Sigma 200mm f/2.0 FE – First Image Just Leaked!

Share

Funny how history works — after more than a decade, we’re suddenly getting not one, but two 200mm f/2.0 FE lenses! Just last week, I leaked the specs and first image of the new Venus Optics 200mm f/2.0 FE. And today… I’ve got something just as exciting: an exclusive leaked image of the upcoming Sigma 200mm f/2.0 FE:

This lens sports the same sleek white finish and familiar control layout as Sigma’s larger 300–600mm FE. It takes 105mm filters, weighs in at under 2 kg, and—according to my sources—delivers impressively fast autofocus. I do not have the pricing of the lens yet but it will be unveiled next week on August 19. We are also getting the new 12mm f/1.4 APS-C lens and maybe also the 35mm f/1.2 II FE. So let me sum the spec of all lenses coming soon:

Sigma 200mm f/2.0:

  • Full Frame Autofocus lens
  • weight just below 2kg
  • 105mm filter size

Press text:

Based on the groundbreaking architecture of Peak Design’s original award-winning Travel Tripod, Pro Tripod is scaled-up to offer significantly greater stiffness and deployment height. It also offers pro features like fluid panning, video support, and fully CNC-machined aluminum hardware, as well as meticulously engineered refinements to every single lever, knob, and touchpoint.

Pro Tripod will be available in 3 size variants (Lite / Pro / Tall) to meet a broad range of shooting needs and preferences. Combined with the Travel Tripod, Peak Design now has a full tripod line, with a compelling premium solution for everyone in the hobbyist, prosumer, and professional .

Product Overview

  • Pro Tripod
    Professional-grade tripod with the stability and features pros need, but still portable enough to carry anywhere.
  • Pro Tall Tripod
    Variant of Pro Tripod with elongated legs for a taller deploy height. For users who prefer taller deployment, either because they are taller, or because they want maximum stability with heavier rigs by not deploying the center column. Longer packed length than Pro Tripod and slightly heavier.
  • Pro Lite Tripod
    Same head as Pro Tripod, but with the legs, hub, and center column scaled down for greater portability. For users willing to sacrifice a little stability for a little more packability. Packs down skinnier and slightly shorter than Pro Tripod, weighs slightly less. Still significantly stronger, stiffer, larger, and heavier than Travel Tripod.
  • Tilt Mod*
    Instantly convert your Pro Tripod ball head into a fluid pan/tilt head for capturing ultra-smooth pro-quality video. Capture photo and video in a single shoot without lugging extra gear or interrupting your workflow
  • Pro Leveling Base*
    Combine the portability and stability of our carbon fiber Pro Tripod legs with the functionality of your own dedicated pro video head, gimbal, geared head, 3-way head, and more. Quickly level it on uneven terrain without the need to adjust your legs.
  • Pro Spike Feet Pro Lite Spike Feet
    Set of 3 stainless steel spike feet. Pro set fits Pro & Pro Tall models, Pro Lite fits only Pro Lite model. Achieve superior stability and grip when shooting with Pro Tripod or Pro Tall Tripod on slippery or loose terrain.

Pro Tripod Features/Upgrades vs. Travel Tripod

  • Massive stability upgrade. All pro, still no bulk.
    Scaled-up and precision-tuned to handle heavy pro rigs in the most demanding environments, Pro Tripod features stronger legs, an all-CNC-machined hub, and a flanged center column for maximum stability and weight capacity (40lb). Yet it still fits in your backpack.
  • Totally overhauled & refined Pro Ball Head with fluid panning.
    Integrated fluid panning. An upgraded cinch ring for more stability than ever. Added safety toggle for total security. 15-degrees of adjustment even when the center column is fully stowed. Use the new Tilt Mod accessory to instantly convert to a full fluid pan/tilt video head.
  • Faster, more secure camera connection.
    The redesigned Arca-compatible camera quick-lock grips your camera faster, tighter, and more effortlessly.
  • Revamped leg cams for even faster setup and pack-down + easier maintenance.
    A hallmark feature of the Travel Tripod, the aluminum leg locking cams have been reengineered for smoother, faster, and stronger operation. Plus they’re significantly easier to disassemble for cleaning and maintenance.
  • New ergonomic angle adjusters.
    New CNC-machined leg angle adjusters have smooth and satisfying push-button operation and lie flush when packed down.
  • Fully integrated hex tool + mobile mount.
