Rumor has it that Sigma may soon announce a 24-70mm f/2.8 OS Art lens, likely before CP+ (February 23, 2017). The lens is said to ship before summer. A pertinent patent was spotted in March 2016.
Stay tuned…

Sigma is going to announce another crazy and amazing lens, the Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art. The lens is for APS-C sensors, and will be announced on February 22. Another zoom lens with constant f/1.8!
Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art specs:
Sigma Austria posted a teaser for a new lens on their Facebook page. The image above is accompanied by the text below (translation from German mine):
Today we can announce another world’s first, and we will show it on February 23. For the time being, we just want you to know that again it will be “sharp/fast”. What focal range do you wish? Write us and stay tuned.
Your Sigma Austria team.
The “sharp/fast” refers to a lens with wide aperture, possibly f/2.8, or even faster. The shape in the teaser image suggests a Sigma telephoto lens.
Thanks Aaron for the tip.
Let’s start the week with another wishmor (wishful rumor), or whatever you want to name it. Just got this in my inbox:
Canon is interested in acquiring Sigma and has made two offers. Its first offer at 7x Sigma’s net value was rejected by Sigma but Canon quickly hit again with a 2nd offer of unknown valuation. There are long talks between the two companies. No idea what will happen with Sigma’s products if the buyout goes forward.
No comment :-)
Is Sigma working on a new 12-24mm lens? Latest rumors suggest they are.
It appears the company is working on a new lens, a 12-24mm wide angle lens. This lens is said to be released in two versions, one “Art” and the other “Contemporary”. This is not the first time Sigma releases two versions of a lens. They did the same with the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG, released as “Sport” and “Contemporary” version. For the time being it is not clear if it will be for full-frame or APS-C sensors. My guess is for FF.
Sigma has a 12-24mm lens in their line-up, the Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 DG HSM, released in 2011. I think this rumor is solid. Stay tuned.

Images of the upcoming Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM “Art” lens leaked at Digicame-Info. The Sigma 24-35mm is for full-frame sensors. No specs but the filter diameter, 82mm. This is going to be another revolutionary lens by Sigma, and a massive one.
