Never Seen Before! Sigma’s World’s First Ultimate Portrait Lens

Today I’m excited to share news about two world’s first lenses that Sigma will announce soon:

  • Sigma 135mm f/1.4 – The BOKEH King

  • Sigma 20-200mm – The TRAVEL King

Let’s break it down:

Sigma 135mm f/1.4

This is a Full Frame Autofocus lens launching for Sony E and Leica L mount cameras — and nobody has ever done anything like this before. The closest we’ve seen is the manual focus Mitakon 135mm f/1.4, which was large, heavy, and optically underwhelming.

The new Sigma will be the spiritual successor to the legendary Sigma 105mm f/1.4 (still available at B&H), but with even more extreme bokeh thanks to the extra 30mm of reach. Compared to a classic 85mm f/1.4, this lens offers several advantages — and one small trade-off:

  • Extreme Bokeh: At a subject distance of 3 meters, an 85mm f/1.4 gives you ~9.8cm depth of field, while the 135mm f/1.4 delivers an incredible ~2.8cm.

  • More Discreet Shooting: You don’t have to be right on top of your subject to get a creamy, bokeh-rich shot.

  • Easier Background Separation: Even distant subjects get a beautifully blurred background.

  • Indoor & Low-Light Performance: Sports shooters may find this lens offers just enough telephoto reach to be useful, while f/1.4 allows shooting in challenging lighting like concerts or indoor sports. Switch your camera to APS-C mode, and you effectively get a 200mm f/1.4 field of view.

  • Disadvantage: Bigger and heavier than a classic 85mm f/1.4 lens.

Sigma 20-200mm

Another Full Frame Autofocus lens is coming for Sony E and Leica L mount cameras — and it’s something we’ve never seen before. Most travel zooms are 28-200mm (like this Tamron) or 24-200mm, but starting at 20mm changes the game. That ultra-wide end makes it perfect not only for travel and landscape work, but also for vloggers, bloggers, and selfie shooters. In short: this could be the one lens to rule them all. I do not have the aperture info yet…my guess is that it’s going to be f/3-5-6.3.

 

When will they be announced?

I don’t yet have images, pricing, or an exact release date for either of these lenses. What we do know is that on August 19, Sigma will announce the 12mm f/1.4 (APS-C), the 200mm f/2.0, and possibly the new 35mm f/1.2 II. The two lenses I revealed today might arrive a little later — potentially as late as September.

I hope to get the full final info (and possibly images) soon. In the meantime let me know if you are going to buy the ultimate BOKEH lens!
