SIGMA offers a cracking diverseness of lenses, from ultra-wides to super-telephotos, primes and zooms, for many popular interchangeable camera systems. Nosotros have mirrorless lenses for our own 50-mount system, forth with our L-Mount Brotherhood partners Panasonic and Leica; forth with both total-frame and crop-sensor lenses for Sony E-Mount, forth with Canon and Nikon DSLRs. Add in our adapters for Sony E-Mount and Fifty-Mount, likewise every bit the OEM adapters to pair DSLR lenses with the mirrorless camera offerings from Canon and Nikon, and the mural has become very complex and somewhat confusing over the past few years. Follow along as we explain which lenses are available for which photographic camera systems, natively, and with adapters.


What SIGMA lenses are made specifically for mirrorless full-frame cameras?

SIGMA DG DN lenses are available in Sony East-Mount and for Fifty-Mount cameras from SIGMA, Leica and Panasonic.

In SIGMA lens naming, "DG" indicates total-frame sensor coverage, and "DN" indicates that the lens is designed specifically and exclusively for mirrorless cameras systems. Currently, SIGMA offers several lenses that are designed exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras in Sony E-Mountain, as well as 50-Mountain Brotherhood cameras from SIGMA, Leica and Panasonic. These include:

  • 14-24mm F2.eight DG DN | Art
  • 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN | Fine art
  • 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art
  • 45mm F2.8 DG DN | Art
  • 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art
  • 105mm F2.eight DG DN Macro | Art
  • 100-400mm DG DN Bone | Contemporary

Each of these lenses is a completely new blueprint, specifically engineered to run across the requirements and capabilities of mirrorless total-frame camera systems. None of these are simple adaptations of previously released DSLR-designed lenses.


What SIGMA lenses are made specifically for mirrorless crop-sensor cameras?

SIGMA DC DN lenses are bachelor in Sony East-Mount, Canon EF-M, Micro 4 Thirds and 50-Mountain varieties.

In SIGMA lens naming, "DC" indicates crop sensor coverage, and "DN" indicates that this lens is designed specifically and exclusively for mirrorless cameras systems. SIGMA currently offers a trio of fast-discontinuity primes for these compact systems: Sony E-Mount, Catechism EF-M (EOS M serial cameras), Micro Four Thirds (Olympus and Panasonic), and even crop-sensor L-Mountain cameras. The 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, the 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Gimmicky, and the 56mm F1.four DC DN | Contemporary are compact, lightweight, fast-aperture primes in wide, standard and brusque tele focal lengths.

What SIGMA lenses are fabricated for both full-frame mirrorless cameras, and Canon and Nikon DSLRs?

SIGMA's Fast-Aperture Art Prime number Lenses.

In improver to the DG DN lenses designed exclusively for total-frame mirrorless, SIGMA offers ten fast-discontinuity prime number lenses in the Art line in both Sony E-Mount and L-Mount for cameras from SIGMA, Leica and Panasonic that are adaptations of DSLR lens designs. With 8 focal lengths offering F1.4 brightness from 20mm to 105mm, plus the 14mm F1.8 and the 135mm F1.eight, these Art Prime lenses bring fast-aperture imaging excellence to each supported camera system.

Quick Tip: Expect for prime lenses with DG HSM | Art in the name to identify this group.

All these prime lenses are available for Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony Eastward-Mount and 50-Mount systems.

What SIGMA lenses can exist mounted to Sony E-Mountain mirrorless cameras and Fifty-Mount cameras with a SIGMA adapter?

In addition to a growing line of lenses for these mirrorless systems, SIGMA offers adapters for Sony E-Mount and Fifty-Mount cameras that permit SIGMA'south Art, Sports and Contemporary lenses in Canon EF mount to be paired with each camera organisation. The SIGMA MC-11 is the EF to Sony Due east adapter. The SIGMA MC-21 is the EF to L-Mount adapter.

The benefits are at least two-fold here: It allows for photographers who have a meaning investment in EF mountain SIGMA glass to adapt their current lenses every bit they drift to a new system; and it allows for many more lens choices for E-Mountain and 50-Mount systems based on the full catalog of Art, Sports and Contemporary lenses released since 2012.

Quick Tip: See the full line of lenses compatible with these adapters here.

Additionally, the SIGMA MC-31 Mountain Converter volition allow for PL-mount Cinematics lenses to pair with the SIGMA fp and other L-Mount cameras.


Does SIGMA make any lenses in Canon RF, Nikon Z or Fujifilm X mounts?

At this time, no. SIGMA does non currently create lenses in these lens mounts. In the case of Canon and Nikon, we suggest using OEM mount adapters to pair our Canon EF or Nikon F mount lenses with their growing pick of mirrorless cameras. Third-party mount adapters are as well available, including some for Fujifilm cameras, notwithstanding SIGMA does not test third-political party adapters and cannot guarantee compatibility.


