Sigma-Photo-logo
In addition to the 24mm f/1.4, Sigma is also rumored to announce a new 85mm f/1.4 DG lens as a part of their Art series. With the success of the their 35mm and 50mm Art lenses, it should not be a surprise to anyone that Sigma will concentrate on that product line and the 24 and 85 focal lengths are the next logical step.
