Non Canon RF Glass?

[StevenWoj]

Does anyone have any info on non-Canon RF glass. I thought I saw Rokinon has some but I wasn't sure of the quality. Does anyone know when Sigma might announce a line?

Tamron make some.

I find reading reviews on PD Reviews and similar you get a balance

I just bought the RF Samyang 85mm F1.8. I had the equivalent on my Sony A7R111 and it was a great lens, albeit slight warm image but could sort that easy in post. So because the lens had an Easter offer saving 20% I plunge for it at £479. That’s a massive saving against the Canon 85mm.As yet I haven’t managed to use it properly but I’m sure it will live u to the test.

I saw that one, was wondering about it. Would love your opinion once you have a chance to use it for a little.

Looks like you are correct. We are going to need to wait for Tamron to catch up.

This is a list of 3rd party RF lenses.

I have the two Samyang lenses in native RF mounts 85 f/1.4 and 14 f/2.8. Very happy with both. Just put up a couple of shots in the Flowers in your Garden forum using the 85mm. Useful to also have the Samyang lens station as you need it for firmware updates, The 85 in particular nees to be at firmware 1.3 to be fully happy with the IBIS in the R5 and R6.

As far as I know the Samyang 85mm f1.4 and the 14mm f2.8 are not available in the RF mount ATM, which is a shame as I was looking at buying both

Sigma has said they working on them but never has given a timeline or any details. Nikon only allows third part lenses if they are thought unique and not a direct competitor to Nikon lenses.

In the meantime, the EF-RF converter works like a charm, so you are not truly limited though native glass would be better.
