{{Nihongo|Sigma Corporation|株式会社シグマ|Kabushiki-gaisha Shiguma}} is a Japanese company, manufacturing cameras, lenses, flashes and other photographic accessories. All Sigma products are produced in the company's own Aizu factory in Bandai, Fukushima, Japan. Although Sigma produces several camera models, the company is best known for producing high-quality lenses and other accessories that are compatible with the cameras produced by other companies.{{Citation | title = PCPhoto Best Tips & Techniques for Digital Photography | author = Werner Publishing | year = 2006 | isbn = 1-57990-697-4 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=chMdQnTTygoC&q=sigma+lenses+cameras&pg=PA77 }}

The company was founded in 1961 by Michihiro Yamaki, who was Sigma's CEO until his death at age 78 in 2012.{{cite web|url=http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/01/27/Michihiro_Yamaki_Sigma_founder_dies |title=Michihiro Yamaki, Sigma founder and CEO dies: Digital Photography Review |website=Digital Photography Review |date=January 27, 2012 |access-date=January 28, 2012}}

Sigma products work with cameras from Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Pentax, Sony, Olympus and Panasonic, as well as their own cameras.

Sigma has also made lenses under the Quantaray name, which have been sold exclusively by Ritz Camera. Similarly, Sigma lenses were sold exclusively by the former Wolf Camera, but following the merger of Wolf and Ritz, both brands could be purchased.

Sigma's digital SLRs, the SD9, SD10, SD14 and SD15, plus the latest SD1 are unusual in their use of the Foveon X3 image sensor. The company's mirrorless cameras, the Sigma SD Quattro and SD Quattro H, use the Foveon Quattro sensor, an updated version of the Foveon X3. All use the SA lens mount. The Sigma DP series of high-end compact P&S cameras also use the Foveon Quattro sensor, which gives them a much larger sensor than other cameras of this type.

In September 2018 Sigma became one of the founding members of the L-Mount Alliance; it announced that it will cease to develop SA-mount cameras and instead use the Leica L-Mount. A new full-frame mirrorless camera, Sigma FP, was launched in 2019 along with a range of L-Mount lenses and adapters.{{cite news |last1=Butler |first1=Richard |title=Sigma to take Foveon full frame and adopt L mount |url=https://www.dpreview.com/news/4798649806/sigma-to-take-foveon-full-frame-and-move-to-l-mount |access-date=26 September 2010 |work=DPReview}}

Sigma is the world's largest independent lens manufacturer and is a family-owned business.{{cite web |url=http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos/515-sigma816f4556apsc |title=Sigma AF 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM - Lab Test / Review |access-date=August 29, 2012 |date=May 1, 2010 |publisher=Photozone.de}}

Cameras

Sigma has made a number of film SLR cameras, including the SA-300, SA-5, SA-7 and SA-9.

Up until the Sigma FP,{{Cite web |title=fp {{!}} Cameras |url=https://www.sigma-global.com/en/cameras/fp/ |access-date=2025-02-24 |website=SIGMA Corporation |language=en}} all Sigma SLR, DSLR, and mirrorless cameras used the Sigma SA mount, which is mechanically similar to the Pentax K mount and electrically an adaptation of the Canon EF lens mount lens control system.

Sigma has been one of the first companies to experiment with putting the Foveon X3 sensor in consumer digital cameras. During photokina 2010, Sigma announced a new flagship DSLR camera, the SD1, featuring a 46MP Foveon X3 sensor. In recent years their DSLR range has been discontinued in favor of mirrorless designs.{{cite web |date=September 21, 2010 |title=Sigma releases SD1 flagship digital SLR |url=http://www.dpreview.com/news/1009/10092129sigmasd1.asp |access-date=October 17, 2010 |website=Digital Photography Review}}

Sigma also produced the DP series of high-end compact digital cameras. The Foveon APS-C sized sensors were similar to those used in the DSLR line. The most-recent line made use of the Quattro sensor, a variant of the Foveon design that had higher resolution top layers and lower resolution lower layers combined into a final image, claimed to be equivalent to a 39 megapixel color filter array image. The four compact cameras were differentiated by their fixed prime lens, with the ultra wide DP0, the wide DP1, the normal DP2 and the telephoto DP3.

