Well Sigma Fans what do you say, when you've been on two photo shoots with the Sigma rep and the rep is using a Sony camera? I asked where's your Sigma camera? Reply, "I think it's in the car or home, maybe." I took to college students with me who's major is Video Production, they weren't impressed. They went on a photo shoot with the Nikon Rep who was using a Z9 and they got to use the Z cameras and lenses. They were impressed.

Why do I want to buy a Sigma camera? Really?

So what did I do next? I got invited to a walk about with the Leica Rep who right off the get go gave me my choice of any Leica camera and lens or any two if I want to carry them. I chose the Q2 and SL2 with a 35 f2 and a 24-90 and off we went.

For 2 hours we walked, talked, and took photos, and you know what, he used a Leica camera and lens. At the end of the 2 hour walk about, and shoot we talked, he gave me his card, and 3 Leica key rings. It was good.

I love the FP and the IQ is excellent, but I'm looking into the Leica bodies with a Sigma lens maybe. I have a lot of Sigma gear, a lot. I'm a big Sigma fan and have been sense the 1970's.

It seems to me Sigma has also gotten rid of the User Photo Gallery on their web page.

Oh well

I guess the Sigma rep. doesn't think Sigma cameras are important. I wonder if Mr. Yamaki knows that. I would think Sigma would hand him the latest Sigma camera to use, and say he is to use that camera only from now on, until they hand him a new Sigma camera to use, and he would have the choice of any three Sigma lenses to use that he wants to use from their inventory of used/refurbished lenses. If they did that, and he is using a Sony camera at an event, then they should fire him, because he is not doing his job as a representative of the company.

It's sad . . . very sad.
