Sigma has announced that it will present a new lens in the DN series for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras on December 1, 2020. The lens is rumored to be a compact wide-angle for Sony E and Leica L-mount cameras.
Sigma provided multiple ways to watch the live stream, which will be hosted by the company’s President Kazuto Yamaki:
- Sigma’s Youtube channel “SIGMA Station”
- Sigma’s Twitter account
- Sigma’s Facebook page
The specifically English version will be broadcast at the video link below at 7 AM eastern time, 4 AM pacific time:

Despite the above leak, Sigma has done a particularly good job keeping the details of this upcoming lens under wraps. No definitive details have emerged since then, though the anticipated time of the announcement was predicted pretty accurately.
