What are Sigma Cinema Lenses Known For?
Sigma is a globally respected optical brand based in Kanagawa and Aizu, Japan, and stands as the largest privately held, family owned, independently run lens designer and manufacturer in the world, committed to remaining independent and photographer focused. Founded in 1961 by Michihiro Yamaki, Sigma began with affordable lenses designed for multiple camera mounts, building a reputation as a reliable lens alternative. Under Kazuto Yamaki, Sigma continued its high grade in-house optical design and integrated manufacturing, expanding into the cinema lens market. In the film industry, Sigma lenses are valued for robust construction, resolution, and color accuracy. Their housings are smooth and reliable with a notably clean and precise optical rendition. The Sigma Cine Primes have the same internal glass as Sigma Art photography lenses with new robust cinema housings.
