The Image Quality of a High-End Prime Lens.
Full-frame Compatibility — Yet Compact.

The SIGMA 65mm T1.5 FF High-Speed Prime Cine Lens rivals a high-end prime set with their stunning image quality and compact construction, they also offer full-frame coverage. This Cine high speed prime lens is also designed for 6K-8K shooting, allowing it to film various cuts without making any changes to the lighting, taking cinematography to the next level of performance for cinematographer.

Image Quality

Inspecting each and every lens

There are three requirements for outstanding lenses: fine design, precise manufacturing and inspection that ensures compliance with all specifications. SIGMA lenses are born of outstanding design concepts and excellent manufacturing technology, but they are not complete until they undergo their uncompromising lens performance evaluation. SIGMA has developed their own A1 proprietary Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) measuring system using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable high-frequency details are now within the scope of their quality control inspections. Each and every lens is checked before shipping. Thanks to the ultra-high resolution sensors, high- performance shooting is assured.

Minimization of flare and ghosting

Computer-based ray tracing has been used from the design stage onward to minimize flare and ghosting and enhance contrast in backlit conditions. Ghosting has also been checked at every prototype stage, with its causes identified, assessed, and eliminated.

Sharpness combined with outstanding bokeh effect

To fulfill the high demands for image quality in still photography, SIGMA has solved a wide range of issues. The benefit of these efforts can now be enjoyed in cine lenses as well.

Colour balance standardized across the lineup

All of the lenses in the lineup are designed to comply with SIGMA’s CCI standard. Standardized colour balance makes colour correction a snap.

Build Quality

Lightweight and compact

Leveraging the high-precision, high-efficiency mass production technologies developed for its still camera lenses, SIGMA has made extremely lightweight and compact cine lenses a reality. Featuring all functions essential to cinematography, these lenses keep weight and size to a minimum, while their specification is optimized for enhanced durability. The end result is a combination of performance and compact design at the highest level.

Dust and Splash Resistant Structure*

The lineup features the same dust and splash resistant structure* as the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM｜Sports. With each ring and mount specially sealed to prevent water and dust from entering, this lens is ready for use in tough conditions. The unusually robust specification of the lineup allows the user to concentrate on shooting while significantly reducing the burden of maintenance.

*Although this construction allows the lens to be used in light rain, it is not the same as being waterproof.

100% metal body

The body is made completely of metal to stand up to tough professional use over the long term.

Laser engraving for enhanced durability

Information on rings and elsewhere is laser-engraved for use over the long term. In addition, tape may be placed on gradations without fear of stripping away paint when it is removed.
