Sigma has revealed that they are now producing lenses for the Canon RF mount, having obtained a licensing agreement with Canon Inc.
These RF mount lenses have been specifically developed to integrate seamlessly with Canon’s system.
Technological Enhancements
The newly developed lenses feature an advanced control algorithm tailored for the RF mount that enhances autofocus (AF) drive and communication speeds. These lenses support high-speed AF, continuous AF (AF-C), and are compatible with in-camera aberration correction and image stabilization—although these features are only available on supported camera models. Additionally, the lens mount includes a rubber seal, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
Upcoming Releases
Sigma’s first offering for the RF mount will be the 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary, which will be available in July. Future releases scheduled for fall 2024 include:
- 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary
- 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
- 23mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
- 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
- 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary
These developments mark a significant expansion of Sigma’s lens lineup, incorporating Canon’s RF mount and broadening options for Canon camera users.
