SIGMA UK sat down with the always engaging SIGMA CEO Kazuto Yamaki to talk about their new Tokyo headquarters and SIGMA's upcoming product plans. While the whole interview is great and worth your time, Kazuto Yamaki does tease a never-before-seen lens design. One of the products that excites me a lot, is a telephoto lens

Not sure why canon would allow direct competition for standard ff lenses

The niche ones would sell relatively well given there shouldn’t be a lot of work to physically change the existing lenses. Especially if canon doesn’t want to compete in those niches.

Once the r mount protocols are done then implementation in other lenses should be relatively straightforward.

Canon may even sell canon’s af chip for the combined lens/ibis af to sigma to retain the IP.

I still want a 50-135 f/2.8 DC DN C.

Off topic: I sent 30 f/1.4 and 16 f/1.4 DC DN C lenses to Sigma USA to have the mounts converted from EF-M to RF. They sent back a brand new 30 with no explanation regarding why. My guess is that the 16 will have to wait until the end of January.

There probably isn't a good business case for SIGMA to simply release niche full-frame RF lenses such as the 105mm f/1.4

Well, they thing is huge, either they re-engineer it from scratch, or just to have a new identical release with a simple adapter stuck at the back (as they have done for the E-mount) is useless, the dslr version adapted would be as good as the native RF; as you say, they're better off releasing stuff already born for mirrorless, so shorter and lighter, and/or brighter as well like the 28-45 f1.8

...Still, the 105 f1.4 image is absolutely amazing imho, I really found the sweet spot between the previous Canon 135 f2 L/Sigma 135 f1.8 Art, that were amazing but a tad longer to use indoor and in crammed spaces, and the Sigma 85 1.4 Art that lasted me less then 6 months, I could never get in tune with it, I was so used for like 15 or more years to use a 135 prime, and going directly to 85 was too big of a jump. The 105 is much closer to the 135 while being much more manageable at short distances.

I can't wait for SIGMA to release full frame RF lenses. They have been going gangbuster the last few years and have really upped the ante on churning out some really top notch glass in other mounts. I note Tamron also started with RF-S rather than full frame so there might be some licensing thing where they have to produce RF-S lenses for some time period before being allowed to market full frame RF.
