Sigma seems to be set to release two new Contemporary prime lenses for full frame mirrorless camera systems. For RF mount too?

Nokishita reports that Sigma will release the following two lenses.

24mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary
90mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary

Unfortunately, it is not sure they will come for the RF mount too, although they seem to be for full frame systems. Maybe they will be released only for Sony E-mount and the L mount.

Stay tuned.
