Well, if we are collecting interviews of interest - and open for various interpretations - here's another one with Sigma CEO back in October:

Spanish site https://www.photolari.com/ did an interview with Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki. The interviewer speaks Spanish which I don't understand. But with help from automatic subtitling I think the dialog is something like the following...

Photolari (P) ask about the situation or likelihood to get Canon RF lenses from Sigma, Kazuto Yamaki (Sigma) answers:

Sigma: Sigma's mission is to deliver lenses to as many customers as possible. And I'm very aware that there is a strong demand from Canon mirrorless users. I really appreciate such interest from customers. I cannot tell about future planning, but I really want to deliver such products in the future.

P: When such lenses hasn't yet arrived, is it because of Sigma or is it because of Canon?

Sigma: [Smiling, surely knowing why he's asked a question like that] Sorry, but I cannot comment on it [both laughing]. But what I can tell you today is that Sigma is very interested to satisfy the Canon mirrorless users' demand.

Thanks for sharing Stig.

Would love to see some RF-mount ART lenses from Sigma. I have one (35/1.4) for my Sony mount and it's an excellent lens and superbly built. And the price is quite reasonable.

In the meantime I hope Canon continues to make those lighter consumer lenses as I am priced out of their premium L lenses for the RF mount.
