Sigma is rumored to release a new 65mm ultra-fast (faster than f/1.2) autofocus lens in September


Sigma is rumored to release a new 65mm ultra-fast aperture autofocus lens in September. The lens is supposed to be faster than f/1.2, according to camerainsider, who has provided valid information in the past. My guess is it will be a new 65mm f/1.0 or 65mm f/1.1.

The lens will be announced during the company’s 65th-anniversary celebrations in September.
