While the Sigmas are great, it is true that they are not native lenses for Canon. It is for Sony E mount as the lens communication protocols are open.

Interesting take on the wording.

To me, native is the same mount and same brand.

Sigman, Tamron, Tokina, ETC are all considered third party to me, no matter how well it works with the camera.

I get where you’re coming from but I guess you can call it a third party native lens? Native as in native to the E-mount but it’s made by a third party. The reason Zeiss lenses are considered native on E mount is the same reason certain Sigma and Tamron lenses are native on E mount.

For Canon EF/EFM, it’s a third party reverse engineered lens.
