Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN Sports lens for Sony E and Leica L mount to be announced soon


The long-rumored Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN Sports lens is expected to be announced in the next few weeks – most likely in early October. The date floating online is October 6th, but this is highly unlikely since in the past only Leica and the Chinese brands made any major announcements on a Friday. The lens will be available for  Sony E and Leica L mounts. Sigma currently only has a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens for DSLR cameras.

Rumors: new Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 mirrorless lens to be released by the end of 2022?

Sigma confirms a new DG DN Sports lens is in development (Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN Sports?)
