Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 available for RF mount
Sigma has announced a Canon RF mount version of the popular 18-50mm f/2.8. The standard zoom lens is designed for APS-C size mirrorless cameras and features a constant aperture of f/2.8 throughout its zoom range. Key features include a versatile full-frame equivalent zoom range of 28.8-80mm and minimum focus distance of 12.1cm, delivering a max magnification ratio of 1:2.8. A maximum diameter of 69.2mm, 74.5mm length and 300g weight make it the smallest and lightest in its class. Sigma says it has developed a new control algorithm for the Canon RF mount that optimises AF drive and communication speeds. This adaptation supports high- speed AF, Servo AF and in-camera aberration correction, though compatibility with these depends on the camera. If you already own the lens in another mount but want to change system, you will be pleased to hear Sigma offers a conversion service, allowing you to change to RF mount. The optic hits shelves mid-July 2024, priced at £479. sigmauk.com
