On September 9 at 9:30 Berlin time, Sigma will officially unveil the new 135mm f/1.4 full-frame autofocus lens — a true world’s first!
The only lens even close is Sony’s 135mm f/1.8, but Sigma takes it further: 2/3 of a stop faster and delivering around 20–25% shallower depth of field. Sigma China has already teased it under the name “MASTER OF OPTICS.”
And here’s the best part: I’ve actually seen the real lens in person, and even got a sneak peek at some sample shots. While I can’t publish those images yet, here’s what I can confirm 👇
Sigma 135mm f/1.4 – Key Specs
- Full-frame autofocus lens
- 105mm filter thread
- Weight: ~1320g
- Classic black finish
- Removable tripod collar
- Available for Sony E and Leica L-mount
- Announcement: September 9
The photos I’ve seen are nothing short of spectacular — perfectly round, clean bokeh balls and buttery smooth background blur unlike anything from a classic 85mm f/1.4. Yes, it’s a big lens, but still surprisingly manageable.
And there’s more: Sigma is preparing to launch two additional lenses soon:
- 20–200mm f/3.5–6.3
- 35mm f/1.2 II
Stay tuned — I’ll share images and full specs as soon as I’m allowed. This could be Sigma’s most exciting release yet!
