Continuing their approach of creating high-value products that people can’t seem to get enough of, Sigma has introduced a whole new line of CINE lenses specifically designed for cinematographers. The new lenses come in three different categories: the High Speed Zoom Line, the FF Zoom Line, and the FF High Speed Prime Line. In total, eight new CINE lenses have been announced and we have all the details right here from the announcement.

Sigma explained in their announcement that there has been an increasing demand for high-resolution cinema lenses, and that they believe they offer a new solution for cinematographers by way of value, range of selection, and technological optimization. In order to do so, Sigma has created its own production system for mass producing these high-performance lenses.

Referred to as the “first phase,” Sigma plans to release two CINE zoom lenses in the USA and Japan for Canon EF and Sony E mount cameras by the end of 2016. After that, there will be another CINE zoom lens released in addition to five CINE prime lenses. Sigma also mentioned that there would be plans to develop additional zoom and prime lenses and add support for PL mount cameras in the future. Below we cover specifications for the three zoom and five prime CINE lenses announced today.
