Sigma Announces 24mm F3.5, 35mm F2 and 65mm F2 Lenses

Sigma has announced its new I-series of compact full-frame lenses for Sony E-mount and the L-mount.

Sigma 24mm F3.5, 35mm F2 and 65mm F2 Lenses

The 24mm F3.5, 35mm F2 and 65mm F2 DG DN Contemporary lenses all share a similar design including: weather-sealed metal bodies, aperture rings, focus-by-wire dials, and a smooth auto focus drive system.

The 24mm F3.5 DG DN has a total of 10 elements in 8 groups, which include both SLD and aspherical glass. The special elements, along with Sigma’s ‘Super Multi-Layer coating’ help to reduce ghosting and flare. The 24mm F3.5 has a minimum focus distance of 11cm (4.3″) and a max magnification of 1:2 (0.5x). The lens weighs in at just 225 grams (7.9 ounces).

The 35mm F2 DG DN has 10 elements in 9 groups and also uses SLD and aspherical glass as well as the Super Multi-Layer coating. The minimum focus distance is 27cm (11″) with the max magnification coming in at 0.18x. The lens is a little heavier at 325g (11.5oz).

The 65mm F2 DG DN has 12 elements in 9 groups and uses the same special elements and coatings as both the 24mm and 35mm. It has a minimum focus distance of 55cm (22″) and a maximum magnification of 0.15x. The 65mm weighs in at 405 grams (14.3oz).

All three lenses come with both metal lens caps that attach magnetically and with conventional plastic pinch-type lens caps. Sigma will offer a magnetic lens cap holder that’s attached to a carabiner.

All 3 lenses will be available in mid-January for $549 / £479.00, $639 / £549.00 and $699 / £649.00, respectively.
