Και μια πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα συνέντευξη είχε τη δυνατότητα να πάρει το DPReviewμ στην έκθεση CP+ 2017. Η σημαντικότερη ίσως εταιρία φακών είχε τον CEO της Sigma Kazuto Yamaki εκεί και μίλησε για όλα. Τους native Sigma E-mount φακούς, τον Sigma MC-11 adapter και όχι μόνο. Στα βασικά:

Είπε:

  • Our plan is to develop full-frame lenses for Sony E mount, and in the future we will have more E mount lenses. But it takes time. Normally it takes about two years to develop one lens, sometimes three. So even if I start the process now, the lens might come out in two years time.
  • Weather sealing isn’t a lot of work.
  • Custom machinery had to be designed to make the glass for the 12-24mm, which allowed them to make a 14mm f/1.8 later.
  • The perception of Sigma is changing. Now the brand gets more respect for quality glass.
  • They don’t want to grow too quickly.
  • Data on the Cine lens market isn’t good, so entering it is a gamble, but their lenses are designed for 8k.
  • Sigma must release lenses that add to the photographic community.
