    Adobe Camera Raw update adds Sigma RF 30mm f/1.4 & RF 56mm f/1.4, looks like they’ll ship soon.

    By Updated:10 Comments Third Party Lenses 1 Min Read

    As you all know, SIGMA unvieled their Canon RF (RF-S) for APS-C back in April to some fanfare. While SIGMA announced 6 lenses, we have only seen the SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary & SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary ship.

    It looks like the SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary & SIGMA 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary will start shipping soon. As the latest Adobe camera updated added support for both lenses.

    While the zoom lenses SIGMA has offered are good, the prime lenses should also fit the bill for a lot of people. The coming prime lenses do lineup well with Fuji offerings for APS-C.

    We’re still waiting for shipping evidence on the SIGMA 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary & SIGMA 23mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary wide angle prime lenses coming for the RF mount from SIGMA.

    Has anyone out there purchased the APS-C SIGMA offerings yet? We’d like to hear your impressions of the performance, build and feel of the lenses.

    2. I own both the 10-18 and 18-50 and they are both excellent. I owned the 16 and 30 primes for an M5 and they just reminded me why I prefer zooms. I have an 11-year old granddaughter who may be 2nd shooter at a family friend's wedding. I was thinking of lending her my R7, 18-50 and a flash. She's on the small side and I figure if photographers can cover weddings with an R5 and 24-70, that combination should suffice.

      Any thoughts on the matter?

      That's a great combo and you should get some interesting angles and points of view (assuming she's not 6ft tall). Let her rip it and see what she comes up with.
    5. Are/will they offer RF conversions of other Sigma lenses?

      Scroll down to "Mount Conversion". I contacted them a few weeks ago and the reply was "not yet".
    6. Although I have R5\'s and R5C, I prefer the R7\'s for travel. I had a Leica in my youth and the smaller and quieter R7 is perfect for that. The day before I left on a 5 week trip photographing festivals in Sri Lanka, a local dealer got the 18-50 f2.8. I immediately purchased it and the next morning I left at 7am on a plane headed for Colombo. It was needed as most of the festivals were at night so I was shooting at max ISO in marginal lighting conditions. I
      loved it. Some photos are on my website at www.joewillis.com. More will be added soon as I\'m a slow editor :)
      I preordered the 10-18 as soon as orders opened up and I got it almost 2 weeks ago. Looks great. And I\'ll preorder the high speed primes as soon as available. Very impressed with build quality and performance
