Canon’s Missing Fast Prime – The Sigma 28mm f/1.4 is Here

January 11, 2019 by Dan Carr

I have always been a fan of the 28mm focal length and long wondered why there was never an EF 28mm f/1.4 L lens in Canon’s otherwise exhaustive lens lineup. Well, today Sigma solved that with the launch of the Sigma 28mm f/1.4 ART. Available now to pre-order from B&H for $1399. Shipping will start on January 25th. Nikon F-mount is also available for pre-order, but it’s not yet clear when the Sony E-mont version will come to market. Later this year we should also see an L-mount version of this lens for Sigma’s upcoming full-frame mirrorless camera, as well

Pre-Orders Being Taken For New Canon Primes – 24mm and 28mm with IS

Launched some months ago, we are now nearing delivery of the new Canon 24mm and 28mm primes with IS. I had a chance to try out both of these lenses at a Canon event in Vancouver earlier in the year. Read this write up for my first impressions and some sample images. I think when these lenses were fist announced the whole community let out a collective huh? Non-L primes with IS and f2.8 ? Well that is the way I certainly felt until I got my hands on them. They are built very nicely, not quite L-quality but close.
