Introducing Kolari Magnetic Clip-in Filters For Panasonic Lumix L-Mount

The new Kolari clip-in filters are now available at Kolarivision.com. They will soon be available at BHphoto too:

Our Kolari Magnetic Clip-In Filters for Panasonic Lumix (L-Mount) deliver pro-level optical performance in a compact, convenient format.

Mounted behind the lens, this system eliminates the need to buy multiple filter sizes for different lenses. Whether you’re shooting cinematic infrared, dramatic long exposures, or creative in-camera effects, you get the freedom to switch lenses without swapping filters.

Each filter is crafted from Kolari’s premium optical glass and housed in a precision CNC-machined aluminum magnetic frame. Designed for maximum lens compatibility, they integrate seamlessly with your existing setup and can even be paired with front-mounted filters for added flexibility—all while preserving outstanding image quality.

Key Features

Professional optical quality – the use of 17 elements in 13 groups, including FLD and SLD lenses, ensures the highest level of sharpness and contrast, reducing all chromatic aberrations and distortions.
Bright f/2 aperture – ideal for working in low light conditions and achieving effective, soft background blur (bokeh).
Advanced OS stabilization – the effective Optical Stabilizer system enables handheld shooting at long exposure times, increasing the comfort of field work.
Super-fast HSM autofocus – the Hyper Sonic Motor guarantees fast, precise and almost silent focusing, which is crucial for sports and nature photography.
Weather-resistant construction – seals protect against dust and moisture, and a fluorine coating prevents water, grease and dirt from adhering.
Teleconverter compatibility – compatibility with Sigma TC-1401 and TC-2001 allows you to extend the focal length to 280 mm and 400 mm, respectively.
Ergonomic design – the solid metal construction ensures stability, and the focus and zoom rings operate smoothly and precisely.
Dedicated Sports series – a line created for demanding photographers who value durability, speed and uncompromising image quality.
High resolution from edge to edge – optics designed to fully utilize the capabilities of Sony’s modern high-resolution matrices.
Support for video equipment – silent AF and OS stabilization make the lens also useful for filming.

Overview

Professional telephoto lens for demanding applications

The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS Sports lens is designed for sports, nature, and portrait photographers who require exceptional optical quality and reliability in all conditions. Thanks to its fast f/2 aperture and advanced optical design, it delivers excellent sharpness, contrast, and color reproduction, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Fast F2 aperture – unlimited creativity

The f/2 aperture allows you to achieve beautiful background blur (bokeh) and work in low light without having to raise the ISO. This is especially important in sports and nature photography, where quick reaction time and the ability to capture decisive moments are crucial.

Advanced optical system

The lens is constructed with the highest quality optical elements, including FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) lenses, which minimize chromatic aberrations and ensure excellent sharpness from the center to the edges of the frame.

OS optical stabilization

The OS (Optical Stabilizer) system enables stable handheld photography even at longer exposure times, which is especially important at a 200 mm focal length.

Fast and precise autofocus

The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) used in combination with the AF algorithm ensures lightning-fast, quiet and accurate focusing, both in photography and video.

Durable, sealed construction

The Sports series guarantees the highest durability – the lens is dust and splash resistant, and hydrophobic coatings protect against water, dust and fingerprints.
Compatibility with teleconverters

The lens is compatible with Sigma teleconverters, allowing you to increase the focal length to 280 mm (with TC-1401) or 400 mm (with TC-2001) while maintaining high image quality.

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!
