Sigma 85mm f/1.2 DG Art

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

From Sigma:

Overwhelming rendering power and unprecedented mobility. A new pinnacle for professionals.

The Sigma 85mm F1.2 DG | Art is a large-aperture medium-telephoto lens for full-frame cameras that delivers extremely high optical performance from its widest aperture of F1.2, while achieving the smallest and lightest size in its class. It combines uncompromising resolving power from the maximum aperture with the rich, large bokeh that only F1.2 can deliver. From studio portraits to weddings, fashion, and cinematic video production, it promises the finest results on every kind of set. With a thorough focus on portability as well as rendering, the lens achieves a weight of just 905g, a lightness that defies the conventions of a large-aperture F1.2 lens. In addition, the dual HLA delivers fast and quiet AF that provides reliable subject tracking for both stills and video. With the arrival of this lens, the “F1.2 Art Series” lineup is finally complete alongside the 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art and the 50mm F1.2 DG DN | Art.

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

From Sigma:

The freedom of a 20 mm ultra-wide-angle lens. Surprisingly lightweight. Reimagining the standard zoom.

The Sigma 20-60mm F2.8-4 DG | Contemporary is a standard zoom lens for full-frame cameras, covering an ultra-wide 20mm to a standard 60mm—all within an astonishingly compact and lightweight design. As a new approach to the modern standard zoom, Sigma has pursued the ideal balance between wide-angle coverage and compactness. The result is a palm-sized design weighing just 385g, featuring an ultra-wide 20mm perspective and versatile macro capabilities that expand creative expression. Designed for both stills and video, this lens supports the artistic vision of creators.

Leica APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm f/2.8

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

From Leica:

Although macro and portrait photography are two different worlds, they have one thing in common: the familiar suddenly appears in a new light. The APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100 f/2.8 lens bridges these two worlds, allowing each to unfold to its full potential. With a reproduction ratio of 1:1, this L-Mount lens captures fine patterns and surfaces with complete sharpness and minute detail. Apochromatic correction consistently eliminates chromatic aberrations to produce sharp contrast edges and the high-quality images typical of Leica.

From Brightin Star:

Wide-angle revolution, new chapter of vision — 105.3° ultra-wide viewing angle coverage for galaxy, architecture and indoor scenes. A space sculptor with nearly zero distortion, and a great tool for photographing buildings, city scenery, starry sky and night scenes.

Brightin Star 9mm f/5.6

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

From Brightin Star:

A 132° ultra-wide-angle lens developed for full-frame mirrorless cameras — truly ultra-wide, and not a fisheye. With an almost zero-distortion design, the pictures taken have no exaggerated distortion and the real scenery in front of you is presented. Excellent optical structure, using 16 elements in 11 groups, equipped with two aspherical lenses, 2 ED (low dispersion) lenses and 3 refractive glass elements. With a closest focusing distance of 20cm, this lens has a very strong close-up capability which, combined with a very wide angle of view, enables it to take very unique images. The lens adopts 5 aperture blades, so light will be diffracted to produce 10 pins of asterism when shooting night scenes.

Lumix S 100-500mm f/5-7.1 OIS

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Key Take-Aways:

A weather-sealed, stabilized L-Mount ultra-telephoto zoom covering 100–500mm that weighs 1,285 g, is 196 mm long, takes 82 mm filters, focuses as close as 0.8 m for up to 0.36×, supports 1.4×/2.0× teleconverters, and works with Dual I.S. 2 up to a claimed 7 stops. Professional reviews praise the unusually long reach in a 100–400-style package, effective stabilization and full teleconverter support, while noting the slow variable aperture (f/5–7.1), long barrel extension and balance at 500 mm, and that optical corrections and price/positioning should be weighed against alternatives. As of Sep 26 2025, early user feedback is positive about the compact size, reach and stabilization, with recurring caveats about the slow aperture and price versus other L-mount options.

The Magical Lilliput

In the tilt lens, the real world is transformed into a lovely miniature landscape, making it feel like you’ve entered the Lilliput in Gulliver’s Travels.

Two Results for the Price of One

A tilt lens can be simply understood as: a conventional lens with a large imaging circle combined with a tilt mechanism becomes a tilt lens. Therefore, when the tilt angle is 0 degrees, it is a conventional 50mm f1.4 large aperture lens that can be used for normal portraits, humanities, sketches and other subjects. In addition, the optical performance is also more guaranteed. Because in the normal state, only the central part of the large image circle is utilized.

The 75mm focal length offers a unique balance. Dreamy Bokeh, Always by Your Side.

Smoother bokeh than 50mm and more flexible framing than 85mm.Unlike 85mm lenses that require over 5-8 meters for full or half-body shots, the 75mm works perfectly within 3-5 meters, making it ideal for indoor portraits and still life.

Sat, 02 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Key Take-Aways:

The Sigma 28-105mm f/2.8 DG DN Art is a full-frame standard zoom that extends into medium telephoto while maintaining a constant f/2.8 aperture, weighing just under 1kg. Professional reviews highlight its versatility, sharpness, and strong autofocus performance across the range, while noting drawbacks such as noticeable vignetting at wide apertures, a large 82mm filter size, and bulk compared to shorter standard zooms.

The Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN Art is the world’s first full-frame f/1.8 zoom lens, featuring weather sealing, internal zoom design, and a complex 18-element optical construction with multiple aspherical and low dispersion elements.
