CP+ 2013: Sigma has announed four additions to its ‘Art’ range of prime lenses, including a 60mm F2.8 DN lens for mirrorless cameras and an updated 30mm F1.4 DC for APS-C DSLRs. Alongside these are redesigned versions of its 30mm and 19mm F2.8 DN lenses for mirrorless in metal bodies. Like these lenses, the 60mm F2.8 DN features metal casing and will be available for the Sony E and Micro Four Thirds mounts. It will offer a 90mm equivalent field of view on Sony NEX cameras or 120mm equivalent coverage of Micro Four Thirds bodies. The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC is a completely redesigned version of the popular normal lens for APS-C DSLRs – it will be available in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts. Price and availability details have not been given.
Earlier this year Sigma outlined a new vision for its product line-up, with lenses to be split into three categories: Contemporary, Sports and Art. The 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is the first release in the latter, and is designed to offer a relatively affordable alternative to the camera manufacturers’ equivalents. It works on both full frame and APS-C cameras, and will be available in mounts for all major brands. In our latest review in partnership with DxOMark, we take a detailed look at how it performs, including test data from all of its closest competitors to see how it measures up.

In this video, we take a look at this manual focus lens from Zeiss. Without autofocus, can the performance of this lens compete with the likes of the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 G and Canon 50mm f/1.4?

Sigma has released their latest fast-apertured prime in the form of an 85mm f/1.4, a popular focal length for portrait photographers. With Nikon and Canon’s offerings costing a considerable amount more, does the Sigma offer up enough quality to be a good enough alternative to the big brands’ lenses? Is it sharp? What’s the bokeh like? Find out in this video.

Lensrentals’ Roger Cicala hasn’t always been a fan of Sigma’s lenses but the company’s latest 35mm F1.4 seems to have got him pretty excited. He’s written a very positive first impressions blog post, considering the build and test data from the first sample he’s received. As usual, he’s very careful to stress the limitations of what he’s reporting – specifically that these are early impressions, based on a single lens that he’s had little chance to actually take photos with. However, he’s also someone with immense experience with lenses, and is in the unusual position of having had the opportunity to strip the lens down, so we found his insight interesting.
