What does a contemporary lens mean?

My guess is it indicates a lens made specifically for modern DSLR cameras. All the majors - Sony/Nikon/Canon - have lenses designed for for their crop-sensor DSLR models and their full-frame sensor DSLR models. At the beginning of the switch from film to digital lenses originally designed for 35mm film cameras were used but as the digital market heated up it became cost-efficient as well as cost-competitive to design lenses specifically for the crop-sensor DSLR.

That's my best guess.
