Coverage

Super 35

Sigma specifies a 28.4mm Super 35 image circle for both zooms. Its larger illumination-circle figures do not establish full-frame image coverage; check the selected sensor mode.

Super 35 / Full Frame / VistaVision

Image circle by installed rear optics: S35: 31.1mm; U35: 34.6mm; FF/VV: 46.3mm. Changing format requires the matching IRO configuration; confirm the supplied configuration and sensor mode.

Use cases
  • Owner-operator zoom kits
  • Fast S35 narrative and branded content
  • Budget-conscious productions that still need cinema mechanics
  • Commercial sets that need speed over frequent lens swaps
  • Vehicle work and fast schedule days
  • Documentary-style flexibility in premium environments
Tradeoffs to test
  • S35-only and not especially compact
  • Less refined than top-end Angenieux or Fujinon zooms
  • Large and heavy compared with prime packages
  • Still not a substitute for highly specific character primes
