WOW! New Sigma patent discloses the design of a new 300mm f/2.8, 250mm f/2.0 and 200mm f/1.8 FE lens!
Optical design of the 300mm f/2.8 FE
A new Sigma patent published today unveils some superb new lenses options for us Sony shooters:
- Sigma 300mm f/2.8 for mirrorless system cameras (which definitely means there will be an E and L-mount version).
- Sigma 250mm f/2.0 for mirrorless system cameras
- Sigma 200mm f/1.8 for mirrorless system cameras
Now usually patents are no guarantee these lenses will make it into final production. But it would make sense from a business point of view because currently Sony doesn’t offer affordable telephoto prime lenses. Not everyone can spend $12,000 for the Sony 400mm GM :)

RUMOR: Sony is rumored to announce the world fastest 16mm f/1.8 FF GM lens in 2021?
Image on top shows the current two fast wide angle primes: 20mm f/1.8 G and 24mm f/1.4 GM (via CameraSize).
A trusted sources gave me the info about a new Sony GM lens. If the rumor turns out to be true this will be the world’s fastest 16mm FF lens ever made: The new Sony 16mm f/1.8 GM will be announced in early 2021.
The currently widest fast FF lens from Sony is the 20mm f/1.8 G and the widest f/1.8 is the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 FE. I have been told it has about the same size and build quality of the 24mm f/1.4 GM.
I don’t know the price yet but I am sure it’s going to be rather expensive. Landscape and Astro photographers are going to like this lens a lot. Now here is a question for SAR readers:
