A new Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens to be announced this week

By [NR] admin | Published: October 23, 2017


The upcoming lens Sigma was teasing for the PhotoPlus show will be a new 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary that will most likely be announced on Wednesday. DC and DN indicate that this will be an APS-C mirrorless lens. I am not sure if this lens will be available for DSLR cameras.

Sigma recently introduced a new 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art lens ($1,599).

I have no information when Sigma will release their rumored new 70-200mm f/2.8 Art lens.
