Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art
BEST FULL FRAME WIDE ANGLE PRIME LENS
Citation: Today’s trend in lenses coincide with what’s happening in modern camera design, meaning smaller, lighter, and more responsive products that bring advantages to both still and video capture. This fast wide angle, full frame lens comes in with a 30% reduction in weight and 20% in length than previous manifestations. It also features a linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) that provides faster, quieter autofocus and significantly suppresses focus breathing, making it more suitable for video work than its predecessors, as does its “de-click” option for aperture changes. An 11-rounded diaphragm is especially designed to deliver smooth bokeh for even more creative image interpretations.

Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports
BEST FULL FRAME TELEPHOTO PRIME LENS
Citation: Housed within a sturdy magnesium alloy body, this high-performance telephoto lens is aimed squarely at pro sports, portrait, nature, and low-light photographers. AF tracking is precise, rapid, and near-silent, with an amazing 6.5 stops* of image stabilization in two OS modes, Mode 1 for general and Mode 2 for panning. Addressing often less than favorable shooting conditions encountered in the fi eld, it incorporates coatings that correct and suppress flare, ghosting, and even strong backlight. An added feature is an Arca-Swiss compatible tripod socket that doubles as a carrying handle, making for quick and easy transition from stationary to action capture.
* Based on CIPA guidelines. (Measured at a focal length of 200mm with a 35mm full-frame camera)
