Sigma has released new information regarding compatibility of its lenses with the Canon EOS R.
I’ve posted the entire statement below; however, I wanted to note a little bit of anecdotal evidence on the topic.

Thanks to Eddie G for posting this video in the comments of the last post wherein I complimented the new AF tech inside the Canon EOS R. This video has been remixed for many different memes and it works just as well here. Check it out above and have a good laugh at Canon’s expense.
