This morning, Sigma announced the I series of lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Offering premium optical performance and a compact design, the three new lenses — the 24mm f/3.5 DG DN | Contemporary, the 35mm f/2 DG DN | Contemporary and the 65mm f/2 DG DN | Contemporary join the previously released 45mm f/2.8 DG DN | Contemporary in the lineup.
Featuring all-metal construction, the I series lenses are available for both L-mount and Sony E-mount.
“When it comes to mirrorless cameras, striking the proper balance between performance and size is even more crucial. We believe there is a growing demand for compact, high-performance, high-quality lenses,” said SIGMA America President Mark Amir-Hamzeh. “The I series represents a new option: Premium compact primes that are stylish in appearance with impressive specifications and optical performance.”
The lenses include well-damped manual focus ring, aperture ring and autofocus switches. They also feature a dust and splash-proof mount, and ship with both a plastic lens cap and a magnetic metallic cap.
