Introducing the L-Mount’s vast extensibility through our booth entry graphic

In 2018, we announced the launch of the L-Mount Alliance together with our partners Leica Camera and Panasonic.
At CP+, we highlighted the wide extensibility that this shared mount would offer through a giant 10m large graphic welcoming visitors to our booth.

Announcing the addition of the L-Mount
for the entire full-frame Art lens lineup

We will produce and release L-Mount versions for our lineup of full-frame Art lenses. For the introduction of the L-Mount Art lenses, we have developed new AF drive systems and control algorithms (e.g. for optimized communication speed).
In addition to fast autofocus, the lenses will also be fully compatible with an AF-C mode, as well as camera-internal vibration reduction and camera-internal aberration correction technologies. The lenses planned to be available for the L-Mount include the Art lens lineup’s entire range of prime lenses, from 14mm to 135mm focal length.

A new converter further raising the L-Mount’s extensibility:
Introducing the SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-21

The SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-21 allows the use of SIGMA SA mount lenses as well as SIGMA Canon EF mount lenses on cameras using the L-Mount system. The MC-21 further expands freedom of choice enjoyed by all users of L-Mount cameras and lenses made by SIGMA, Leica or Panasonic, and adds to the wide extensibility of the L-Mount system.

Release date: April
Available mounts: SIGMA SA-L, CANON EF-L
*Appearance and specifications may be subject to change.
