p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art Rumors?


Last I heard was back in August 2013...

Anyone else hear anything? I'm looking very forward to this lens. Holding off buying the Nikon 24 1.4 until this puppy arrives!

I'm very interested as well... not to mention the 135mm f/1.8.

Both the 24/1.4 and the 135/1.8 were rumored soon after the 35/1.4 was released, but no word thereafter. I too am looking forward to both lenses. Sigma maintains a certain mystique about what's really in the immediate hopper...the 50/1.4 Art is a fine example. Who would have thought it would be released before a 24 or 135?

Yes it would!!! A 400/4 would be my choice, assuming it easily takes the Siggy TCs without loss of IQ.

Oh how I wish. I'd love the Nikon 24/1.4, but just can't quite justify* the price.

the 50/1.4, which isn't a rumor, has yet to come to the table.

Indeed !
with current glass quality line sigma has at this point I would sure think there will be no issues - fingers crossed

If Sigma did any of the rumored lens next, would be the 135/1.8 (or maybe, just maybe the 24/1.4).

Just makes most business sense as even a good 400/2.8 would be highly reviewed, but less profitable than a 135/1.8 or a 24/1.4 due to number of people able to afford it and buy it. I mean, do you think Sigma made more off its 35/1.4 Art, or the their latest 120-300/2.8?

Would be very happy if they made a sharp 135/1.8 as good as their Art 35/1.4 or Art 50/1.4 (which seems to have lovely reviews so far from those who've had the chance to play with it) for about $1,000-$1,500 range. Would be ecstatic if it came with a manual aperture ring.

A 24/1.4? Not as much, but that's because I already have the Nikon 24/1.4.

You are always going to have less IQ when you use a tele extender. Everything in photography involves compromise to some degree
You gain effective focal length but you loose lens speed and some resolution. It doesn't matter if it's a "matched set" It's just physics.

Lol, definitely made more off the 35 1.4 for sure!

I'm sure when the 24 1.4 Art does come out, it would probably make you want to rethink keeping your AF-S ;-).

I've shot with the Nikon 35 1.4 AF-S and immediately switched to the Art version. If Sigma does this exact same thing with the 24 1.4, I'd but it for sure!

I'm hoping the 135 is cheaper to produce, and therefore next up after their exotic 50mm (I'd be very surprised if that thing is not at least 1300$). Plus I need a 135....
