Sigma showed off its full range of new L-mount lenses at a press event in London today. The first of these 11 new prime lenses will go on sale from September. The new Art series of fast prime lenses is designed to work on full-frame mirrorless cameras produced by Panasonic, Leica and Sigma.
Panasonic already has two cameras on sale that can use these lenses - the Lumix S1R and S1 - and Leica has on one camera, the SL. Panasonic will launch a third L-mount model in the autumn, the S1H, and Sigma is promising its own 60-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera for next year.
At the event, Sigma updated us on the timeline for its L-mount roadmap.
The first three lenses in the new range will be the 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.4 primes which are due to ship in September.
This will be closely followed by the release of the 20mm f/1.4, 24mm f/1.4, and 135mm f/1.8 in October.
The 28mm f/1.4, 40mm f/1.4 and 105mm f/1.4 will then go on sale at the end of the year, in December.
The release of the 14mm f/1.8 and 70mm f/2.8 Macro will now not be until next year.
