New additions to this year's presence at WPPI include:
The Ultimate Portrait Lens: Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens

With a minimum focus distance of 9.4 inches from the image sensor at 24mm, photographers can compose incredible close-up shots with expansive backgrounds.
The Cine High Speed Zoom Line - 18-35mm T2 and 50-100mm T2
The high speed zoom line offers the constant aperture of T2 throughout the zoom range with superior optical performance that is capable of high-resolution 6K-8K shooting.

Cine FF Zoom Lens - 24-35mm T2.2 FF
Compatible with a full-frame image sensor, the FF Zoom's outstanding optical performance also supports 6K-8K shooting.
