Sigma's new 200mm f/2 lens offers twice the light of typical f/2.8 telephotos, ideal for indoor sports; the 12mm f/1.4 lens is the widest autofocus prime for APS-C cameras.
- On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, Sigma announced the Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS Sports and 12mm F1.4 DC Contemporary lenses.
- Having lacked a 200mm F2 prime for years, Sigma fills this gap with the 200mm F2 DG OS Sports, the first mirrorless 200mm F2, and introduces the widest autofocus f/1.4 prime in its APS-C lineup.
- Technically, the lens employs a 19-element/14-group design with FLD and SLD glass elements and features OS2 optical stabilization providing up to 6.5 stops.
- Authorized Sigma dealers will begin shipping the $3,299 USD lens on September 4, 2025, after pre-order availability.
- In practical use, the 12mm F1.4 serves astrophotographers with an 18mm full-frame view, ideal for wide-field nightscapes on APS-C mirrorless cameras like the Sony A6700.
