On September 9 at 9:30 Berlin time , Sigma will officially unveil the new 135mm f/1.4 full-frame autofocus lens — a true world’s first!

The only lens even close is Sony’s 135mm f/1.8 , but Sigma takes it further: 2/3 of a stop faster and delivering around 20–25% shallower depth of field . Sigma China has already teased it under the name “MASTER OF OPTICS.”

And here’s the best part: I’ve actually seen the real lens in person, and even got a sneak peek at some sample shots. While I can’t publish those images yet, here’s what I can confirm 👇

Sigma 135mm f/1.4 – Key Specs

• Full-frame autofocus lens
• 105mm filter thread
• Weight: ~1320g
• Classic black finish
• Removable tripod collar
• Available for Sony E and Leica L-mount
• Announcement: September 9

The photos I’ve seen are nothing short of spectacular — perfectly round, clean bokeh balls and buttery smooth background blur unlike anything from a classic 85mm f/1.4. Yes, it’s a big lens, but still surprisingly manageable.

And there’s more: Sigma is preparing to launch two additional lenses soon:

• 20–200mm f/3.5–6.3
• 35mm f/1.2 II

Stay tuned — I’ll share images and full specs as soon as I’m allowed. This could be Sigma’s most exciting release yet!
