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?
