Description — Sigma Prime Set
The Sigma FF Cine Classic Prime Set brings together a series of full-frame cinema prime lenses built for the Cinema / Video camera system. Each lens in the set offers a maximum aperture of T1.5, providing substantial light-gathering ability that suits demanding production environments. Focus is manual only, consistent with professional cinema workflow where precise, repeatable focus control is essential.
The set is offered in PL Mount, Canon EF, and Sony E mount variants, giving productions flexibility to match the lenses to their existing camera infrastructure. With a full-frame lens format, these primes are designed to cover larger sensors without coverage limitations. Image stabilization is not included, so camera movement management relies on production rigging or camera-body solutions. The focal length coverage sits within the standard range, and the lenses are classified as prime designs, meaning each focal length is a fixed, dedicated optical unit rather than a zoom.
