Sigma 50mm f/1.2 Art hands on review

The 50mm f/1.2 Art Proves Sigma Has Mastered Lens Making

I normally dismiss ultra-fast aperture lenses because they tend to be overly large, overly expensive, and overly excessive. I rarely want to have the shallowest depth of field possible, and an f/1.2 lens is only two-thirds of a stop brighter than a reasonably priced f/1.4 lens. But what if I can have my cake and eat it too?

Sony Versus Sigma

Sony Versus Sigma: Which 50mm f/1.4 Reigns Supreme?

When Sony and Sigma released lenses with nearly identical specifications (or at least nearly identical target customers), photographic gear scheduling marked a rare alignment. Photographically speaking, the concurrent launch of these two similar lenses is the equivalent of a full solar eclipse—incredibly rare and also amazing to see.

Sigma to Announce Four New Lenses for Sony E-Mount This Month: Report

It seems that fans of Sony's full-frame mirrorless cameras have a lot to look forward to this month. In addition to recent rumors that Sony is planning to launch two new cameras and a 35mm f/1.8 FE lens "in the next one to two months," a new report claims that Sigma will be releasing four new lenses designed specifically for the Sony FE mount.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 ART Available for Pre-Order, Ships in May for $1,400

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 Announces ‘Light Bazooka’ 100-400mm f/5-6.3 Lens

When Sigma calls their new Contemporary 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM a "light bazooka," we're not sure which definition of "light" they're using. But given the lens' f/5 max aperture and ultra-light construction, we're going to guess they mean light as in lightweight.

Review: Sigma Hits a Home Run with the New 12-24mm f/4 ART Lens

The fall colors here in Ohio are at their peak right now, and for most photographers that means it's time for wide angle photography. Sigma just so happened to send us their new 12-24mm f/4 Art to try out—what great timing.

Sigma Announces New 50mm f/1.4 Art and 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Contemporary Lenses

It's a good year for glass at CES in Vegas. First Samsung debuts its first premium 'S' lens, then Fuji comes out with the 56mm f/1.2R, and now Sigma is joining the fray by releasing two new lenses: an all-new 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art series lens and a significantly updated 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Macro lens.

Rumor: Sigma to Announce a 16-20mm f/2 DG Art Lens for Full-Frame DSLRs in 2014

Sigma is on a tear when it comes to releasing amazing glass. From the groundbreaking 18-35mm f/1.8 for APS-C cameras to the 24-105mm f/4 that had people pretty excited, Sigma glass is quickly becoming synonymous with phenomenal quality and affordability.

And now, the newest murmurings to come down the rumor pipeline have another exciting Sigma lens in the works, this one a 16-20mm f/2.

Review: Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 is One Sexy Beast

When Sigma announced a new version of the much loved 120-300 f/2.8 I immediately kicked myself for buying a much pricier 300mm Nikon about 6 months earlier. The reasons why may not be readily apparent, but we'll get to that. First let's discuss the aesthetics and specs.
