Sigma’s lineup of native Sony E-Mount Art is now almost complete. Having shipped the 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm E-Mount lenses in June, Sigma has now started sending out the 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM, 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro and 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art series E-Mount lenses.

Having played with E-Mount versions of the 20mm and 50mm lenses only a week ago, they seem to show definite improvement on Sony bodies over MC-11 adapted EF or SA mount lenses. So these should be warmly welcomed by Sony shooters, particularly the 135mm f/1.8.

The E-Mount versions of Sony’s Art Series lenses have gained a new control algorithm to optimise autofocus for Sony’s systems. And they’re compatible with Sony’s continuous AF (AF-C) and high-speed autofocus. Both of these features are missing when using the Sigma MC-11 mount converter. They’re also compatible with Sony’s IBIS and lens aberration correction.

Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art – $1,599

  • Focal length: 14mm
  • Aperture: ff/1.8-16
  • Mount: Sony E
  • Format: Full Frame
  • Angle of view: 114.2°
  • Optics: 16 elements in 11 groups
  • Minimum focus distance: 27cm (10.63″)

Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro – $569

  • Focal length: 70mm
  • Aperture: ff/2.8-22
  • Mount: Sony E
  • Format: Full Frame
  • Angle of view: 34.3.2°
  • Optics: 13 elements in 10 groups
  • Minimum focus distance: 25.8cm (10.16″)

Sigma 105mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art – $1,399

  • Focal length: 14mm
  • Aperture: ff/1.8-16
  • Mount: Sony E
  • Format: Full Frame
  • Angle of view: 18.2°
  • Optics: 13 elements in 10 groups
  • Minimum focus distance: 87.5cm (2.87′)

Although Sigma has officially launched the 14mm lens, it does appear to still be listed as pre-order, while the other two are showing as available now. I would imagine the 14mm will catch up at any moment.

That only leaves the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens to go in the new E-Mount lineup. That should hopefully be coming sometime later this month. I’ve had a play with an SA mount version of this lens on Sony, and it’s already very impressive. I look forward to seeing how well this one performs when it’s available in a native Sony E-Mount.
