PRESS RELEASE

SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art and SIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art ​​for Sony E-mount

SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art and SIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art ​​for Sony E-mount are scheduled to start the shipment in May, 2018.

While offering the same high-performance optical design as other lenses in the Art line, the new Sony 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), which is not addressed by SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11. Like the converter MC-11, the lenses will be compatible with in-camera image stabilization and in-camera lens aberration correction, which includes corrections for peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, and distortion.
