Sigma Lenses for Z-mount Available

16mm, 30mm, and 56mm primes for DX Z cameras

Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN lens for Nikon Z mount

The three newest lenses for Nikon Z-mount are now showing up in camera shops. These lenses are designed to cover Nikon’s DX format (APS-C) sensors, as found in the Nikon Z 50, Z fc, and Z 30 cameras. All three of these lenses appear to have a solid design and construction. Each one offers a 9-bladed diaphragm, weather sealing, and fast stepping motor AF

With this trio of primes, Nikon DX shooters will have a nice set of very fast lenses for street, landscape, and portrait photography. Moreover, all of these new lenses are priced at under $500 US.
