The Aizu Prime Line set of lenses is claimed by Sigma to be “the world’s first full line-up of large-format cinema lenses with a consistent T1.3 aperture across all focal lengths”.
They are designed to combine modern sharpness with “a naturally soft, organic look” to offer texture and depth. There will be 12 lenses ranging from 18mm to 125mm, with an initial release of eight core lenses from 25mm to 75mm.
The optical design of the lenses minimises distortion and focus breathing while maintaining a consistent visual character across all models. They have a large 46.3mm image circle for full-frame, Super 35 and large-format cameras, including VistaVision and Arri’s Alexa LF Open Gate. With short minimum focusing distances, the lenses should also be useful for close-up work, which will make the most of the shallow depth of field offered by their T1.3 aperture.
All the initial release of PL- or Sony E-mount lenses are reasonably lightweight (1.6 or 1.7kg) and compact, making them usable for handheld, gimbal and Steadicam use. They support Zeiss eXtended Data for real-time metadata and streamlined VFX workflows.
