SIGMA has rolled out four new lenses for Canon RF APS-C cameras, expanding their Contemporary line to include options previously unavailable to Canon users. This announcement is particularly notable because Canon has, until recently, maintained tight control over their RF mount, preventing third-party manufacturers from offering autofocus (AF) lenses. These lenses—the 16mm f/1.4, 23mm f/1.4, 30mm f/1.4, and 56mm f/1.4—aren’t exactly new. They’ve been available for other mounts like Sony E, MFT, Leica L, Nikon Z, and FUJIFILM X for a while. SIGMA’s 16mm, 30mm, and 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lenses have been featured on CineD before. In February 2022, we covered their release for the FUJIFILM X-mount, highlighting their fast apertures and compact design for APS-C sensor cameras. For more insight into their performance on other systems, check out the full article here. Now, Canon users have access to the same designs that have already gained some traction with photographers and videographers working with different systems. Here’s a closer look at what each lens brings to the table.

It’s relatively lightweight and has a bright maximum aperture, which can help in low-light situations or when you want to blur out the background a bit. It might be a solid option for RF APS-C users if you’re looking to shoot wide without breaking the bank. Credit: SIGMA SIGMA...
