Sigma Unveils Six APS-C lenses for Canon RF mount
Sigma has recently announced its plans to offer six DC DN APS-C lenses for Canon’s RF mount. This move makes Sigma one of the first third-party companies to sell autofocus RF lenses under license from Canon.
The DC DN 18-50mm F2.8 ($599 at Adorama | B&H) fast standard zoom will be available from July 2024, offering a 29-80mm equivalent range on Canon’s 1.6x crop APS-C bodies. This will be followed, later in the year, by the DC DN 10-18mm F2.8 fast wide-angle zoom, giving 16-29mm equivalent coverage.
The introduction of these lenses will provide Canon EOS R100, R50, R10, and R7 users with a diverse range of high-quality, fast-aperture options for their APS-C mirrorless cameras. The lenses, which are part of Sigma’s Contemporary series, have been optimized for the RF mount, ensuring excellent autofocus performance and compatibility with Canon’s image stabilization and lens aberration correction features.
The lenses, all part of the company’s Contemporary series of mid-priced lenses, are already available for Leica L, Fujifilm X and Sony E mounts, with three of the four primes also available for Micro Four Thirds and Nikon Z mount.
No details of pricing have been provided.
