The Japanese company CEO was interviewed during the CP + 2019 by DPReview making some statements that could not make happy those who would Sigma lenses for X port of Fujifilm .

According to reports, there would be a technical problem related to Fujifilm's failure to pass information . The senior manager stated that although there are customers who would like Sigma targets for Fujifilm , the company does not disclose the protocol between lens and camera.

This would entail the need to do reverse engineering, thus having to spend a lot of money and time on a market share that is not yet truly relevant to the competition.

Another note that has been made is that the Sigma targets would compete against Fujifilm's native offer . Currently, however, the latter seems to satisfy users by making the producers of "third party" optics even more difficult .

Moreover , we will see many Sigma lenses in the near future, for other attacks. For example, in 2019 two solutions will arrive for mirrorless with attack L (and could also be adapted for attack E of Sony). Also in the coming months, a new compact f / 2.0 lens with a new optical scheme could also arrive .

The company has confirmed its commitment to produce Sigma lenses for various attacks such as Sony E, the L system, MQT and finally for existing reflexes. In particular for L attack there will be a lot of work, because it is a new alliance that is only beginning.
