It's a unique opportunity to speak to the owners of Leica. There have been many times when I've been in the same room as Dr. Kauffman, but we've never spoken or met personally. But at the recent 100th Anniversary celebration here in NYC, that changed.
When I first saw the Sigma BF at a pop-up store in NYC, I was instantly blown away by the minimalist design and spartan controls. I wondered how a camera that emphasized form to this extent would perform in the real world.
Sigma is not a company that shies away from thinking outside the box, and here we have a prime example of Sigma allowing its engineers to think and try new things. Even if I don’t buy this camera from Sigma, I really appreciate that they are pushing the boundaries.
