Sigma says new L-mount designed lenses are coming in 2019 and APS-C L-mount lenses in 2020
Sima spilled out some info in a new interview with Imaging Resource:
APS-C L-mount lenses:
Yamaki said “we will release APS-C sized lenses for L-mount in 2020“. These will be L-mount adapted lenses of their current APS-C lenses for MFT and Sony E-mount
New natively designed lenses for mirrorless:
Yamaki: “brand-new lens designed for the short flange-back system should be available some time this year.”
Market is shrinking.
Yamaki believes the market will shrink further: “Maybe [down] 20 to 25% from now, that’s my guess.”
DSLR vs Mirrorless:
…”the market is changing from DSLR to mirrorless much quicker than I thought.“…..”Eventually, I think the majority of interchangeable-lens cameras will be mirrorless.”

Dpreview thinks Tamron might not make L-mount lenses for now…
Dpreview interviewed a bunch of Tamron managers. And at the end Dpreview had the “impression” that…..
it seems unlikely that Tamron will bother with L-mount given Sigma’s head start as a member of the alliance
Pity, would love to see their current 28-75mm f/2.8 FE lens as native L-mount option!
