Imaging Resource talked to Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki. Here are some key info:

• Panasonic launched the idea to Leica and Sigma to make this alliance
• First step is to make L-mount version of the current Sigma E-mount lenses (around 14 lenses)

I do hope some newly designed L-mount lenses will be launched in 2019 too. because the Sigma FE lenses for Sony are way to big and ugly 🙂

Photogearnews interviewed a Panasonic UK manager and here are three key info:

1) He makes some Nikon-Canon poke fun and says “you will be pleased to know it has two card slots” 🙂
2) Focus was on the balance between camera and lens
3) Interesting: 30% of the system camera market is Full Frame. 70% non Full Frame (APS-C, MFT)

1) Leica is considering selling Sigma and Panasonic L-mount products in their Leica stores
2) There are yet no plans to extend the partnership yet.
3) Yes, other Lens manufacturers can use the L-mount specifications to make L-mount lenses
