Sigma Announces World's First 200mm F2 Telephoto Prime Lens for Full-Frame Mirrorless Cameras

Ronkonkoma, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - Sigma Corporation of America, the US subsidiary of Sigma Corporation (CEO: Kazuto Yamaki. Headquarters: Asao-ku, Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa, Japan), is pleased to introduce the Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, available in early September 2025. It is the world's first 200mm F2 telephoto prime lens designed for full-frame mirrorless. The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports is a large-aperture, telephoto prime lens ideal for shooting portraits and indoor sports. The F2 maximum aperture facilitates faster shutter speeds for capturing fast action, and it creates remarkable bokeh, the artistic effect that beautifully blurs backgrounds and foregrounds, drawing attention to the subject and creating a greater sense of depth. Sigma is renowned for its large-aperture lenses that combine these qualities with exceptional sharpness and high resolution. And as a part of Sigma's Sports line, this new lens also features rugged build quality and weather resistance that lets users work in challenging environments without worrying about their equipment. Outstanding edge-to-edge resolution is achieved, even at maximum aperture, by adopting an optical design of 19 elements in 14 groups, including 2 FLD and 2 SLD glass elements. Aberrations are thoroughly corrected, and flare and ghosting are kept to a minimum. Swift, accurate autofocus is driven by Sigma's HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor, allowing for fast subject acquisition and tracking. Plus, built-in optical stabilization utilizing Sigma's OS2 algorithm makes it possible to shoot handheld and maintain sharpness, even in fast-moving sports scenes. Additionally, the ultra-tough build quality of Sigma's Sports line is evident with a dust and splash-resistant structure, a water and oil-repellant coating on the front element, thermal insulation paint, and a newly-designed tripod socket for mounting to Arca-Swiss type tripods. The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports lens will be available in early September at authorized Sigma dealers in the US for Sony E-mount and L-Mount for a retail price of $3,299 USD. Exclusively for mirrorless cameras Compatible with full-frame cameras SPORTS 200mm F2 DG OS [ This image cannot be displayed. Please visit the source: ] Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports lens for L mount To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: * Product appearance and specifications are subject to change. * L-Mount is a registered trademark of Leica Camera AG. * This product is developed, manufactured and sold based on the specifications of E-mount which was disclosed by Sony Corporation under the license agreement with Sony Corporation. #Sigma #Sigma200mmF2Sports #SigmaSports #SigmaSportsPrime #SigmaDG #MadeInAizu The 200mm with the brightest F-number and outstanding optical performance ― stunning image quality that makes your subject stand out. The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports is the world's first 1 200mm F2 telephoto prime lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras. The large bokeh, compression effect, and exquisite depictions delivered by outstanding optical performance unlock the creator's expressive power and enable unique photographic and video expression. The lens is the ultimate choice for portrait photography, and is also ideal for shooting indoor sports with low-light and fast-moving subjects. The linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) provides accurate, high-speed AF, and the 6.5-stop 2 image stabilization supports comfortable shooting. Additionally, its dust- and splash-resistant structure, along with the robust design and advanced functionality of Sigma's Sports line, makes it highly reliable in any shooting environment. 1. As an interchangeable lens exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras, as of August 2025 by Sigma. 2. Based on CIPA guidelines. (Measured at a focal length of 200mm with a 35mm full-frame camera) KEY FEATURES The world's first 200mm F2 full-frame mirrorless lens with outstanding optical performance Excellent resolution even at maximum aperture By adopting an optical design of 19 elements in 14 groups, including 2 FLD and 2 SLD glass elements, axial chromatic aberration and magnification chromatic aberration, which are easily noticeable in telephoto lenses, are thoroughly corrected, achieving exceptionally high optical performance. Even at wide-open aperture, it delivers finely detailed rendering that maintains high resolution and contrast from the center to the edges. Impressive portraits made possible by the exceptional bokeh With the large bokeh enabled by the F2 aperture, which boasts twice the light amount of F2.8, and the compression effect of the 200mm focal length, the lens delivers a gorgeous background blur that brings out the subject, achieving a unique expression. Combined with its exceptional optical performance, it makes it possible to take impressive portraits like no other. Also powerful for indoor sports photography The F2 brightness allows for a faster shutter speed even in low-light environments, making it a powerful tool for indoor sports photography. The large bokeh enhances the movements and expressions of the athletes, creating dynamic images, and with the high-speed AF made possible by the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor and Optical Stabilization (OS), that decisive moment is not missed, even in fast-moving sports scenes. Designed to minimize flare and ghosting Using advanced simulation technology, flare and ghosting have been largely eliminated, ensuring that the lens renders rich, high-contrast results in all conditions. In addition, Sigma's Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-Layer Coating have been applied to further suppress flare and ghosting. High-speed autofocus and optical stabilization that maximize optical performance HLA-driven high-speed AF The HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor is incorporated, achieving high-speed AF. It combines accelerated focusing speed with outstanding accuracy. Powerful optical stabilization using the OS2 algorithm The OS2 optical stabilization algorithm provides an outstanding image stabilization effect of 6.5 stops 1. The lens is equipped with two OS modes: Mode 1 is suitable for general shooting, and Mode 2 is ideal for panning shots of motorsports and other sports. In Mode 2, Sigma's Intelligent OS, an algorithm specially designed for panning shots, enables effective image stabilization even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally, regardless of the horizontal and vertical orientation. This ensures that the subject's movement can be captured without losing the panning shot effect. 1. Based on CIPA guidelines. (Measured at a focal length of 200mm with a 35mm full-frame camera) Exceptional build quality and durability of Sigma's Sports line Thermal insulation paint for perfect lens performance The exterior of the lens body is coated with a thermal insulation paint that effectively suppresses heat absorption from sunlight. This prevents the lens from heating up, even during long outdoor shoots in sunny weather. Weatherability of Sigma's Sports line specifications The mount joints, manual focus ring, zoom ring, custom switches, and exterior joints are all protected from dust and splash by a dust- and splash-resistant structure 1. Further, the frontmost surface of the lens is coated with a water- and oil-repellent coating to facilitate maintenance when water droplets or dust adhere to the lens. 1. The structure is designed to be dust- and splash-resistant, but not waterproof. Be careful not to bring the lens in contact with a large amount of water. Water inside the lens may cause major damage and even render the lens unrepairable. Newly designed tripod socket A new tripod socket, TS-171, has been designed with its use as a carrying handle in mind, featuring a longer base and wider spacing between it and the lens. The tripod ring incorporates a 90° click mechanism, allowing for smooth and secure rotation, and the foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss type clamps. Equipped with various functions to support shooting There are various functions to support shooting, including AFL buttons in three different locations, a focus mode switch, a focus limiter switch, an OS switch (Mode 1/2), and a custom mode switch. LIST OF FEATURES 1. Assignment of functions is limited to supported cameras and assignable functions vary depending on the camera. 2. Only cameras that are compatible with the system are allowed to use the system.

