Sigma plans to launch large-aperture fixed-focus lenses and zoom lenses to avoid overlap with Canon

News on June 14th, it was recently reported that SIGMA plans to launch two new third-party RF mount lenses in the next six to eight months to further enrich the RF lens ecosystem.

According to reliable source Canon Rumors revealed that Sigma has expressed interest in developing RF mount lens products, although a specific launch time has not yet been disclosed. Sigma's RF mount lenses are expected to debut within the next six to eight months. According to relevant sources, Sigma will release two products for the first time, namely a large aperture fixed focus lens and a zoom lens. While there are no details about these lenses yet, it is expected that Sigma has some designs in place to deal with Canon's legal issues.

According to Canon Rumors, the two products that Sigma is most likely to launch are the 50mm F1.4 and the 17-50mm F2.8 OS DC. If these two lenses are really released, it will mean that Sigma avoids overlap in focal lengths and specifications with Canon's own RF mount lenses. The news about Tamron launching RF mount lenses has not been noticed yet.

According to the editor’s understanding, Chinese lens manufacturer Meike previously announced that it will launch the first third-party autofocus lens with RF mount authorized by Canon - AF 85mm F1.4. This lens is suitable for full-frame cameras, with a filter diameter of 77mm, a lens structure of 13 elements in 8 groups, a minimum focusing distance of 0.98 meters, and 12 aperture blades. This shows that Canon is not absolute in controlling third-party lenses with RF mount.

Sigma’s two RF mount lenses will expand the options of Canon’s RF ecosystem and provide photography enthusiasts with more lens choices. With the active participation of third-party manufacturers, the RF mount lens market will become more diversified and more competitive. We are eagerly looking forward to the launch of Sigma's new products and hope that they will bring more innovations and surprises in the field of photography.
