Sigma just unveiled a trio of new I series lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras. The three new prime lenses in the I series are the 24mm F3.5 DG DN | Contemporary, 35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary, and 65mm DG DN | Contemporary lenses.

This trio of Sigma I series lenses join the previously released 45mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary, which Shutterbug recently gave a positive review to. Featuring all-metal construction for durability and what Sigma says are "cutting-edge optical designs," the I series lenses are available in L-Mount and Sony E-mount.

"When it comes to mirrorless cameras, striking the proper balance between performance and size is even more crucial. We believe there is a growing demand for compact, high-performance, high-quality lenses," said Sigma America President Mark Amir-Hamzeh.

"The introduction of the I series of full-frame mirrorless-exclusive lenses answers this call. The I series represents a new option: premium compact primes that are stylish in appearance with impressive specifications and optical performance."

According to Sigma, the new I series lenses are "built to the mechanical and operational standards of SIGMA Cine lenses, in compact mirrorless form, the I series have outstanding feel and touch in the hand. The well-damped manual focus ring, aperture ring, and autofocus switches embody true functional beauty."

Here are links and pricing on the three new Sigma I series lenses:

24mm F3.5 DG DN | Contemporary (MSRP $549)

35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary (MSRP $639)

65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary (MSRP $699)

The three new lenses will be available for sale through authorized US retailers in mid-January, 2021. The 45mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary, available now (MSRP $549), is also part of this series.
