At IBC 2024, SIGMA is presenting a prototype of the SIGMA 28-45mm T2 autofocus cinema lens based on the recently launched 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art stills version. This new cine lens is currently still under development, but let’s have a look at the details we have so far.
Just a few days ago, SIGMA introduced the full-frame 28-105mm f/2.8 DG DN | Art lens. Now, at IBC 2024, they will be showcasing a “proof-of-concept” prototype AF cinema lens based on the SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art, and as a refresher, this is the world’s fastest full-frame zoom lens with a constant f/1.8 aperture. Last month, we wrote about what we could expect from this prototype. The following video shows you some of the features the prototype is based on:
The new lens is still under development, according to SIGMA. Still, the specs on it say it will be an autofocus, fast-aperture cine zoom with geared zoom, focus, and iris rings, distance markings in both meters and feet, a de-clicked aperture, and compatibility with Φ86mm screw-on filters and Φ95mm matte boxes. There’s also an AF/MF switch to move between the two different focusing modes.
The lens will initially be available with Sony E or Leica L mount options. Please mind that this product is still in development, but here are the available specs, as published by SIGMA:
As the new cine lens is in development, we have no information about pricing or when it will be released. We will keep you updated as we learn more!

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
