Sigma Acquires Foveon

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Well this is mildly interesting. Foveon deserves our sympathy- she was so pretty and full of potential nearly a decade ago, but she started to hang out with bad company-  Sigma, maker of the kind of lenses you should use to prop a door open or use to send ants to a fiery hell.

Now she’s marrying Sigma… I feel sorry for Foveon- she had great promise. I guess I knew it was all going nowhere when Sigma was the first camera maker to implement Foveon’s sensor. If it was so great, surely Nikon or Canon would have used it.
