Are the new Sigma X-mount lenses going to be compatible with older bodies? I've got the X-E2 (not planning to upgrade anytime soon) and I'm considering getting the new Sigma 56mm.

I shoot jpeg, so I'm mostly concerned about in-camera lens corrections.

Viltrox, Zeiss, Tokina, Samyang lenses work fine, new Fuji lenses work fine, I don't see any reason for the Sigma to be a different story.

The reason Voigtlander lenses don't work with older bodies is that because they are fully manual focus and manual aperture, they use the Fuji cinema lens protocols, which were only made first on the xt2 and xh1.

But all Autofocus lenses are compatible even with the xpro1, because they use the original autofocus lens protocols.
