Sigma has announced ‘the development of’ (ie, it’s coming but we’re not saying when) a new member of the high-end Art range, the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM | Art for full-frame Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts.

There is no indication from Sigma as to when the new lens will be available, nor its price.

‘While minimising distortion, this lens offers outstanding f2.8 brightness throughout the zoom range and delivers top-level image quality at every focal length and every shooting distance. For these reasons, it is the definitive wide-aperture ultra-wide-angle zoom lens,’ Sigma states on its website.

Features include:
– 17 elements in 11 groups;
– 9-leaf rounded diaphragm;
– 26cm close focusing distance (at 24mm);
– 1150g weight;
– Compatibility with Canon Lens Aberration Correction;
– Dust- and splash-proof structure.
