Sigma Art Lenses for Sony E Mount

Published:

Interchangeable lenses for the Sony E-mount digital camera series with full-frame image sensors are added as members of the Art line.

While offering the same high-performance optical design as other lenses in the Art line, the new E-mount models will feature a newly developed control algorithm that optimizes the autofocus drive and maximizes the data transmission speed. In addition, these lenses will be compatible with Sony’s Continuous AF (AF-C) and high-speed autofocus, which are not addressed by MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11.

Key features

Autofocus tuned for each lens

Thanks to an autofocus drive control program tuned for each lens and high-speed data transmission, the lenses will offer high-speed autofocus at the same performance level as that of a lens designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras. In particular, in E-mount cameras offering Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF, AF-C mode will deliver exceptional subject following performance. Moreover, autofocus will remain extremely precise even in those E-mount cameras offering only contrast AF.

Compatible with in-camera image stabilization

The lenses will be compatible with in-camera image stabilization. The E-mount camera senses the focal length of the lens and automatically optimizes image stabilization performance.

Data loaded for compatibility with in-camera aberration correction

The lenses will be fully compatible with in-camera aberration correction, which includes corrections for peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, and distortion. By matching corrections to the optical characteristics of the lens, this function takes image quality to an even higher level.

Native mount for a more rigid and stable feel

Making the mount native to the lens makes possible a more rigid and stable feel to the lens. Featuring a special surface treatment to enhance strength, the brass bayonet mount offers a high-precision fit and exceptional durability. The mount connection area incorporates rubber sealing for dust- and splash-proof construction.

Available Mount Conversion Service

This service converts the mount of SIGMA lenses to that of a different camera body, allowing photographers to continue using their favorite lenses over the long term regardless of camera system.

Nine New Art Lenses:

  • 14mm f/1.8
  • 20mm f/1.4
  • 24mm f/1.4
  • 35mm f/1.4
  • 50mm f/1.4
  • 70mm f/2.8 Macro
  • 85mm f/1.4
  • 105mm f/1.4
  • 135mm f/1.8

The 70mm f/2.8 Macro and the 105mm f/1.4 are new additions, while the other lenses were already available for other mounts. As with all SIGMA Art DG glass, these new lenses cover full frame sensors found on Sony’a a7 and a9 range of cameras.
