Sigma is going to be increasing prices on their entire camera and lens lineup on June 2, 2025, in the USA. Stock that is already in the USA will not be affected by this price increase, but it’s probably best to purchase new Sigma gear before June 2, as supplies may start to deplete before that date at the current prices.
Sigma makes 6 RF mount lenses for APS-C cameras. Some may call them “RF-S” lenses, but that is the same mount as “RF”, the lenses just have a smaller image circle for the smaller lenses.

Summary
All of the camera and lens companies will be increasing prices over the next month or two, and some have already have. Seeing a Leica D-Lux 8 moving to $2700 is pretty wild, especially for a camera that is pretty much an 8 year old Panasonic!
The Sigma increases won’t be as high as anything coming out of China, but the 10% tariff on Japan will still affect pricing.
If you’re in the market for any of the Sigma RF mount lenses, now is the time to make a purchase. I recently purchased the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DG DN for the EOS R50 V, and I am extremely happy with it thus far.
