It is 180°.
What is the angle of rotation of the zoom ring of the SIGMA cine lenses?
It is 160°.
What is the angle of rotation of the iris ring of the SIGMA cine lenses?
It is 60°.
What is the front diameter of the SIGMA cine lenses?
It is 95mm.
What is the screw diameter of the lens foot and distance between screws?
The screw diameter is 0.25 inches and the distance between screws is 15mm.
Does the camera upload and record meta data from the SIGMA cine lenses?
The lens mount establishes an electronic connection with the camera, allowing lens data to be transmitted (focal length, shooting distance, aperture, etc.). The data that is recorded varies by camera. Note: This feature is not included on PL mount lenses that are not compatible with i/ Technology.
Are the SIGMA cine zoom lenses parfocal?
In general, a perfectly parfocal lens production is nearly impossible. SIGMA goes through great lengths to reduce focus shift throughout the zoom range. However, as is the case with most cine zoom lenses, the SIGMA cine zooms are nearly parfocal.
Does focus breathing occur with the SIGMA cine lenses?
It depends on the model. In certain models, focus breathing may seem to occur more than in lenses designed exclusively as cine lenses.
Does the SIGMA cine lens offer dust- and splash-proof structure?
Yes, they have a dust- and -splash-proof structure (the same as 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports).
Are all of the cine lenses you plan to launch come in the same size?
The lenses we have currently launched all have the same front diameter, but their lengths are all different. All of the lenses have the same gear diameter and positions as well. Respective numbers for future lenses are still to be determined.
How is firmware updated?
The SIGMA USB DOCK can be used to update firmware. For further information on the SIGMA USB DOCK, click here.
Can commercially available mount adaptors be used with the SIGMA cine lenses?
The SIGMA CINE LENS are compatible with SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 and SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-31. MC-11 allows SIGMA lenses with the EF mount to be used with Sony E-mount camera bodies. MC-31 allows SIGMA lenses with the PL mount to be used with L-Mount camera bodies. MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 MOUNT CONVERTER MC-31
Is the optical system of each SIGMA CINE LENS the same as that of the SIGMA still lens with the same focal length?
Yes, it is the same in order to leverage the outstanding optical performance of SIGMA GLOBAL VISION lenses, which have earned a worldwide reputation for their excellence. The lens cells, aperture mechanical system, and overall optical system are the same as that of the still photo lens of the same focal length.
Are the SIGMA cine lenses compatible with other manufacturers’ cameras?
The cine lenses each have models compatible with the Canon EF mount, Sony E-mount, and Arri PL mount, allowing them to be used by the main cine cameras on the market.
Are the SIGMA cine lenses interchangeable with their SIGMA still lens counterparts (i.e., system compatibility)?
Yes. The coatings are also the same, simplifying colour correction.
How do SIGMA CINE LENS and still lenses differ?
Our cine lenses feature a completely updated mechanical system. We have also given them a choice range of functions to optimize them for modern cinematography. Further, each of our cine lenses features dust- and -splash-proof construction and larger angles of rotation for the iris, focus, and zoom rings.
What makes the SIGMA CINE LENS superior?
SIGMA cine lenses have the resolving power needed to make them fully ready for 6-8K shooting, as well as a design that minimizes ghosting and flare. The lineup also includes models that offer full-frame image sensor coverage. SIGMA cine lenses combine outstanding image quality and compactness in a way.
Although previous SIGMA cine lenses basicaly retains the idea from SIGMA still lenses, are there plans to develop cine lenses with original focal lengths in the feature?
Although we are currently unable to discuss any such plans, we will be providing further details on the development and marketing of our cine lenses on the SIGMA website going forward.
Can I use teleconverters with the SIGMA cine lenses?
The current models of our cine lens line-up are not compatible with teleconverters.
Can the SIGMA cine lenses be used on interchangeable still lens camera bodies?
Yes, they may be used on conventional still camera bodies, but the Program Mode, Shutter Speed Priority Mode, and AF functions will not be accessible.
