Sigma Teaming up with Panasonic

[Doppler9000]

Sigma lenses, Panasonic bodies. Does this reflect a change in development strategies with regard to building bodies in-house?

Panasonic is really pushing their S9 right now, and I guess Sigma is helping them.

Frankly, because the S9 just has the same old 24 MP sensor that Panasonic put in the S5 II, I have no interest. I already have cameras that shoot way better image quality, and I'm not a social media photographer, so I just don't care how easy the photos can be put up on social media.

I would think it's about getting Sigma lenses to work on as many bodies as possible.

The reason for the L mount is to increase compatability.

Back in the day, there were lots of cameras and lenses with the M42 screw mount.

That, and a way for smaller companies to compete with the likes of Canon and Sony in the camera market.

Yes, so L mount is kind of like the modern m42, huh?

I think that's the plan.

My DP batteries fit my GX8, and SD battery fit my Panny G9, so I'd suggest they've been more than friends for a good while!

This is very interesting information that you have shared.

Could you please share more information on the Sigma / Panasonic batteries that can be swapped / interchanged? Between the cameras you have with you.

Battery model nos. will be appreciated.

From what i know and have tried out personally, the Sigma BP-21 used in my SD14 and SD15 is identical to the Pentax D-Li50 and the Konica Minolta NP-400.

The Sigma BP-31 on the DP2s and DP1x i am not aware of any equivalents from other camera manufacturers.

Sattva

BP-51 for fp cameras similar with Panasonic DMW-BLC12

BP-41 for dp Merrills similar with Panasonic CGA-S005

BP-31 from dp similar with Samsung SLB-1237

Sattva,

The Panasonic DMW-BLF19 is the same as the sd Quattro battery.

The Panasonic DMW-BLC12 is the same as the dp Quattro battery.

The Pentax D-Li50 is the same as the SD14, 15 & SD1 Merrill as is the Konica Minolta NP0400.

The equivalents of all of them are made by Hahnel, Duracell and many others.

Thank you for the clear, informative answer for the battery equivalents!

Since, i do not have the Quattro family of cameras, the Panasonic equivalents are not of interest to me.

The manufacturers that you have shared, Hahnel and Duracell...they do not seem to have the camera battery equivalents for the Sigma BP-21 and BP-31.

I checked their official websites.

Hahnel does not list Sigma and Duracell does not have any camera batteries listed on their website. Hahnel lists Pentax, but D-Li50 is not mentioned.

Don't forget that the batteries from the dp Quattro cameras are the same batteries that the fp cameras use.

Just checked Hahnel and you are right they do not have the BP-21 equivalents on the site anymore.

This is the site that I get Duracell batteries from.
