![]() ![]() ![]() Sigma claims that the resolving power is high enough to be compatible with 6K and even 8K imagers, but the first two lenses out of the gate are only able to cover a Super 35mm imager (28.4), which limits it to 5K with the current generation Dragon sensor from RED. The wide zoom has a close focus of 11", with the long zoom having a close focus of 3' 2", impressive for a 100mm zoom, which should be good for a nice close-up. A consistent wide aperture matters to a cine shooter, who generally will want the option to shoot the entire scene at a given F-stop, and it's nice to see that the lenses maintain T2 all the way to 100mm, which is getting into the length range where even prime lenses sometimes give up half a stop at the wide end of the aperture. Sigma starts the party with the "High Speed Zoom" range with two lenses featuring a constant T2 aperture on both the wide angle 18-35mm and the telephoto 50-100mm. That all changed with the announcement that they are releasing Sigma Cine Lenses, starting with a high speed zoom line to be released this fall, followed in the spring by a set of prime lenses. ![]() Sigma prides themselves at being the largest independent manufacturer of photographic lenses in the world, but they've never before had a cine-specific offering.
