Does anyone care about Sigma? Their cameras have always sucked ass.
Only idiots and cheapskates buy their products.

What sort of "cheapskate" pays $8,000 for a camera? :-)

Over the many years, I've never seen a Sigma camera body (film or digital)
in use anywhere.


So what, they have sold some at least. NOT to me though :-)

I've seen them for sale, but not in use. But all that is anecdotal.

in what stores? the only places that carry sigma cameras are the big
stores like b&h or samy's. normal size stores and certainly the smaller
ones won't touch it because nobody wants the camera. no point in
stocking what doesn't sell.

ultimately, they end up being dumped at places like cameta who sold off
all the unsold sd14s for $350 (down from a $1600 original street price)
and even at that price it took like two years to get rid of them all.
