When will Sigma and/or Tamron produce RF lenses?

Re: When will Sigma and/or Tamron produce RF lenses?

Two limiters that I can think of: First, they have a decent line up of EF mount lenses. Second, the number of R and RP units in the hands of photographers/consumers is still not big enough for them to "invest" into RF mounts. There has to be a minimum number for them to consider it worthwhile to do high volume manufacture of a particular lens mount. Sigma just released a slew of EFM lenses. Tamron was early into the EFM lens market, but if I remember correctly, they did not go beyond 1-2 lenses.

EF mount caters to EFM, EF/EF-S and RF bodies.
