I have three big L-mount news to share today:

First: New Sigma 50-120mm f/2.8 APS-C lens coming on October 8

I got not confirmation if that includes an L-mount version, all I know for sure is that this is the next lens coming from Sigma. What’s unclear is if Sigma will also announce another fast Full Frame prime lens on October 24th

Second: Exciting L-mount Cine camera is coming!

I have now reliable sources confirming that soon we will get a new Cine L-mount cameras. I am working on the specs now and should be able to share some details next week!

Sigma has officially confirmed that it will hold a product announcement event on October 24. The company’s German division has begun inviting photographers to follow the event through a dedicated newsletter.

Sigma does not often promote its announcements with such a broad public invitation, so this could be more than a routine product launch.

Previous rumors suggested that Sigma was developing the world’s fastest autofocus lens for full-frame cameras—potentially a 65mm f/1.1 or even an f/1.0 model. Whether that lens will make its debut on October 24 remains to be seen, but I hope to share more details soon.

Would you be interested in a 65mm f/1.1 L-mount lens?

Trusted sources have confirmed that Sigma will release more L-mount lenses in October/November. I should have more details soon…
…Any wishes?”

Trusted sources (thanks!) have now confirmed that Sigma will announce these two new lenses on September 8:

• 85mm f/1.2 L (already listed at B&H Photo).
• 20-60mm f/2.8-4.0

The third lens might be EPIC:

Back in April, reliable leaker How2Fly said this:

So far, however, none of my sources have been able to confirm it. At best, we might get some sort of development announcement, like Sigma did with the 85mm f/1.2. But I truly hope this lens will be show on September 8. It would become the world’s fastest Full Frame autofocus lens ever made! And yes…likely to be big and heavy too 🙂

What is your bet…will this be a 65mm f/1.1 or a 65mm f/1.0?

See ya soon!

Rumors has it that Sigma will soon have a major product announcement event. Of course we will likely get the already pre-announced new 85mm f/1.2. But according to my sources we should get one more zoom and also maybe the world’s fastest 65mm lens!

Stay tuned!

The rumor mill has been unusually quiet over the past few months. Don’t blame me for that—Panasonic has announced only one new L-mount product in 2026: the Lumix 40mm pancake lens in 2026!

However, 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the LUMIX brand. Panasonic has already started celebrating this important milestone, but it would be surprising if the company had nothing else planned for the remainder of the year.
The autumn announcement season would be the perfect opportunity to unveil something special. This is only speculation for now, but let’s hope the recent silence is simply the calm before the storm!
