Sigma is bringing creators 2 fast primes - balancing optical excellence with real-world usability. With the release of the Sigma 15mm F1.4 DC Contemporary and the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II Art, photographers can maximize their storytelling with multiple perspectives.
The New Sigma 15mm F1.4 DC Contemporary
Sigma has expanded its APS-C prime lineup with a lens that prioritizes both performance and portability. Sigma’s new 15mm F1.4 DC Contemporary delivers a fast F1.4 aperture in a compact, palm-sized body, offering a full-frame equivalent field of view of approximately 22.5mm. It’s a perfect wide-angle, sharp lens that won’t add weight to your kit.
Key Features
- Approximately 50% lighter than its predecessor (Sigma’s 16mm F1.4 DC DN)
- Compact 64.8mm length – highly portable for everyday shooting
- Outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness, even wide open at F.14
- Improved suppression of sagittal coma flare – ideal for night skies and astro work
- Nine-blade aperture for smooth, circular bokeh
- Advanced optical design with FLD, SLD, and aspherical elements
- Designed to minimize flare and ghosting for strong contrast in challenging light
- Stepping motor autofocus – fast, quiet, and precise for stills and video
- Dust-and-splash resistant construction with water-and oil repellent front coating
- Part of Sigma’s expanding F1.4 DC series for APS-C cameras
Wide-Angle Built for Creative Freedom
Sigma’s 15mm focal length sits in a sweet spot for street photography, travel, environmental portraits, landscapes, and video work without feeling exaggerated.
What stands out most for us is how balanced this lens is. It’s a lens that holds up when shooting handheld at night and meets the lightweight needs of videographers. This lens supports creative momentum rather than interrupting it.
Available for Pre-Order now, this lens includes Sigma’s 7-year Canadian warranty.
Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II Art
The 35mm F1.4 is already an iconic Sigma lens, but the 35mm F1.4 DG II Art’s upgrade marks the latest evolution of that legacy, offering the highest optical performance in Sigma’s 35mm lineup, with some performance features that creators will find worth the upgrade. Some of them include:
Exceptional Optical Performance
Even wide open at F1.4, this lens delivers incredible resolution across the entire frame – all accomplished with the redesigned 15-element, 12-group optical construction.
Highlights include:
- Four high-precision aspherical elements
- Two SLD glass elements
- Thorough suppression of axial chromatic aberration
- 11-blade rounded diaphragm giving rich bokeh without colour bleeding
- Newly developed AAC (Advanced Amorphous Coating) to dramatically reduce flare and ghosting.
Compact, Refined, and Built for Motion. Pre-Orders are open now, with first shipments expected in April. Early orders recommended.
Despite its improved optical design, the 35mm DG II Art is approximately 14% shorter and 20% lighter than its previous generation, making it more agile without sacrificing build quality.
Performance Features:
- Dual HLA (High response Linear Actuator) = fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus
- Minimized focus breathing - ideal for video work
- Aperture ring with lock switch and a click on/off control
- Customizable Dual AFL buttons
- Dust-and-splash-resistant construction
- Water and oil repellent from the element coating

Two Lenses. Two Perspectives
The 15mm F1.4 DC Contemporary invites you to step even wider, capturing cinematic scenes with unique angles and extra creativity to capture movement and atmosphere.
The 35mm F1.4 DG II Art refines one of photography’s most beloved focal lengths - offering the best resolution, beautiful bokeh, and performance and portability that won’t have to compete.
Both lenses are available for Pre-Order now.
