This week on the PetaPixel Podcast, Sigma’s CEO Kazuto Yamaki sits down with Chris Niccolls to talk about the newly-announced lenses, the Sigma BF camera, and — of course — the state of the full-frame Foveon sensor.

The innovative Haukland Parka Pro 7-in-1 jacket consists of three jacket layers that can be worn in seven different ways, offering great versatility and comfort in changing and harsh weather conditions. It’s warm, durable, and the PetaPixel team relies on them to keep them warm — and that comes in especially useful during the harsh, brutal winters of Calgary, Alberta.

Yamaki took a few minutes out of his extremely busy schedule (on the launch day of the Sigma BF, no less) to chat with Chris Niccolls about the new camera’s design, the future camera endeavors Sigma is considering, the state of the development of the Foveon sensor, and much more. Yamaki is one of the most welcoming, friendly, and easy to talk to executives in the camera industry and he honestly answers even the most difficult questions.
