As already reported earlier, Sigma officially released their 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens for Canon RF (the lens has been available for Sony E and Leica L Mounts since 2021 and for Fujifilm X mount since last year). This is one of the first six Sigma APS-C lenses (no full-frame lenses for now) that will be available for Canon RF-mount (see the full list here).


Key Specs of the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Canon RF

  • Smallest and lightest F2.8 standard zoom for crop-sensor mirrorless cameras (as of Oct. 2021).
  • Three high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements provide superb optical quality.
  • In-camera aberration correction eliminates optical distortion and vignetting.
  • The thermally stable composite barrel construction (polycarbonate with thermal characteristics similar to aluminum), with slim internal metal parts, offers lightweight and functional strength.
  • 7 rounded aperture blades offer smooth background blur (bokeh).
  • Stepping motor provides swift, accurate, and quiet autofocus for still and video shooting.
  • Working distance of just over an inch (2.7cm) from the front element at 18mm.
  • It includes a petal-type hood to reduce ghosts and flaring while protecting the front lens element.
  • High-precision, durable brass bayonet mount with dust and splash-resistant structure.

Was the Panasonic S9 really in short supply because of high demand? The camera is currently sitting in stock a week before the official shipping date…

Was the Panasonic S9 camera really in short supply because of high demand? The camera is currently sitting in stock at Adorama and B&H Photo - (all colors available!) almost a week before the official shipping date.

Companies should work harder to convince us that their products are good and selling well. Announcing short supply because of high demand is outdated and laughable.

I do believe that the Fujifilm X100VI, for example, is currently in high demand—Amazon still does not even let you place an order. The Leica Q3, Nikon Z8, and a few other cameras were also really in high demand, but everything else is marketing BS. Just take a look at the long list of products that were "in high demand" and tell me what you think.

Ricoh even recently implemented a lottery system in order to pre-order their latest GR III HDF and GR IIIx HDF cameras, which are almost identical to the previous model. A lottery system? Really?

Can you believe this: the Panasonic S9 camera will be in short supply because of high demand?

Panasonic in trouble: the company is considering transferring or withdrawing from businesses with low growth potential by fiscal 2026, President Kusumi calls it a “crisis situation”
