Still a long way to go before we will get the first L-mount Foveon camera

It’s always a pleasure to hear Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki share his thoughtful insights on the photography industry. He remains deeply committed to bringing an L-mount full-frame Foveon camera to market — though it’s still some way off.

“We’re still developing the Foveon sensor. It’s currently in the technology development stage. We’re working on the pixel architecture, but haven’t yet begun designing the complete sensor. The technical challenges, however, have been significantly narrowed down.”

Sounds like it’s not coming before 2030 🙁

Real-Word Performance

One photographer tested Aiarty Image Enhancer V3.5 and was impressed with the results. See the screenshot below:

Enhanced Control for More Natural Results

With the new Strength slider, you have full control over sharpening and denoising:

You can also choose to denoise only or denoise + upscale in one pass—perfect for enhancing low-light, high-ISO, or wildlife shots where every detail matters.

Better Noise Reduction in Low-Light or High-ISO Conditions

Aiarty works wonders with long lenses and older glass, eliminating softness while keeping textures like feathers and fur sharp. It’s the perfect tool for wildlife, birds in flight, and landscape photography, where every detail counts.

Choose between Gradient Overlay for subtle, natural blending, or Routine Overlay for bold, precise coverage—ideal for portraits and close-up shots.
