Cinima5D: Sigma Interview About Full Commitment to L-Mount
Cinima5D interviewed Mr. Kazuto Yamaki from SIGMA corporation about their L-mount alliance announcements at CP+ this year. Below are some key points:
- Sigma has new 11 lenses coming by the end of the year and an adapter
- 14mm f/1.8, 20mm f/1.4, 24mm f/1.4, 28mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, 40mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.4, 70mm f/2.8 macro, 85mm f/1.4, 105mm f/1.4, 135mm f/1.8
- Totally committed to L-Mount
- They developed their mount converter so that their lenses could be used on any system
- L-mount Foveon Body was delayed till 2020 instead of 2019
- L-mount camera users can use Canon and Sigma lenses without compromise
Sigma and Panasonic seem to be pushing L-Mount hard at CP+2019. Let us hope that Sigma can get Foveon support in Lightroom so that their camera takes off. I think most are fine with the lack of great high ISO out of Foveon cameras due to their amazing color and detail, but Sigma needs a good editor.
