Sigma CEO Yamaki confirms “a lens designed for the Sony FE system is going to be released this year”

In an interview releases at Lenstip Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki confirmed our previous rumors:

A short flange back model designed for Sony FE system is going to be released this year.

So this will be Sigma’s first lens designed for mirrorless (and not adapted from existing DSLR designs). Hurray!

He also said that he is “very impressed” by the sales volume of their current FE lenses.

Now the big question is….what kind of lens will they release first? I am sure it will be a prime lens (no zoom yet). What are you hoping to get? Let it know in the comment system!