Does SIGMA offer adapters for pairing SIGMA lenses with Canon EOS R, Nikon Z or Fujifilm X photographic camera bodies?

Currently, no. Most electric current SIGMA lenses in Catechism EF mountain are uniform with the Canon EF-EOS R Mount Adapter (click here for total listing). Nearly current SIGMA lenses in Nikon F mount are compatible with the Nikon FTZ adapter (click here for total listing). There is no OEM option for adapting any lenses to work with Fujifilm camera bodies.


What is SIGMA Mountain Conversion Service?

Mount Conversion Service allows for SIGMA lenses to be switched between released versions of a given lens.

For mount conversion to be possible, the lens must be currently available in both the current mount and the mount you wish to convert to. For example, a 24-70mm F2.8 DG Os HSM Fine art lens in Canon EF mountain tin can be converted to Nikon F, but cannot be converted to Sony E-Mount or Fifty-Mount. As well, a 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art lens can exist converted from E-Mount to L-Mountain, only cannot be converted to Canon or Nikon DSLR mounts.

What SIGMA lenses fit my Catechism Rebel and Nikon DX cameras? And how practice I tell what SIGMA lenses are designed for crop-sensor DSLRs?

SIGMA lenses designed for crop-sensor (APS-C size) DSLRs have DC in the lens proper name, and do not have DN in the lens proper noun. Examples of Canon crop-sensor DSLRs include the entire Catechism Rebel serial, EOS 90D, EOS 80D, EOS 7D Mark Ii, and others. Examples of Nikon crop-sensor DSLRs include the Nikon D3500, D5600, D7500, D500, and earlier, similarly-named cameras. Nikon crop-sensor cameras can be easily identified by their "DX" format designation.

SIGMA DC lenses for DSLRs feature the same Canon EF and Nikon F mounts every bit the total-frame lenses, and thus, tin technically exist mounted to full-frame DSLRs, but you will notice meaning vignetting on full-frame cameras, since the smaller epitome circle will not comprehend the entire sensor. If you determine to use a DC lens on a full-frame camera, be advised you volition need to manually crop the paradigm or utilize an auto crop style in the camera's menu.

SIGMA DG lenses for DSLRs (no DN in the proper name) — which cover full-frame sensors — tin can be used on crop-sensor cameras without consequence, however the effective focal length will be multiplied past 1.6x on Canon cameras, and 1.5x on Nikon cameras.


What SIGMA lenses fit my full-frame Catechism and Nikon DSLR cameras?

SIGMA lenses with DG in the lens name — that practise non have DN in the lens name too — are designed for Catechism and Nikon full-frame DSLRs. Full-frame Canon photographic camera bodies include the EOS 5D and 6D models, and EOS-1D X models. Full-frame Nikon camera bodies include the D6, D850, D780, D610, Df and similar models. Nikon full-frame cameras can exist easily identified past their "FX" format designation.

Does SIGMA Make Lenses for Leica K-Mountain?

Currently, no. It tin be a scrap confusing as SIGMA is part of the L-Mount Brotherhood with Leica and Panasonic, but these lenses and cameras use L-Mount exclusively.

Sometimes, Canon's EF-1000 mountain — used on EOS M series crop-sensor mirrorless cameras similar the EOS M50 and M6 Marking II — is confused for Thou-Mount, but these are completely separate mounting systems. SIGMA does make three DC DN prime lenses for EF-Yard, and SIGMA EF mountain lenses are compatible with EF-M using a separately bachelor mount converter.


What's the difference between Fine art, Sports, Gimmicky and Cinematics Lenses?

In 2012, SIGMA announced SIGMA Global Vision and introduced three lens lines: Fine art, Sports and Gimmicky. Each line has a distinct pattern philosophy. Art lenses are designed for the ultimate image quality and artistic expression. Sports lenses are designed for excellent optical performance, rugged and weather-tough builds, and user customization through the USB Dock and SIGMA Optimization Pro. Contemporary lenses are designed for outstanding optical performance in meaty, lightweight designs.

In 2016, the SIGMA Cinematics lenses were appear. SIGMA Cine lenses and SIGMA Fine art lenses share the same optical formulas, however, the Cinematics lenses are designed specifically for moviemaking, with all-metal barrels, manual geared focus and zoom rings, and uniform sizing and color transmission.

Here is what unifies the SIGMA lens lines:

All SIGMA lenses are fabricated in Japan, at our factory in Aizu.

All SIGMA lenses undergo individual Image Quality testing on SIGMA'due south proprietary A1 MTF device to ensure optical imaging performance.
