Last week, we reported that Sigma was expecting to announce three new lenses soon. Two of these lenses would be for full-frame cameras. One is a 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary and the other is a 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary. The third is an APS-C lens, the 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary. They’re expected to be announced next week, and we’ve already seen some rumoured specs.

Now, the first photo of the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens appears to have leaked. Not surprisingly, it looks very much like the other f/1.4 APS-C primes in Sigma’s DC DN lineup and brings the range up to a total of five lenses; Four primes and one 18-50mm f/2.8 zoom zoom lens. It’s now also been rumoured that the new lenses are expected to be announced on April 3rd.

Three new full-frame and APS-C Sigma lenses coming soon

Lens manufacturer Sigma is expected to announce three upcoming mirrorless lenses in their Contemporary range in the coming weeks. All three of the lenses are designated “DN”, which means they’re designed for mirrorless, but only two of them are also designated “DG”, denoting full-frame. The third is a “DC” lens destined for APS-C sensors.

The full-frame lenses are a wide angle 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary and a fairly standard 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary. While specs have only been leaked relating to the Sony E Mount version, I think it’s a safe bet to say they’ll be coming on L mount, too. The third is a 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary, offering a similar field of view go 35mm on full frame for Sony L, Leica L and Fuji X mount cameras.

Sigma to announce three new 17mm f/4, 50mm f/2 and 23mm f/1.4 Contemporary lenses

Sigma is preparing to announce three new Contemporary series lenses, according to Asobinet. Two of them, a 17mm f/4 and 50mm f/2, are said to be designed for full-frame, with a 23mm f/1.4 that will expand the company’s DC DN APS-C lineup. The two full-frame lenses will be coming in Sony E and Leica L mounts while the APS-C lens will also be available in Fuji X. Surprisingly, though, not Micro Four Thirds.

50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary rumours have been getting thrown around occasionally for a little while, although the 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary and 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary both appear to be fresh rumours. It seems odd to be announcing a 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary when they’ve so recently announced the 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art, but the other two should be quite welcome.
