Sigma has announced it is developing a 70-200mm F2.8 DG DN OS for Sony, Sigma, Panasonic and Leica full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The lens will be part of the company’s ‘Sports’ series of lenses, and becomes the second lens (after the 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS) to have its focus driven by an ‘HLA’ ‘high response’ linear actuator. Despite being part of the Sport series, Sigma makes clear it is designed to work alongside the 14-24mm F2.8 and 24-70mm F2.8 lenses from the Art series.
Specs released by Sigma France show it will have 20 elements in 15 groups, including six fluorite-like FLD elements, two super-low dispersion elements and three aspherical lenses. It will have a 77mm filter diameter and will weigh 1345g (47.4 oz) in L-mount form and 10g (0.7 oz) less in E-mount.
Pricing has not yet been announced but the company says it will be available from December this year.

The SIGMA Corporation is pleased to announce the development of the SIGMA 70-200mm F2.8 DG DN OS | Sports.
The SIGMA 70-200mm F2.8 DG DN OS | Sports is a large-aperture zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. In addition to the expressive imaging capabilities owing to the latest optical design, the lens offers a high level of performance and features that meet the expectations of professionals in both still and video, including high-speed autofocus with HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), optical stabilizer with the latest algorithm “OS2”, and the superior weather resistance of SIGMA’s Sports line.
Combined with the SIGMA 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN | Art and the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Art, SIGMA’s three zoom lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras with a bright F2.8 constant aperture cover a wide range of focal lengths.