Mikkel Haarup breaks collarbone in Unadilla mid-air crash

Mikkel Haarup collided with another rider on Lap 5 of Moto 1 on the Unadilla National in New Berlin, New York, and broke his collarbone, ending what could be described as a Cinderella Season. 'Had a good day going, before going down first moto connected with another rider in the air,' Haarup said on social media. 'Getting checked up and put back together. Shout out to my team for the help and the hard work! Appreciate all the positive energy!' Haarup aged out of the MXGP small bike division, and since Factory Triumph would not have their 450 ready until 2026, the decision was made to bring him to the United States for Pro Motocross. Haarup scored his first top-10 in Round 2 of the season when he was scored seventh overall with results of 10th in Moto 1 and ninth in Moto 2. His first top five came on the Fourth of July weekend in the RedBud National with a fourth-place result overall. In total, Haarup earned seven top-10s and an 11th in 10 rounds of 2025, which allowed him to rise in the SuperMotocross standings quickly. Despite failing to earn any points in Unadilla, Haarup left the track 13th in the combined SuperMotocross standings with an 84-point advantage over the cutline, so his invitation to the playoffs was guaranteed. The first round of the playoffs begins on September 6 at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, and while the team has not stated outright that he is done for the season, collarbone injuries typically take longer to recover from than the time available.

