Overview
The SIGMA FF High Speed Prime Line of lenses includes ranges from 14mm to 135mm and covers T1.5 to T2. The lenses are compatible with full frame yet are compact. They can offer superior resolution compared with other high-end prime sets. With the seven prime lenses from FF High Speed Prime Line, there is no need to change the lighting to shoot a variety of cuts, and it is possible to meet the demands that professional movie creation requires.
This set includes these Canon E Mount Sigma lenses:
- 20mm T1.5 FF Prime
- 24mm T1.5 FF Prime
- 35mm T1.5 FF Prime
- 50mm T1.5 FF Prime
- 85mm T1.5 FF Prime
This set also includes a case to hold your (5) Sigma FF Primes.
Lens key features include:
- Wide Focal Length Coverage - The lineup covers everything from wide angle to telephoto. Produce an entire work with SIGMA lenses.
- Compatibility - The manufacturer states compatibility has been confirmed with each brand of cinema cameras.
- Full-Frame Coverage - The FF High Speed Prime Line is compatible with a full-frame image circle.
Image Quality
There are three requirements for outstanding lenses, per SIGMA: fine design, precise manufacturing and inspection that ensures compliance with all specifications. SIGMA lenses are born of solid design concepts and excellent manufacturing technology. They are not complete until they undergo an uncompromising lens performance evaluation. SIGMA developed their own A1 proprietary Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) measuring system using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable, high-frequency details are now within the scope of their quality control inspections. Each and every lens is checked before shipping. Thanks to the ultra-high resolution sensors, your high-performance shooting is assured.
6K - 8K Resolution
The lineup features the same optical system that delivers 50-megapixel or higher resolution in still photography. These lenses are therefore ready for higher-resolution shooting and are ideal for chroma keying as well.
Minimization of Flare & Ghosting
Computer-based ray tracing has been used from the design stage onward to minimize flare and ghosting and enhance contrast in backlit conditions. Ghosting has also been checked at every prototype stage, with its causes identified, assessed, and eliminated.
Sharpness & Bokeh Effects
SIGMA has solved a wide range of issues to fulfill the high demands for image quality in still photography. The benefit of these efforts can now be enjoyed in cine lenses as well. Part of that benefit includes sharpness combined with outstanding bokeh effects.
Color Matching
With color balancing standardized across the line up, your color correction time is shortened. All of the lenses in this line are designed to comply with SIGMA's CCI standard.
Build Quality
Leveraging the high-precision, high-efficiency mass production technologies developed for its still camera lenses, SIGMA has made extremely lightweight and compact cine lenses a reality. Featuring all functions essential to cinematography, these lenses keep weight and size to a minimum, while their specification is optimized for enhanced durability. The end result is a combination of lightweight performance and compact design.
Dust & Splash-Proof
The lineup features the same dust- and splash-proof construction as the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM|Sports. With each ring and mount specially sealed to prevent water and dust from entering, this lens is ready for use in tough conditions. The unusually robust specification of the lens lineup allows the user to concentrate on shooting, while significantly reducing the burden of maintenance.
Rugged Body
The 100% metal body is crafted to stand up to tough professional use over the long term.
Luminous Markings
The specification, gradation baseline, and lens change indications all feature luminous paint to aid in changing the lens in the dark and other tasks. (Fully Luminous versions of the lenses feature the above plus rings whose numbers and gradations are finished with luminous paint.)
Laser Engraved
Information on rings and elsewhere is laser-engraved for long term use. In addition, tape may be placed on gradations without fear of stripping away paint when it is removed.
Sizing Details
Filter
The filter size is standardized at 82mm, allowing users to use the same size of ND filter on different lenses.
NOTE: Certain lens models are not compatible with 82mm filters.
Front Diameter
The front diameter is 95mm, similar to that of other cine lenses and compatible with matte boxes. Compared to lenses in the same class, SIGMA’s cine lenses are more lightweight and compact.
Ring Details
The positions of the gears in each ring are standardized, which eliminates the need to adjust the follow focus, motor unit, or accessories even when the lens changes.
- 0.8 Gear Pitch - Each lens has a 0.8M gear pitch, which is the standard for cine lenses, ensuring compatibility with existing accessories.
- Silent Ring Stoppers - The stopper of each ring incorporates a damper made of a special resin, which results in silent operation. While offering a satisfying lock feel, this feature eliminates any metallic sounds to permit you to shoot with confidence in a quiet area.
- 180° Focus Rotational Angle - At 180°, the rotational angle of the focus ring is more than double that of a still camera lens, making possible extremely high-precision focusing. SIGMA has also optimized the cam for cine lenses for even easier long distance focusing.
- 160° Zoom Rotational Angle - At 160°, the rotational angle of the zoom ring is more than double that of a still camera lens, making possible extremely high-precision zooming.
Iris with Full Manual Control
Featuring manual control capability, the iris ring offers smooth control without clicks. The T-stop display, which is standard in cine lenses, contributes to high-precision exposures. Just like a high-end cine lens, the rotational angle of the iris ring is 60°.
Linear Iris Ring
The linear iris ring gives users the same rotational angle per T-stop for direct, intuitive control.
Selectable Focus Ring (with feet or meter graduations)
Based on user needs, a focus ring with either feet or meter graduations may be selected. For a small charge, SIGMA can also convert the ring from one type to the other after purchase.
Lens Mount
Interchangeable Lens Mount
Seeing lenses as valuable assets, SIGMA now makes the Mount Conversion Service available for its new cine lenses. Successfully implemented for their still photography camera lenses, this service allows users to convert their lenses to and from EF and E-mounts (charges apply). If the camera system changes, it is possible to simply convert the mount system to continue using the high-performance SIGMA lenses.
NOTE: The Mount Conversion Service is not available for PL mount lenses.
Electronic Contacts
The mount with electronic contacts allows the lens to communicate important information to the body (focal length, shooting distance, aperture etc.).
Canon EF Mount Enhancement
The hole for the stopper pin has been strengthened on the Canon EF Mount lenses with a separate part to minimize loosening over time and enhance long-term use.
About SIGMA
At SIGMA's sole production site, the Aizu factory, they perform nearly all processes in-house, from parts and mold production to final lens assembly. Their artisans bring expertise and skill together in the pursuit of understanding optical performance. At the same time, their suite of leading-edge manufacturing technologies make possible ultra-efficient, precise volume production.
SIGMA offers a full lineup to satisfy professional film needs.
