According to CNET, in a recent interview with Sigma’s CEO Kazuto Yamaki, Sigma is planing to release a very unique lens next year that never exited in the market.
From CNET:
What new models can we expect? Replacements for mainstay lenses like the 70-200mm or models that fit into the holes of your competitors’ product lines?
Yamaki: We have two directions. We have to develop the traditional lenses like the 50mm f1.4, but the other direction is that I really want to make a very unique lens that never existed in the market. That is a big motivation for me. Sigma has a history of releasing unique new lenses. In the 1970s, Sigma was the first company that developed the wide-angle zoom lens. It was 21-35mm. We are always trying to some something new.
Is there anything new coming this year?
Yamaki: We have already announced our products for this year. Next year we will have several new items.
Something nobody else has?
Yamaki: Next year.
A zoom or prime [fixed focal length] lens?
Yamaki: Both. Well, we are still studying it. We’re not sure we can release it to the market. A new product is quite risky. Sometimes we have to give up in the middle of the development. We were very fortunate to complete the 18-35mm f1.8 design.
According to the Kazuto Yamaki, there is no new lens coming in 2014, we will wait until CES 2015 for new Sigma products announcement.

What I want is Sigma 85mm f/1.4 art, 135mm f/1.8 art, 24mm f/1.4 art, and 24-70mm f/2, come on Sigma, take my money please !
My words.. Would be so awesome! Especially the 135 and 85!

a prime/zoom capable lens ? this i got to see….
A wide angle sigma zoom (10-20 mm range) which had a bigger Aperture than f2.8
the 18-35. f/1.8 looks great. I do like the way that sigma and tamron have really upped the ante recently in lens design.
“Unique” Full Frame lenses Please!
Hmmmm…Sigma ? Who’s that ? Nikkor for me….only Nikkor.
sigma should improve 70-200 model. because their current 70-200 is not as good as Canon and Tamron same model.
I expect something along the lines of F2 or F2.8 zoom, but extendable (with zoommotor). 24-70mm or even 24-200mm. That would be unique. Current lenses of this caliber have a fixed length and take up space. Surprise me guys!
I am very fond of Sigma products, I have several….A mid-zoom lens like a 24-90mm f/2.8 with internal zooming, weather sealed & fast focusing…right in between their 17-50mm & 50-150mm lenses….
Yes, my wish lens from Sigma would be… Sigma 24-90mm f/2.8 with internal zooming, weather sealed, fast auto focusing and YES… DO NOT forget the os…… please…
