They are finally here…

For anyone that is interested anyway…

The new Sigma AF cine lens pairing of 18-45mm T2 and the longer 28-105mm T3.

These could be and are indeed of great interest to a run & gun hybrid shooter like me.

The wider lens is internal zoom but the longer lens is not but having said that, it doesn’t extend much at all.

Moderately chonky but nothing too outrageous.

Probably going to replace 4 primes with this duo in 2027 for my pair of S1RII’s.

Too much expense for me this year as I’m running a much tighter ship in ‘26 with my only purchases being a new drone (the old one flies too wonky after various err, ‘incidents’) and new wireless audio gear after a few issues with RODE WG2.

But anyway, these new Sigmas look the business and I’d like to see some real world AF as the principal example they gave in their promo video is of a woman slowly wobbling towards the camera on a tripod  in a studio…and that is not ‘real world’!

Anyone else interested?

Just curious what advantage the cine versions would bring in your application over the stills versions, particularly for the price bump ?

Are they parfocal or have significant reduction in focus breathing ?

Or are you looking at having wireless motor FIZ control with a Nucleus etc?

🤷‍♂️ sexy as fcuk ?

But being serious, a question I have already asked myself and pondering further on…

Ideally, I’d like a longer version of the photo 28-45mm f1.8, something like a 45-90mm f1.8 also with internal non-extending zoom, but no sign of that as of yet…

Perfectly legitimate reason to be honest.
