No doubt, the huge influx of quality third-party lenses from companies like Tamron and Sigma in the last few years has been a huge boon to photographers, as we have been given quite affordable alternatives that still offer professional performance and results. Now that Canon and Nikon have moved to the world of mirrorless, many are eagerly waiting for Tamron and Sigma to start making lenses for the RF and Z mounts, and the good news is that Sigma will likely start doing that next year.
Nikon Rumors is reporting that Sigma will likely start producing lenses for Canon's RF and Nikon's Z mirrorless mounts at some point in 2021. As someone who recently moved to Canon's RF mount, this is fantastic news. No doubt, Canon's RF lenses are absolutely fantastic, but they are extremely expensive, and it makes me cry a little inside every time I think of adding one to my kit. Beyond that, I absolutely loved my Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Art on my Sony cameras, but of course, there is no equivalent lens for Canon mirrorless (yet).
Of course, with the ongoing pandemic, these plans could change, but hopefully, we will see some great Art lenses available for RF and Z mounts next year.
"Beyond that, I absolutely loved my Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Art on my Sony cameras, but of course, there is no equivalent lens for Canon mirrorless" Really? I absolutely love my Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Art on my EOS R and EOS R5 ;) It works perfectly via a $99 EF-R adapter.
The Sigma 105 art is my favorite lens and it works great with the ftz adapter on my Nikon Z7. I own several pieces of Sigma art and they are all great lenses.
Jeez, hasn't Sigma heard all the internet movers and shakers? Nikon is going out of business next year.
I'm old enough to remember when people told me not to go Sony E-mount because you won't get any second party lenses from Sigma and Tamron.
