SIGMA made a strong impression at Cine Gear 2026 by presenting its AF Cine Line zoom lenses, designed specifically for professional video creators. The lineup includes the 28-45mm T2, released in November 2025, and the 28-105mm T3, launched in April 2026. Both lenses bring SIGMA’s reputation for optical quality into the autofocus cinema space, targeting creators who demand both speed and precision.

Built for mirrorless cinema systems, these zooms emphasize fast, constant apertures—T2 on the shorter range and T3 on the extended zoom—enabling low-light performance and shallow depth of field. SIGMA’s integration of intelligent autofocus tracking aims to reduce the burden on solo creators and small crews, allowing reliable subject tracking during dynamic shots without constant manual adjustment.

The lenses are constructed with durability in mind, featuring weather-sealed barrels and robust housing suited for demanding production environments. By combining SIGMA’s expertise in glass engineering with responsive AF systems, the AF Cine Line bridges the gap between stills-derived performance and cinema-grade usability.

At Cine Gear 2026, ProVideo Coalition examined the lenses up close, noting their practical design for run-and-gun creators, documentary shooters, and hybrid photographers transitioning to video. The focus remains on delivering dependable, high-quality imaging tools that keep pace with evolving creator workflows—without requiring a full cinema lens budget or crew. SIGMA’s push into AF cine zooms signals a broader shift toward accessible, smart optics for independent content production.
