Sigma has announced it will be offering six of its DC DN APS-C lenses for Canon’s RF mount, making it one of the first third-party manufacturers to sell autofocus RF lenses under license.
The DC DN 18-50mm F2.8 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 company’s four F1.4 primes will follow on from this, giving EOS R100, R50, R10 and R7 users a choice of 16mm, 23mm, 30mm and 56mm lenses that give 26mm, 37mm, 48mm and 90mm equivalent focal lengths.
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.
With the lenses being made under a license from Canon, Sigma says it’s been able to optimize the AF speed and support features such as image stabilization and lens aberration correction. The news coincides with Tamron also launching a licensed RF-mount APS-C lens.
No details of pricing have been provided.
