Sigma seems to be planning 3 completely new lenses + 2 redesigned versions. However, details and availability for Pentax K are uncertain at the moment.

85 mm 1.4 HSM (WOW!)
8-16 mm f 4.5-5.6
17-50 mm f 2.8 OS HSM

New 70-200 f 2.8 OS
50-500 mm f 4.5-6.3 OS HSM

5 new Sigma lenses and 2 new DP cameras | Photo Rumors

I don't know how long I've been waiting for an affordable AF 84/1.4 lens! This would be too cool!

MariusCTM · 02-20-2010, 04:35 PM

Rumors? I don't think so!
And all for Pentax too!

Shashinki · 02-20-2010, 04:37 PM

True for 17-50mm OS & 50-500mm OS if what I heard is correct.

Mike.P® · 02-20-2010, 04:41 PM

DPReview seem to think it's no rumour .. and all in Pentax mount as well.

you gotta be kidding me =(

jsut got the sigma 18-50mm f2.8 if had known was an hsm version coming wouldn't have bothered

and top it off i got the 150-500mm because the 50-500 didn't have hsm - and suspect that this version along with hsm will probably have the in lens stablisation for pentax mount which i hear is better than in camera stablisation and the long end

maybe have to contemplate selling both these lens and getting the new ones now......just when i thought i had spent plenty on lens for the time being

85mm F/1.4 full auto.... great. A new lens to add to the list of lenses I simply MUST have.

Nerdold Nerdith · 02-20-2010, 06:10 PM

DPReview has the press release for all of the aforementioned lenses on their site.

Sigma goes ultrawide with 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC: Digital Photography Review

Now the real question is: How much are these babies going to cost? 85 1.4's have a reputation for being a bit expensive (with the exception of the Samyang).

That 8-16mm looks really cool. It's pretty much an APS sized version of their 12-24mm.

HawaiianOnline · 02-20-2010, 06:27 PM

I wonder if they would ever release weather sealed versions of these?

Bigma 50-500 OS might make me trade the 300/4 IS.

Nature_30 · 02-20-2010, 07:15 PM

I noticed that on the 8-16, for filter attachment size it says "TBC". Does that stand for "To be confirmed"?

vizjerei · 02-20-2010, 07:26 PM

well saying they will be making them is one thing, seeing the product get in the market is another..

Sigma isn't some fly-by-night operation.

Just that usually it will be a long wait for pentax mount to come out to the market

as I see you won't have any problem for the canon mount.
