattering perspective with pleasant compression, while the exceptional open aperture of f/1.4 allows for impressive cropping of the subject with a creamy bokeh. Sigma emphasizes that the imaging performance clearly exceeds that of conventional 135 mm f1.8 lenses. A fast and precise autofocus and a robust build quality designed for everyday professional use round off the overall package. This lens also uses 17 lenses in 13 groups. The 13 blades of the aperture promise a pleasing bokeh, thanks to an almost circular aperture opening.

The manufacturer charges 1900 euros for the 135 mm F1.4 DG Art.
