  "account": "Sigma has unveiled two new lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras: an ultra-portable prime lens and a compact zoom. The Sigma 85mm F1.2 DG | Art is a high-end portrait lens designed for fashion and wedding photography, promising exceptional optical quality and stunning bokeh. Notably, it is the smallest and lightest 85mm f/1.2 lens on the market, weighing 905g. It also features splash-resistant construction and a full set of controls.\n\nThe other lens, the Sigma 20-60mm F2.8-4 DG | Contemporary, is a surprisingly compact and lightweight standard zoom. It offers an unusually wide angle of view, making it ideal for landscapes, architecture, travel, and video. This lens, too, boasts weather-sealed construction and a protective coating on its front element. The Sigma 20-60mm F2.8-4 weighs just 375g and accepts 67mm filters. With both lenses available in Sony E and L-mount versions, the Sigma 20-60mm F2.8-4 DG | Contemporary will be priced at £749, making it an appealing option for everyday use.",
