Updates on Sigma Lens Compatibility with the Canon EOS R

January 18, 2019 By Eric Reagan

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. I’m currently testing the EOS R and have used it with the base EF adapter and Sigma lenses in my normal operating manner. Even with 15-year-old Sigma lenses, my results have been just fine. There may be some edge-case uses that I haven’t attempted yet that end up throwing me for a loop – but so far, so good.

Read on for the full compatibility notice from Sigma below. [Read more…]

Sigma 35mm and 85mm Art Lenses Now Available for Sony E

June 15, 2018 By Eric Reagan

B&H has the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens and the 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens in stock for Sony E mount cameras. The lenses are priced at $899 and $1199, respectively.

These Sony versions have the same optics and overall construction of these popular lenses in the Canon/Nikon mount counterparts. However, the lens barrel is extended to make up for the additional flange distance required provide a native Sony E-mount.

Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens Priced at $1599

May 25, 2018 By Eric Reagan

Sigma revealed the price of the recently announced 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens at just $1599. As with other Sigma lenses, I think this is an incredible price point for such a killer lens. I was able to play with it for a bit back at NAB last month and I think its going to be a real hit as a portrait option.  [Read more…]

Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art Lens Priced at $569

May 11, 2018 By Eric Reagan

Sigma’s new 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art lens price has been unveiled at $579 and will ship in Canon and Sigma mounts at the end of May to mid-June (the Sony E mount version is coming later this year).

The new lens offers a full 1:1 magnification with a minimum focus distance of 10.2″. The focus-by-wire design for this lens is apparently incompatible with Nikon’s AF system, so the F mount will be sitting out this round. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

Sigma Art Lenses for Sony E-Mount Compared to Nikon/Canon Versions

April 17, 2018 By Eric Reagan

Last month, Sigma announced that it is releasing Sony E-mount versions of its Art lens line to accompany the Canon, Nikon and Sigma camera mount versions. While we’ve been able to use Sigma lenses on Sony’s A7 series thanks to the Sigma MC-11 adapter, the performance is still lacking because it is not a native connection for the Sony A7 lens mount.

Now, Sony users have a native E-mount for the A7 series, as well as other E-mount cameras. However, due to the fact that the identical optics are used for the Sony version, the lenses are substantially larger to accomodate the flange distance for the Sony camera.

Above, the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 Art lens is shown in Sony (left) and Nikon (right) mounts. Essentially, this is the same barrel length increase as using the adapter on the EF-mount lenses. [Read more…]
