    Building on the groundbreaking Sigma Global Vision 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art Lens, the new Sigma 50-100 F1.8 (75-150mm on 35mm format) mid-range zoom lens embodies the same engineering prowess to deliver outstanding prime lens-like results. Factoring in the APS-C image circle of 1.5x, the 50-100mm F1.8 covers three popular short tele prime focal lengths: 85mm, 105mm and 135mm. Like the 18-35mm F1.8, the new 50-100mm F1.8 maintains a constant F1.8 aperture yielding exceptional brightness and resolution throughout the zoom, while simultaneously maintaining focus as the lens is zoomed, a feature videographers will greatly appreciate.

    So with an MFT .71x Speedbooster this would become a 35.5 - 71mm F1.2 (71-142mm in 35mm equivalent). Nice speed and range... hopefully the street price will be a little better than MSRP.

    You could also use a speedbooster with the pocket /micro and 18-35 and 50-100 and have "even faster" results. I bet this would even cover aps-h so you "might" be able to throw this on a speedbooster for gh4 or e mount as well (like I'm pretty sure you could do with the 18-35 and a gh4)

    Anyone that have this range, like Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8m or Tamrons/Sigma/Canon 70-200mm ones.

    @vitaly_kiselev which lens is that?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Just note that it is same as 75-150mm F2.8 for FF, and you can use speed booster to mount it.

    Instabuy if this is real.

    @Tron

    Best idea is to provide also real source

    Yeah, let's hope someone tests that light throughput to make sure it really is f1.8 all the way through. It's only a 2:1 ratio, which makes it easier to accomplish.

    Does anyone know if there is a light throughput test on the 18-35 Sigma?

    I do like the concept, that with each lens & 2 bodies and a little zooming with your feet, you could cover 18-100mm at f1.8

    Looks legit! http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/leaked-first-picture-of-the-crazy-sigma-50-100mm-f1-8-lens/