In February 2016, Sigma announced two new mirrorless cameras—the SD Quattro and SD Quattro H. Both cameras used the full-depth Sigma SA mount, allowing the use of existing SA-mount lenses, and also used Foveon Quattro sensors. The SD Quattro uses an APS-C sensor with 19.6 MP in the top layer, while the SD Quattro H used an APS-H (1.35x crop) sensor with 25.5 MP in the top layer. The company claimed that the Foveon Quattro technology produced a level of detail equivalent to that of a Bayer sensor with twice the pixel count.{{cite web|url=https://www.dpreview.com/news/6402718555/sigma-announces-sd-quattro-and-sd-quattro-h-foveon-mirrorless-cameras |title=Sigma announces sd Quattro and sd Quattro H Foveon mirrorless cameras |first=Richard |last=Butler |website=Digital Photography Review |date=February 23, 2016 |access-date=June 1, 2017}}

In July 2019, Sigma announced the Sigma fp, a small form-factor, 24.6MP full-frame mirrorless camera. At the time of launch it was the world's smallest.{{Cite web |last=ePHOTOzine |date=2020-01-21 |title=Sigma fp Review |url=https://www.ephotozine.com/article/sigma-fp-review-34380 |access-date=2025-02-24 |website=ePHOTOzine |language=en}} This was followed by the FP-L in 2021 with a 61mp sensor.{{Cite web |title=Sigma's new 61MP fp L adds more resolution and optional EVF to original fp |url=https://www.dpreview.com/news/1024716225/sigma-announces-ultra-compact-61-megapixel-fp-l-and-electronic-viewfinder |access-date=2025-02-24 |website=DPReview}} Both cameras were able to shoot up to 14-bit RAW video.

Software

Sigma produces multiple software packages for use with their cameras and lenses.{{Cite web |title=Software |url=https://www.sigma-global.com/en/software/ |access-date=2023-05-07 |website=SIGMA Corporation |language=en}}

SIGMA Photo Pro - Software for post-production of their camera's .X3F raw image format. It is available both for Mac OS and Microsoft Windows.
SIGMA Optimization Pro - Software for updating lens firmware and performing calibration and customization.
SIGMA Capture Pro - Software allowing remote control and image capture from select Sigma cameras.

Lenses

Sigma makes autofocus lenses for the Sigma SA, Canon EF, Nikon F, Fujifilm X, Minolta/Sony α, Pentax K and Four Thirds lens mounts. Each lens may not be available in all mounts, and may lack certain features (such as HSM) on certain mounts.

In August 2013, Sigma announced that starting the following month, it would offer a mount conversion service for its newest "Global Vision" lenses—those with either an "A" (Art), "C" (Contemporary), or "S" (Sport) as part of their model name. For a cost that varies with lens and market—from $80 to $250 in the U.S., not including shipping costs—owners can send their lenses to their local Sigma company, which in turn sends them to Japan for mount replacement, including calibration and optimization for the new camera system. Lenses designed for DSLRs can be converted to Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K, Sigma SA, or Sony A mounts; those designed for MILCs can be converted to Micro Four Thirds or Sony E-mount.{{cite press release |url=http://www.sigmaphoto.com/article/sigma-corporations-new-mount-conversion-service-enables-lens-use-across-camera-systems |title=Sigma Corporation's new Mount Conversion Service enables lens use across camera systems |publisher=Sigma Corp. of America |date=August 1, 2013 |access-date=August 2, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130804112754/http://www.sigmaphoto.com/article/sigma-corporations-new-mount-conversion-service-enables-lens-use-across-camera-systems |archive-date=August 4, 2013 |df=mdy-all }}
