Sigma 40mm F1.4 DG HSM Art
Sigma’s first lens developed originally to live up to the sought-after angle of view and performance standard for a benchmark cine lens. This lens effectively arranges three FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements to correct axial chromatic aberration and magnification chromatic aberration.
Features less than 1% distortion and near non-existent sagittal coma flare. 8K-compatible resolution and a stunning bokeh.
Available for Sigma, Nikon, Canon and Sony E mount camera systems. View more information on the Sigma 40mm product page.

Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary
This lens completes the Sigma large aperture series of portable wide-angle, standard, and telephoto prime lenses in Micro Four Thirds and Sony E mounts. Features smooth and quiet autofocus ideal for video shooting.
Compatible with the Sony E mount Fast Hybrid AF, it also achieves precise AF tracking. By using the face recognition or eye AF functions of the camera, focus will continuously be on the face or the eye even if the subject moves during the shoot.

Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports
The world’s first 10x optical zoom telephoto lens with a tele end of 600mm.
With 25 elements in 19 groups, Sigma states that “excellent and consistent image quality can be achieved throughout the entire zoom range”.
This lens’ intelligent OS featuring the latest algorithm delivers an image stabilization effect of 4 stops. Its optical design ensures maximum correction of magnification chromatic aberration encountered in hyper-telephoto shooting.
When shooting at the focal length of 200mm, the Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports can also be used for telephoto macro photography, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.3.
The zooming mechanism has been engineered to make both smooth rotation and straight zoom possible. The new Sigma hyper-telephoto zoom lens is available in Sigma, Canon and Nikon mounts starting in late October 2018 for $1999 USD. View more information on the Sigma 60-600mm product page.
