Tippett's landscape photography using the FP is consistently beautiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Hi Ronald Weissman, Take a look here Sigma fp L on the way?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
verwackelt Posted February 25, 2021 Share #22 Posted February 25, 2021 Shouldn't the FP-L be presented today? Has someone heard something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an SL2, but I find myself using the fp much more, both for its size and handling (which I actually really like, with a grip and the "viewfinder" especially), but also image quality, which I think is very underrated. I don't own an fp (I shoot almost only film), but I follow this thread because I'm amazed by the image quality of the camera. I, too, prefer it to the SL2's photos, even perhaps to the M10's, which I do I have. A Sigma is almost certainly in my future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
agfa100 Posted March 7, 2021 Share #24 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I am also one who plans on using a fp for stills. I just received my fp and I am playing with it but I have been using it for a day and I am quite impressed with the color space right out of the camera. No pic's worth showing at this time, I have a grip coming and I have found out that I will need the Sigma viewfinder/loupe so that will be the next item I order. I have a friend that has sl2's and a fp and he also says the color is better and the low light is better, time will tell. I have a number of M lenses and older screw mt lenses I will be playing with plus a couple of Sigma lenses 15, 20,50macro, and a 105 macro I also just got a MC-21 for them. Wish me luck!

sobkrates Posted March 12, 2021 Share #25 Posted March 12, 2021 Some new rumors about the Sigma FP-L. Shoud be announced next week (L-rumors). And some interesting rumors about the sensor can be found here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
verwackelt Posted March 13, 2021 Share #26 Posted March 13, 2021 I am curious too… And "a large eyecup" could mean a real good EVF…https://www.l-rumors.com/sigma-also-registered-a-list-of-fp-l-accessories/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted March 18, 2021 Share #27 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) From the Nokoshita twitter feed. Looks like the Sigma fp L will be able to take a new EVF accessory. I suspect it's a new version of the body because the old one couldn't handle this EVF as an attachment. Difficult to tell what the VC-07A is though. Looks like an eyecup of some sort. Edited March 18, 2021 by LocalHero1953 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
verwackelt Posted March 18, 2021 Share #28 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) But it looks more like a prototype that the designer had not have in their department yet. Why ends it at the lower thirds of the body? would´nt it be much better to end flush with the undersite of the body? I can see no mechanical shutter and better grip either. Hmmmm..... have to wait for official pictures and specs. Any price published? Edited March 18, 2021 by verwackelt Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping I could move my custom made hand grip to the new body... seems hopeful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardC Posted March 18, 2021 Share #30 Posted March 18, 2021 Looks like it works off the camera's HDMI plug. They don't show the other side, but I imagine there are HDMI and USB plugs on the VF. The two extra pins must be power (there are no power pins in HDMI). I will probably upgrade, especially if they support 10-bit log over HDMI.

BlueIn2Red Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share #31 Posted March 18, 2021 Looks like the fp L is the same body as the fp, so that confirms no IBIS, which will mean a no for me if it really is a significantly higher resolution sensor (which I don't want anyway to be honest). On the positive side, looks like the new EVF will work with the original fp (form factor wise at least). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted March 19, 2021 Share #32 Posted March 19, 2021 Hope the evf is backward compatible. That was the main reason why i didnt fully commit to the fp Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simone_DF Posted March 19, 2021 Share #35 Posted March 19, 2021 From the photos, it looks like the EVF can tilt. That's a nice feature to have. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted March 19, 2021 Share #36 Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) From the look of the EVF connector it will not be backwards compatible - the current fp has a multipin socket used by the hotshoe module - unless the two pins in the EVF module line up with the multipin socket - which would be practical if a bit clunky. This EVF has no hotshoe, so it is not clear how you add one to the fp L. I use the hotshoe module as way to mount a wireless mic receiver and SSD holder. You can't just add the hotshoe module outboard of the EVF module - the bolt holes are in different places. Maybe they'll make a new hotshoe module to bolt on.....somewhere. (I quite like Sigma's Heath Robinson approach to cameras). The whole thing begs the question: why didn't they think of an EVF module for the original fp, and save themselves the R&D costs and confusion of two (perhaps) similar bodies. I use the fp on a tripod for video, and my plans for mobile use in future involve an external monitor, so this is probably not for me. It looks intended to attract stills shooters....who don't use flash. Edited March 19, 2021 by LocalHero1953 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be nicer if they had found a way to led the plug through the full height evf instead of shorten it so ugly Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you see it like that - it looks instead to me like it all lines up perfectly. USB-C, HDMI and the multipin thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB-C, HDMI and the multipin thing. Well, we'll see - we're just interpreting a few photos. The fp socket and hotshoe module have six pins. As far as I can tell from the images all the connectors on the EVF module line up with the fp, but it wouldn't be design elegance, and that could be just because it was easier than redesigning the fp body shell entirely (the fp 6-pin socket is set in a removable cover). If they're backwards compatible it then begs the question - how is the fp L different from the fp? We'll find out next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
verwackelt Posted March 19, 2021 Share #40 Posted March 19, 2021 All the rumors on the www predicted a mechanical shutter and IBIS. After seeing the pictures I fear that this is not true. I can't see a ms and the body doesn't seem to have gotten any bigger, so I suspect no IBIS ... But next week we will probably know more ...
