Sigma fp Mirrorless Digital Camera Announced!:
As some of you know, I use a SL, so I am a huge L mount fan. I was so happy to hear about the Sigma fp when it was originally rumored. Now, it is finally announced. At $1,899, the price is decent as well considering it’s full frame, and it’s so compact! You can get the kit with the awesome 45mm f2.8 for $2,199, and save yourself $249 in the process. It’s a great lens, I reviewed it here.
