シグマレンズの魅力



SIGMA Corporation has been exploring the possibilities of innovative optical design for 50 years. As the largest privately owned camera lens manufacturer in the world, SIGMA currently produces more than 50 lenses in several camera mounts. Many are unique. All are compatible.
シグマは50年にわたって革新的なレンズを製造してきました。今では様々なマウント用に50種類以上ものレンズを製造する世界一のレンズメーカーです。

Often the comment comes form people I met who knew SIGMA products, they are always surprised with the selection of the products we have, and they surprises them that their options are available to them other than the manufacturer’s own lenses.
シグマを知ってる人と話をすると、私たちがどれほど多くのレンズを製造しているか驚きます。そして、純正レンズ以外に多くの選択肢があることに気づくのです。

People don’t realize that in the 50 thereabouts different focal lengths SIGMA makes, they make them in 5 to 6 different lens mounts. That means, we have got 250 different lenses. With that kind of experience, the quality, the sharpness, everything really comes together.
50種類のレンズを5つか6つのマウント用に作っているということは、250種類以上ものレンズを私たちは作っているということです。その経験があるからこそ、品質の高いレンズを作れるのです。

Since the company’s early days, SIGMA has been devoted to enhance in photographer’s creative possibilities by producing lenses that offer unique perspectives and focal lengths. SIGMA remains committed to these niche products as the company currently maintains the largest lineup of the fish-eye lenses and some of the widest angle lenses available on today’s market.
シグマは設立当初から他ではあまり見られないユニークなレンズを作り続けています。例えば複数の魚眼レンズや最も広角なレンズなどです。

You can only get 8-16 in SIGMA, and sure some of the other camera manufacturers make lenses that can be close to that, but you know what, it's the last 2 or 3 mm has difference that SIGMA gives me in my photography, that gives even wider view that just makes them seen much more dramatic.
8-16mmレンズはシグマしか作っていません。他のメーカーも似たようなレンズを作っていますが、その2-3mmの違いが写真をより感動的にするのです。

Over the years, the company has rounded out it’s impressive catalog of the products with some of the fastest prime lenses, the sharpest macro lenses, and the longest telezooms available. SIGMA offers more photographers more choices than any other company.
シグマのレンズの中には最も明るいレンズ、最も解像度の高いレンズ、そして、最も焦点距離の長いレンズがあります。それゆえ、シグマのレンズは多くの選択肢を提供できるのです。

In addition to offering of large selection of focal length, SIGMA’s lenses also incorporate a number of advanced technologies The company’s exclusive optical stabilization technology compensates for camera shake, and dramatically enhances handheld shooting potential. SIGMA also uses its hypersonic motor technology to provide a quiet high-speed auto focus.
レンズの種類の他にも、シグマは先進的な技術をレンズに導入してきました。例えば手ブレ補正機能はブレを防ぎ、手持ち撮影をより快適なものにします。また、超音波モーターは静かで高速なオートフォーカスを可能にします。

Last year, SIGMA introduced the incorporation of F-low dispersion glass in many of its new lenses. FLD glass provides optical performance similar to the fluorite crystals which is much more expensive and more difficult to work with.
昨年、シグマはFLDガラスを新製品に導入しました。このガラスは蛍石と同等の性能を持ちながらも、より安価で使い勝手の良いものです。

So what sets SIGMA apart from other lens manufacturers? It’s easy. SIGMA has the widest selection of unique lenses within array of focal length that are not offered by other lens manufacturers. As a result, SIGMA users enjoy creative perspectives that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
シグマが他のメーカーと異なっていることは何でしょうか。簡単です。シグマは他のメーカーが作っていないオリジナルなレンズをたくさん持っています。その結果、ユーザーはよりクリエイティブな写真を撮れるのです。

The proof is in the photograph and your wallet. For 50 years, SIGMA has been producing affordable high quality lenses without sacrifice.
シグマは50年にわたり、高品質なレンズを手軽な価格で提供してきました。

Sometimes people ask me how come I use SIGMA lenses instead of one of the other camera manufacturers’ lenses. The simple answer is this, “you can only get the focal length I’m talking about with SIGMA lenses.”
時々どうしてシグマを使うようになったのかを聞かれるのですが、答えは簡単です。この焦点距離はシグマしか作ってないからです。

With four different fish-eye lenses, several macro lenses, as well as wide range of ultra long telephoto zooms, and fixed focal length lenses, exploring the possibilities means “I can get the right focal length for the right jobs at the right price.”
4つの魚眼レンズ、複数のマクロ、望遠、単焦点。シグマのレンズは、必要な時に、必要な焦点距離を、適切な値段で提供します。
