New full-frame mirrorless solutions from Sigma include the native L-mount Sigma fp full-frame mirrorless digital camera; the critically-acclaimed mirrorless Art zoom duo: the 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art and 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art; and the ultimate in imaging excellence, the 35mm F1.2 DG DN Art, all available in native Sony E-mount and L-mount.

Sigma Product Highlights at WPPI 2020:

Sigma fp – The Smallest and Lightest Full-Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera:
With dimensions of 112.6 x 69.9 x 45.3mm and body weight of 370g, the all-new Sigma fp is the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless digital camera, equipped with a 24.6 megapixel Bayer full-frame sensor. Suitable for everyday use by photographers of all skill levels, from novices to the most discerning professionals, the Sigma fp produces images that are of the highest quality, capable of supporting both serious still and cine shooting. Purpose-built with durability in mind, its dust and splash-proof body make it ideal for long hours in various shooting environments while the absence of a mechanical shutter removes the potential for noise and shutter shock while increasing reliability. The Sigma fp is capable of full-fledged video production, supporting 12-bit CinemaDNG external recording for RAW video data and 4K UHD/24fps recording. Alternating between still and cine shooting modes is possible with a simple flip of a switch. The Sigma fp uses the L-mount, characterized by a short flange focal length, large diameter, and superior durability. More details are available at: https://www.sigmaphoto.com/sigma-fp.

The Sigma Full-Frame Mirrorless Zoom Duo:
With the critically-acclaimed Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art and the following release of the all-new 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art, creatives are afforded the uncompromising quality and performance Sigma Art lenses are known for in native Sony E-mount and L-mount. 

• Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art – A completely new design for full-frame mirrorless camera systems, the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art is the ultimate large-diameter, wide-angle zoom lens. The all-new optical formula is well suited for landscape photography and storytelling environmental portraits thanks to its incredibly wide field of view, uniform rendering performance and outstanding edge-to-edge resolution. These features also make it the definitive lens for astrophotography, perfect for capturing the weak light emitted by the stars at night. This new-generation zoom lens features three aspherical lenses, including a large-diameter aspherical lens at the foremost surface, used to effectively minimize flare and other distortions thereby achieving mind-blowing resolution. More details are available at: https://www.sigmaphoto.com/14-24mm-f2-8-dg-dn-a.
• Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art – The second newly-designed Art zoom lens from Sigma is a large-aperture standard zoom for full-frame mirrorless camera systems and is available in Sony E-mount and L-mount. A completely new optical formula developed specifically for mirrorless camera systems, the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 Art features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm while six sheets of “F” low dispersion (FLD) glass and two sheets of special low dispersion (SLD) glass are employed to prevent aberrations such as axial chromatic aberration or sagittal coma aberrations. The end result is uniformity and superior optical performance from the center to the periphery throughout the zoom range.
