SIGMA has announces which lenses will be coming to the RF mount in 2024 and the first one will hit the market in July of this year.

The cavaet? Just like the initial launch of Z mount lenses for Nikon, they first round of lenses for the RF mount from SIGMA will be for APS-C.

Launching in July, 2024

  • SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary

Launching in Q4 of 2024

  • SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary
  • SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
  • SIGMA 23mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
  • SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
  • SIGMA 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary

Specifications and features

The control algorithm of the lenses, including the AF drive, has been specially developed for the Canon RF mount, and the communication speed has also been adjusted. The lenses offer high-speed auto-focus and support continuous auto focus (AF-C), in-camera aberration correction* and in-camera image stabilisation. The bayonet of the lenses is provided with a rubber lip to prevent the ingress of dust and moisture.

Note: These products are designed, manufactured and sold under the license agreement with Canon Inc.

  5. Oh my! :eek:

    The moaners and grunts won't have a topic to moan and grunt any more. What a ... ;)
    Oh, don't you worry about them! They will find something. I'm sure about that... let's play guess what will happen!

    People in the DPReview comments are complaining it's APS-C only and took too long. Who would've guessed they would still complain? :ROFLMAO:

    Not gonna lie, I would like the Sigma 14/1.4 and 15/1.4 Fisheye on my R5 (or the Canon equivalent, I don't really care who makes it).

    These two caught my attention. Sounds like real close licence agreement. (y)

    I was about to write "Not interested!" but this makes me rethink.
    Esp. for the 23 and 56 mm. But I want to see RL AF performance first...

  9. But the 50/1.4 is an L and not an non-L lens. Target missed again ;)
    That's right, all those people hoping for something higher quality than the 1.8 but not much more expensive will have to keep complaining if it's above $1,000. I'm relieved i was starting to think I was experiencing a delusion!

    I'd really like some of their full frame lenses released too (particularly the I series primes). Just found it funny people demanded 3rd party lenses, Canon delivered, and they just moved the goalposts and kept complaining.

    I mean people will keep complaining until the entire portfolio of Sigma lenses are available on RF. Meanwhile, Canon will do what makes sense for Canon financially, whatever forum commenters like us say.

    It would be even better if they started by making M4/3 lenses for Canon. "There is no Canon M4/3," you say? That's the point!

  14. Hallelujah!

    Thanks to Sigma, my first "native" APS-C RF-S lens purchases are coming up. None of Canon's own RF-S lenses has been of any interest to me...

    The 10-18mm will be the standard wideangle in my photobag for sure. Ideally I wish somebody would make something going a bit wider, which I think would be "easy" with shorter flange-distance of mirrorless (dream wideangle zoom would be 9-20mm). But not really the time to complain. A constant f/2.8 APS-C wideangle zoom is something Canon would never make themself for APS-C. Thanks Sigma!

    The 18-50mm? Well again, I wish it was wider. Like 15-50. But maybe.

    Primes. Never used primes a lot. But f1.4? Got to have at least one:)

  18. Sigma always enters new camera mounts with APS-C models, nothing weird there.

    I’m just slightly concerned that Tamron also announced development specifically for APS-C as well. Perhaps that’s stated in the agreement with Canon
