New interview with Sigma’s CEO: no plans for a full-frame DP Merrill fixed-lens camera
Here is a quick recap of the latest Dpreview interview with Kazuto Yamaki, CEO of Sigma:
- Sales in China are still doing OK because there’s a very strong online business.
- Since the beginning of March, we're seeing a decline in sales in the Japanese market.
- We’re also seeing a decline in sales of our DSLR lenses, so naturally we have to focus our efforts on the development of mirrorless lenses.
- Most of the lenses we’re shipping of course are for Sony E-mount
- The Sigma fp sold quite well at the beginning.
- We can expect a range of smaller lenses from Sigma, with Art-series optical quality but more modest maximum apertures.
- The development of the Foveon sensor has been significantly delayed.
- No plans for a full-frame alternative to the DP Merrill fixed-lens camera.
