Summary

Sigma announced the 15mm F1.4 DC | Contemporary on February 24, 2026, with commercial release scheduled for March 12, 2026. It is a fixed ultra wide angle for APS-C available in Sony E, Fujifilm mounts X and Canon RF, and is positioned as a successor to the 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary.

The new 15mm stands out for its focus on portability without sacrificing performance. Sigma indicates an approximate reduction of 30% in length and 50% in weight compared to the 16mm F1.4 DC DN, with a a dust and splash resistant construction and water and oil repellent front coating. Weight and size vary by frame: Sony E (220 g, 64.0 x 64.8 mm), Fujifilm X (225 g, 64.0 x 65.1 mm) and Canon RF (240 g, 69.0 x 62.8 mm). In Sony E and Fujifilm X incorporates an opening ring, while in Canon RF it uses a control ring.

In optical performance, the official sheet confirms a formula of 13 elements in 11 groups (1 FLD, 3 SLD and 3 aspherical), diaphragm with 9 rounded blades, maximum aperture f/1.4, minimum f/16, minimum focusing distance of 17.7 cm, maximum magnification 1:7.9 and 58 mm filter thread. Motorized autofocus STM is geared toward a fast, quiet operation, and the optical design reduces focus breathing for video. In addition, independent reviews highlight its good general sharpness and pleasant bokeh for a bright angle.

By coverage and actual usage, it is approximately equivalent to a 22.5 mm in full format (24 mm in Canon RF APS-C), making it very versatile for street, landscape, interiors, travel, light astrophotography and hybrid content creation. Its combination of large aperture, compact size and quiet focus makes it especially attractive for gimbal work, vlogging and mobile video production.
