Sigma en Tamron komen met RF-objectieven

For many, it has been a thorn in the side: lenses for Canon mirrorless cameras are not available from other brands. That is finally about to change. Sigma and Tamron have announced the first lenses with an RF mount.

Do you shoot with a Canon mirrorless camera? Until now, you could only buy RF lenses from Canon. Apart from a few manual focus lenses, there were no autofocus lenses available from other brands. Of course, you could use EF lenses with an adapter.

For some reason, Canon did not allow other brands to use the RF mount. That has now changed, as both Sigma and Tamron have been given permission. The first lenses have already been announced.

Sigma is launching no fewer than six lenses that are already available for other lens mounts. These will be the 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN, 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN, 16mm f/1.4 DC DN, 23mm f/1.4 DC DN, 30mm f/1.4 DC DN, and the 56mm f/1.4 DC DN.

Tamron is taking things a little more slowly with the 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060).

There is still a catch. For now, all of these lenses are for APS-C cameras, not full-frame cameras. Of course, you can also use these lenses on full-frame cameras. The camera will then switch to a 1.6x crop.

However, it is a good sign, as this means that full-frame lenses probably will not be far behind. At least, that is what I expect.
