New Sigma 15mm F1.4 DC | Contemporary lens
The new Sigma 15mm F1.4 DC optic is a large-aperture wide-angle lens designed for APS-C cameras, and is scheduled to be released on March 12th 2026. A key selling point is portability, as the 15mm F1.4 DC | Contemporary is a compact 64.8mm long and weighs just 220g.
So it’s 30% shorter and 50% lighter than its predecessor, the Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary. ‘As the lightest lens in the Sigma F1.4 DC series, it accelerates creative freedom by further enhancing the mobility of APS-C cameras,’ said the company.
‘Particular emphasis was placed on improving edge-to-edge performance while thoroughly suppressing sagittal coma flare, which is often noticeable in large-aperture wide-angle lenses.’
