Sigma CEO Yamaki talked with the Dpreview team. A couple of info:

– He found the response to the new L-mount “is better than I thought”
– Sigma plans to launch “a few lenses this year” that are designed specifically for L-mount.
– Sigma is not sure they can implement Panasonic DFDtechnology with their L-mount lenses
– Sigma is considering to launch smaller and more compact f/2.0 primes
– The Nikon Z mount is in theory good for designing lenses but Sigma is concerned about reflection problems (ghosting) because “the mount is too close to the sensor”
– Sigma would like to be a “unique camera manufacturer” in the future.

I am really excited to see that new FF Foveon camera!!!

Today Panasonic Japan officially announced the new S1 paid firmware update will be available in July. These are the three main features you will get with this firmware:

V-Log recording

Two days ago Sigma announce eleven L-mount lenses derived from their current ART lineup. They are now all listed on BHphoto without pricing and release date. But today Sigma did show a time-table showing when they will launch these lenses on market and it also includes their APS-C lenses!

Big news folks! Today Sigma CEO Yamaki announced the new Full Frame L-mount Foveon camera will be launched in 2020 and not in 2019. And he also added the camera will have a 60,9 Megapixel Foveon sensor!

This is actually a 20MP FF sensor but because it has three layers Sigma says the total Megapixels will be 60,9. Here is an image of the new sensor:

They also announced a partnership with TSI for the development and production of the new FF Foveon sensor:

Sigma CEO Hirai said the development of the lens is almost done and final testing started.
