Kazuto Yamaki President of Sigma on X-mount

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 20, 2019


Kazuto Yamaki President of Sigma gave lenstip an interview, which I covered on 43Addict and he had some interesting things to say about X-mount and in the broader interview lens design for mirrorless:

Other

  • Full Frame Mirrorless is their priority and then APS-C followed by DSLR going forward
  • Sigma wants to develop for Fujifilm X Mount, but their resources are limited and it is not their priority now
  • Kazuto Yamaki wishes they could make a lens for X Mount right now, but they have too much to do with their limited resources

Doesn’t sound like we will see any lenses anytime soon, but maybe they will have some resources freed up in the future or Fujifilm will become irresistible.

You can read the full interview here or read the excerpts here on 43Addict.

LEE 100 Filter Holder Released

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 19, 2019

Longtime readers know that I use LEE as my primary filter system and I prefer them even though some others might have slightly more convenient ways to attach and affix filters. It looks like LEE is finally trying to catch up to them with their LEE100 holder. The filter market isn’t exactly exploding since many like to just fix photos in post, but if you like to get it right in camera the first time a good filter system is a must own.

LEE100: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

How does it work?
Precision engineered from injection-moulded composite materials, the holder is rigid, strong and lightweight. It clips on to the adaptor ring in the same, familiar way, by pulling the spring release and snapping the holder on. Simple to operate, the holder can be attached and removed from the adaptor ring one-handed, if necessary.

After this, the user has a number of options. There is now a blue locking dial around the base of the spring release, and this has three possible positions. When it is in ‘neutral’, the holder is locked to the adaptor ring in the way it always has, can be rotated freely, and allows the user to quickly remove it. It can also be knocked off, should you catch it accidentally, and so keeping your camera and lens safe.

Turn the blue locking dial upwards, and the holder can still be rotated; however, in this setting, the holder cannot be removed – it is locked firmly to the adaptor ring and therefore cannot be knocked off accidentally.

Turn the blue locking dial downwards, and once again the holder itself is locked in place and cannot be knocked off. However, in addition to this, when the locking dial is in this position, the holder itself cannot be rotated.

While it’s fine for the holder to remain locked on to the adaptor ring if you’re moving around with your camera – for instance, with your tripod over your shoulder – it is not recommended to keep the filters in the holder, as there is a danger of them slipping out and being damaged or broken.
