Tamron’s release of the 11-20mm f/2.8 lens for Canon RF is a welcome addition to the growing range of third-party options for the RF mount. Priced at $659, this ultra-wide-angle zoom lens offers a bright constant f/2.8 aperture, making it a versatile tool for a variety of photography styles, from landscapes to astrophotography. Its compact size and lightweight design (just 335 grams) make it a convenient choice for travel and on-the-go creators.

SIGMA Corporation of America, the U.S. subsidiary of the renowned Japanese lens manufacturer SIGMA Corporation, has made an exciting announcement for Canon EOS R system users. Starting in late 2024 and early 2025, four new prime lenses from the F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary series will join SIGMA’s growing lineup for the Canon RF mount. These lenses include the 16mm, 23mm, 30mm, and 56mm focal lengths, promising exceptional optical performance in a compact form factor tailored to the needs of APS-C mirrorless shooters.

For photographers, the process of changing a lens is more than just a technical necessity—it’s a crucial step in adapting your creative vision. The image captures this moment perfectly: a pair of hands holding an Olympus PEN mirrorless camera in one hand and a Sigma lens in the other. The camera body, with its sensor exposed, is a visual reminder of how vulnerable this critical component is during a lens switch.
