Perhaps a perfect followup to Nikon’s D610, Canon’s 80D, and even Sony’s A7-series releases, Sigma’s two new lenses aren’t built for full-frame coverage, but instead include a fast, Art-series portrait zoom for APS-C cameras and a fast, f/1.4 normal lens specifically designed for mirrorless cameras that is supposed to offer superb image quality at a reasonable price. In addition, Sony E-Mount users will enjoy the availability of Sigma’s new MC-11 Sony E-Mount converter that will allow the use of 19 of Sigma’s Global Vision series lenses on many Sony APS-C and full-frame mirrorless bodies. While pro shooters have anxiously been waiting for Sigma to fill up its line of full-frame lenses, tonight’s announcement leaves them in order to give APS-C and mirrorless shooters some love. And for the aforementioned Nikon, Canon, and Sony releases, one couldn’t ask for a better start to a more well-rounded set of lens options.

Sigma’s 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens provides high-quality, bright, constant-aperture performance in a package that includes internal focusing and a tripod socket, which should be useful to handle this relatively compact, but still hefty lens. Considering the APS-C crop factor, this 50-100mm lens provides angles of view similar to a 35mm-equivalent of 75-150mm, covering all of the most popular portrait shooting focal lengths for any cameras with Canon, Nikon, and Sigma mounts.
