Sigma 28-45mm T2 FF & 28-105mm T3 FF lenses

Advanced optical design and outstanding rendering performance

The optical systems of the Sigma 28-45mm T2 FF and Sigma 28-105mm T3 FF incorporate the designs of the highly acclaimed still lenses: the Sigma 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art and the Sigma 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art. Combining the experience gained through years of lens design, the latest development technology, and the advanced manufacturing techniques of Sigma's sole production base, the Aizu factory, these lenses deliver exceptional resolution and beautiful bokeh regardless of focal length or focus position, along with a sharp, clean look with minimal flare and ghosting.

Professional-grade mechanical design and operability

Inheriting the rendering performance and reliability of Sigma's Art lenses, the AF Cine Line integrates cinema-style mechanics and operability, optimized for professional cinema production. It features a limited-rotation focus ring, industry-standard 0.8M pitch gears, and a clickless aperture ring to meet industry demands.

AF system with excellent tracking capability and near-silent operation

Equipped with a linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), the Sigma AF Cine Line captures intense movements in action scenes, rapid focus shifts in gimbal or handheld shooting, and unpredictable moments in documentaries without missing a split second, providing reliable support for filmmakers in various shooting situations.

Sigma Aizu prime line of cine lenses

  • A consistent T1.3 across all focal lengths
  • Optical design for the demands of cinema