2025 Best NFL Linebackers: Fred Warner, Roquan Smith Lead Top 10 Rankings

National Football League 2025 Best NFL Linebackers: Fred Warner, Roquan Smith Lead Top 10 Rankings Updated Aug. 18, 2025 8:27 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Every great NFL defense seems to have a top-tier linebacker patrolling the field and commanding the unit, but which ones are the very best? We polled our FOX Sports NFL writers to answer that question, with each ranking the top 10 linebackers in the league entering the 2025 season. The top two vote-getters are the exact same from last year's top 10 list, but there are five brand-new names in the top 10. So, let's take a look at how our writers ranked the top 10 linebackers in the league as we begin to unveil our top players at several positions before the 2025 season kicks off. Best 2025 NFL Linebackers Daiyan Henley was a big part in helping the Chargers reach the playoffs last season. (Photo by) 2024 rank: Unranked Eric D. Williams: A receiver in college, Henley has emerged as one of the NFL's top run-and-chase linebackers and has his sights set on playing at an All-Pro level in his third season. The charismatic L.A. native finished with 142 combined tackles in 2024, tied for 11th in the league and the seventh-most by a Charger this century. One of the top athletes at his position, Henley was the only player in the league to notch at least 120 tackles and more than seven pass breakups last season. ADVERTISEMENT Zaire Franklin led the NFL in tackles last season. (Photo by Lauren) 2024 rank: T-10 (+1) Ben Arthur: Playing for an Indianapolis team that generates little national interest, Franklin can slide a bit under the radar. It doesn't help that the Colts haven't had a great defense in at least three years, but Franklin's production over the past few seasons is impossible to ignore. He has registered 160-plus tackles in three consecutive seasons, including an NFL-high 178 in 2024. He can be a liability at times in coverage — which is becoming increasingly important at the linebacker position — but he has a great nose for the football in the run game. Dre Greenlaw is entering his first year with the Broncos. (Photo by Aaron Ontiveroz/The Denver Post) 2024 rank: Unranked Henry McKenna: This dude is a violent force in the middle of the field. The Broncos went out and snagged him in free agency because they wanted to toughen up their front seven — and Greenlaw can absolutely help. Even after missing most of last year while recovering from an Achilles injury, he finished his six years with the Niners with 455 tackles. It's a safe bet to say he's going to eclipse 100 playing in the middle of the Denver defense in 2025. Even after 13 years in the NFL, Bobby Wagner continues to be an All-Pro standout at linebacker. (Photo by) 2024 rank: 8th (+1) Ralph Vacchiano: When the Commanders signed Wagner last season at age 33, it seemed like head coach Dan Quinn was mostly looking for a veteran presence to lead his young defense. He got that and a lot more. Wagner gave them his 11th consecutive All-Pro season, proving that he's still one of the best linebackers in the game even toward the end of his career. He finished with 132 tackles (he's topped 100 in all 13 of his NFL seasons). Most of all, he helped turn a defense that was the NFL's worst in 2023 into a middle-of-the-pack unit. He wasn't just there to guide the young Commanders — he was showing them how it's done. Frankie Luvu, alongside Bobby Wagner, helped transform the Commanders' defense in 2024. (Photo by) 2024 rank: Unranked Vacchiano: After spending the first six years of his career toiling with the New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers, Luvu finally got a chance to show what he can do on a good team and with talent around him — and he didn't disappoint. He's an energetic, disruptive force on defense and an underrated presence in the pass rush. He had a career-high eight sacks last season, even though there really wasn't a lot of pass-rushing help around him. He's versatile enough to play any of the linebacker positions, and he's still only 28 years old. He might have only scratched the surface of what he can do with a defensive-minded coach like Quinn. Lavonte David continues to add to his Hall of Fame case as he enters his 14th season. (Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) 2024 rank: 4th (-1) Carmen Vitali: One of these days, this man will get his due. I hope it's with a gold jacket and bronze bust in Canton — because that's how good David is, no matter if he has the gaudy stats or not. David has the stats that matter, like amassing the fifth-most tackles in the league since 1987. He's somewhat of an ageless wonder, too. At age 35, he's still conducting one of the best defenses in the league like the sideline-to-sideline maestro that he is. The Chiefs are known for their superstars on offense, but linebacker Nick Bolton has helped them reach three straight Super Bowls by being an absolute run-stopper. (Photo by) 2024 rank: Unranked McKenna: The Chiefs have done a nice job highlighting Bolton at the center of their defense. Bolton might not get the same amount of credit as DT Chris Jones, but he has been an enormously essential part of the team's last three runs to the Super Bowl. Bolton is as good of a run-stopper as there is in the NFL. It's a big reason why Kansas City's defense has been so stingy against the run since Bolton took over. Zack Baun was arguably the biggest surprise in the NFL last season. () 2024 rank: Unranked Vacchiano: It's still remarkable that Eagles general manager Howie Roseman signed Baun to be mostly a special teams player before defensive coordinator Vic Fangio figured out he could be much more. The 28-year-old Baun became an unexpected force in the Eagles' defense, excelling in both coverage and against the run. He finished last season with a team-high 151 tackles, 3.5 sacks and an interception. He finished fifth in the Defensive Player of the Year voting, and that was done before his stellar Super Bowl, which included an acrobatic, diving interception. He was an absolutely perfect fit for Fangio's defensive scheme, though his skills indicate he's far more than just a system player. Roquan Smith has been one of the best linebackers in the league since he was drafted in 2018. (Photo by) 2024 rank: 2nd (no change) Arthur: Smith is on the shortlist for top middle linebacker of his era. What he lacks in coverage ability he makes up for with his smarts, instincts and production in the run game. He's recorded 150 tackles in five straight seasons and has three consecutive first-team All-Pro nods. Versatile linebacker Fred Warner is a four-time first-team All-Pro, including the past three seasons. (Photo by) 2024 rank: 1st (no change) Williams: The BYU product remains the gold standard at the linebacker position in the NFL. Warner has been a first-team All-Pro three years in a row and is at the top of his class because of his ability to operate as a three-down linebacker who's equally effective dropping back in pass coverage, running sideline to sideline as a run-stuffer and blitzing as a pass rusher. Warner had 131 tackles in 2024, joining Baltimore's Smith and Washington's Wagner as the only linebackers with at least 130 in each of the past four seasons. Warner also has 10.0 sacks and 10 interceptions in his career, joining 1980s linebacker Keena Turner as the only players to do that in Niners history.
