Sigma says it aimed to redefine what a standard lens means for its support of mirrorless full-frame lenses when it created the 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art, which balances size, weight, and autofocus with pro-level optical performance.
If you've bought into the L-Mount, Sigma just added two very compelling new primes to your list of lens options. The Sigma 40mm f/1.4 Art and 105mm f/1.4 Art 'bokeh master' are both dropping two weeks from today on December 20th, just in time for an end-of-year pick-me-up for your Sigma fp, Panasonic S1 or Leica SL2.
Sigma has been crushing the competition with its Global vision line up. The combination of no-compromise image quality and a fair price is creating havoc in the Canon and Nikon camps. And the recent launch of Sony E-mount lenses will surely disturb Sony’s first-party glass business (and will also drive Sony’s mirrorless business by providing true 3rd party lens support).
The Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Art Macro is the first prime macro lens to sport Sigma’s “ART” badge. Unlike most of the Art lineup, the size is closer to the Contemporary lineup of lenses. Sigma themselves say that this lens is designed with optical quality as a priority over autofocus speed.
If you're a fan of Sigma Art lenses, this some big news today: the much-hyped Sigma 105mm f/1.4 "Bokeh Master" lens will cost just $1,600 when it hits store shelves in late June 2018.

Sigma has just announced the pricing and availability of its new 14-24mm f/2.8 Art lens, and the new details won't disappoint. The lens will be available next month with a price tag of just $1,299.
Start saving up now, because the brightest and baddest new 135mm lens on the market has a price and a release date. Sigma is still keeping price and availability a secret for their 24-70mm 14mm ART lenses, but they've officially announced that the 135mm f/1.8 will debut in May for $1,400.
Sigma's Art series of lenses are already praised for their image quality and sharpness, but you can hone that sharpness even more by adjusting the focus of your lens using Sigma's USB Dock. Photographer Kyle Kozinski recently discovered just how much of a difference it can make.
When it comes to taking photos of stars, the best camera/lens combos are the ones that capture the most light.
Sigma is still on a roll when it comes to its high-end Art lenses, and the latest accolade is impressive: DxOMark just awarded the new Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art lens the highest score the benchmarking company has ever given.
Talk of Sigma's 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens have been swirling since February of 2015, but according to a fresh rumor, the wait might be over. The lens will reportedly be announced sometime in February, and Sigma plans to ship it this summer.
Recent announcements from Sigma have made a lot of portrait and landscape photographers very happy. The question is, can the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art and the Sigma 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM Art replace the current favorites from Canon and Nikon?
To put it lightly, Sigma's Art line has been a massive success -- especially now that the impressive 50mm f/1.4 has joined its ranks -- and it might be expanding even further before this year is out.
