Two New APS-C Lenses Coming From Sigma

[Bob Howland]

50-200 2.8 and we have a deal.
even 50-250/300 f/4, i accept anything with constant aperture.

I want smaller and lighter. I already have bigger and heavier. (Please don't say that being APS-C will make it small and light.)

A 2.0/200mm ART?

Looks like this is the first time for many years that I consider
using another system side by side with my Canons.

For me its the S9 vs z5ii vs a7c. Strictly for photos, vids are a+

Seeing/handling the wonderfully designed sigma 50mm f2 (well, and the sigma BF it was attached to) made me a believer that small walkaround FF is possible. R8 was auto-disqualified because i'm already in canon lens jail.

Please please, 18-35mm f/1.8 successor Sigma! The original is still great even on dense sensors like the R7, but with 12 years of technological advancements I'm sure you can make it smaller, lighter, quieter, and maybe even expand it's focal range! They made the full frame equivalent 28-45mm f/1.8 recently so it's beyond time to update the legend.

For the second lens, I'd like to see a stabilized general purpose bright zoom, like that RFS 15-60mm f/2.8 that was patented but nowhere to be seen. Since Tamron's in no rush to port their 17-70mm f/2.8 to RF for some reason, I'd love to see Sigma take a stab at a competitor.

I would certainly like to see a replacement for Canon's 17-55 2.8. If Sigma did an RF 15-60 that would be a brilliant equivalent to the ff 24-105. But please make the front element largish and provide a large lens hood not the scrappy little ones as seen on some lenses. 15mm would need a big hood ...
Was hoping Canon would actually develop like-for-like upgrades to their EF range but that seems not to be the case.
