- [Publication date] December 6, Heisei 20 (2018.12.6)
- Image processing signal method, image signal processing apparatus, imaging apparatus
Each pixel has two layers of “B and G” or “G and R” as shown in a figure of embodiment.
We will sure see some improvements in low -light performance and readout speed of Sigma sensor, as we all know Foveon sensor are too good at base ISO but when you reach ISO 400 you can notice noise in your image and even ISO 1600 is bit unacceptable from a Foveon sensor. To solve this issue Sigma removed a layer from sensor and rearranged entire pixel structure. Hope to see some good cameras from Sigma in near future.

Now let’s talk about latest Tamron patent, Tamorin is working on 100-400mm F2.6-F8.3 for M4/3 sensor. After looking at the aperture range I am bit surprised, having a 8.3 aperture at 400mm end isn’t so normal and you need to have vast amount of light to get clear shots with your lens. But before we begin, I must tell you that I am not impressed with the aperture range of upcoming Tamron 100-400mm lens for M4/3 camera.

Patent Details of Sigma Anti Reflection Coating
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antireflection film having low reflectance in a wide wavelength range of visible light to a substrate having various productivity and various refractive indices.
SOLUTION: This antireflection film is formed by laminating in order a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, a fourth layer, a fifth layer and a sixth layer from the side of the substrate in this order, A high refractive index material having an optical film thickness of one layer of 0.045λ or more and 0.971λ or less, the second layer has a low refractive index material with an optical thickness of 0.025λ or more and 0.166λ or less, The third layer has a high refractive index material with an optical thickness of 0.038λ or more and 0.375λ or less and the fourth layer has a low refractive index material with an optical thickness of 0.048λ or more and 0.152λ or less , The optical film thickness of the fifth layer is 0.045λ or more and 0.119λ or less, the optical film thickness of the sixth layer is 0.228λ or more and 0.331λ or less, and the refractive index is And is an ultra-low refractive index material having a refractive index of 1.10 or more and 1.30 or less.

On Sep 26, 2006 Sigma announced the 18-50mm F2.8 (Amazon | B&H) lens for APS-C DSLRs. After that they announce 17-50mm F2.8 lens (B&H | Amazon) on Feb 10, 2010 as a successor of 18-50mm F2.8 lens with IS and improved optics.
Now, a new patent surfaced over the web that shows new version of Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 Lens with IS.
Take a look at the patent details below
SIGMA filed patent of 18-50 mm F2.8 for APS-C sensor with very short back focus.
This patent may be for one of new dp/DPs.

【公開日】平成29年11月30日(2017.11.30)
【発明の名称】大口径防振付きズームレンズ
Specification and lens arrangement of embodiment 1
Focal length: 17.55 – 48.47 mm
F No.: 2.92
2ω: 81.42 – 32.32
Image height: 13.49 – 14.20 mm
Back focus: 1.0000 – 22.4957 mm
Lens length: 126.29 – 166.99 mm
If a true successor of 18-50mm F2.8 is coming After 10 years of Gap we do expect a lot of improvement in optics, AF speed, IS and overall performance of the upcoming Sigma APS-C lens.
We will update you soon as we get any new information. Also see Sigma new Foveon image sensor patent.

Sigma filed a patent of 12mm F1.4 for m4/3 lens.It’s a good news for M4/3 owners that Sigma is finally taking interest in M4/3 systems cameras. In Future we do expect ART series lenses dedicated for M4/3 system cameras.
Also take a look at the translated text from Sigma
FT san suggests that the embodiment 1 is same to “LEICA DG SUMMILUX 12mm / F1.4 ASPH” of Panasonic. That’s optical formula of both the lenses look exactly same.
