Hi guys, I’m getting ready for a big trip right now and I’m a bit busy. But today I was able to get a 100% certainty that Sony will have a big announcement in late November. Now confirmed by three trusted sources. So hopefully I’m starting to be able to tell you guys exactly WHAT is coming.

In two days from now Sirui will launch their first full frame autofocus lens. And now we know it’s a 85mm f/1.4 E-mount!

UPDATE: First leaked image of the lens:

Phototrend had a short chat with Foucauld Prové, Managing Director at Sigma France.

Sigma is eager to make “unusual” lenses:

So yes, the demand for atypical optics is growing. And then we also see the evolution of the photo market, which is increasingly moving towards a market of expert amateurs. And this type of user may have more specific desires: it is to this type of demand that we will respond with this type of lens.

Could Sigma make a sort of 100-300mm f/2.8 lens?

We had a Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM zoom in the catalog for many years, with several versions between 2008 and 2022. So, no doors are closed on that level.

How Sigma’s sees the market:

The Sigma brand has had its best years in history over the last three years globally and in France as well. We are therefore on a good trend and with very good prospects for the future.

Strongest mount demand:

It is obviously the E mount that has allowed the brand to grow in recent years.

About the possibility of getting a compact 70-200mm f/4.0 lens:

If we ever launch a 70-200mm in the Contemporary line, it would probably have an f/4 aperture, in order to gain in compactness and lightness. Would a 70-200mm f/4 lens be very successful? I’m not 100% convinced.
