Sigma Files Patent for Groundbreaking 15mm f/1.2 Full Frame Lens

The image above shows the optical design of a lens that has never existed before: Sigma’s patented 15mm f/1.2 full-frame lens.

For now, this is just a patent, with no guarantee Sigma will ever bring it to market. According to the patent, the lens would measure 16.3 cm in length — only about half a centimeter longer than Sigma’s current 15mm f/1.4 fisheye. But unlike the fisheye, this new f/1.2 would be a standard rectilinear ultra-wide, which makes it all the more remarkable.

Would you consider buying such a lens? And what would you use it for? Given Sigma’s track record, they just might make this a reality!

Bill Claff’s tests reveal: Lumix S1II outperforms Nikon Z6III in dynamic range

Photons to Photos has published the results of dynamic range tests for the new Lumix S1II. The surprise is that the new Lumix outperformed the Nikon Z6III, which uses the same partially stacked CMOS sensor. Probably the Lumix S1II dynamic range boost is showing it’s benefits at low to mid ISO.
