Super Members BTM_Pix Posted February 4, 2021 Super Members Share Posted February 4, 2021 So, as per reports today, Sigma have registered an EVF in Korea.. Might suggest a new Fp is on the way but I'm wistfully imagining that they've pulled a rabbit out of the hat and made one that side mounts to the current Fp like the hot shoe attachment does. mercer, Emanuel and JordanWright 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted February 4, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 4, 2021 Yeah looks like a separate add-on, another "11" model like the MC-11 adapter. I reckon side mounted block, makes it like a rangefinder or X-E4 style body, bit wider, maybe with a passthrough for HDMI and USB C. Something like that would make a lot of sense. Good old Sigma. Sony would just make is all buy the new $3000 Mark II model the next year instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed those years and felt how innovative such cam designers were back in those times so pre-HD revolution... And where DJI received inspiration for their Pocker series!

Yeah, this is the sort of solution I could imagine for it So it would lock into the side and bring all of the ports out and possibly convert them too so you can have full size HDMI as above but also mini XLR from the audio jack. There is even a convenient connection point for it for it of course and I'm fairly sure one of those pins carries power so it could be run without an external power source. The stork would then extend up the side to a tiltable EVF on the top like the Leica Visoflex 020 I still very much doubt it will happen though unfortunately.

Anaconda_ Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Wow, that would be amazing! One thing to consider though, how much would an EVF coming from that connection affect the internal battery life? Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

With the Visoflex on the Leica T its swings and roundabouts as it has an eye sensor that automatically cuts the LCD display so it actually saves a lot there but the Visoflex also has an internal GPS so that probably makes it about even. I still don't think this is what Sigma will be doing with their new viewfinder so its still very much wishful thinking on my part ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members BTM_Pix Posted February 10, 2021 Author Super Members Share Posted February 10, 2021 So it seems Sigma have registered a camera called the fp L. Let the guessing games about what the 'L' stands for commence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that would tie in with the EVF and would be very interesting . I was also thinking maybe "Lens" as well if they've made a fixed lens version like a Leica Q or their own DP series.

MrSMW Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If you squint, really hard, an L can look like a 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Maybe it's a version with no raw options, and it stands for 'Loaf - all the colour is baked in' Alt Shoo and Geoff_L 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt Shoo Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Honestly idk how I would feel if it’s a whole new fp. I literally purchased the Sigma fp a week ago with the pl adapter, SmallRig cage, handle, ninja v, the whole shebang! I also have some pl lenses coming in too! Lol. I’m very interested to see what is in store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanpoiuyt Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I did the Power Chung flip screen mod last week on my FP. That, with the GSS Viewfinder is a sweet combination. The loupe retracts and the viewfinder becomes a hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that viewfinder that looks like a waist level finder from a Hasselblad or Bronica? The GSS I thought was a loupe and doesn't look like that. Maybe I'm missing something.
