PetapPixel wrote an interesting article about the state of the L-mount alliance. In very short these are the good and bad things:

Strengths: Gigantic library of lenses, five full-frame cameras, excellent mix of image capture disciplines represented, power in numbers.

Weaknesses: Marketing, lack of phase detection, price points feel too high

* Sigma fp is the basis for the future of camera at Sigma
* Sigma doesn’t want to impose his view on how to use the Sigma fp
* In the future, Sigma thinks that all cameras will no longer use a mechanical shutter
* The most important characteristics of the Sigma fp is compactness and high quality images
* Sigma Foveon FF camera is late because of issues with the sensor design and manufacturing delay from vendors
* Sigma wants to differentiate itself from other competitors with Foveon sensor.
* They are building a new building at Aizu factory to improve the manufacturing process, not increasing the production capabilities
* Yamaki-san thinks there needs to be more lenses for the L-mount system
* In terms of market share, Sigma is not satisfied by the L-Mount Alliance. But according to Kazuto Yamaki it is still too early to draw conclusions. There needs to be 3 to 4 years after the launch to assess the results L-rumors
* Kazuto Yamaki is satisfied by the diversity of lenses and cameras offered by the members of the L-Mount Alliance.

The latest Cipa reports contains some very worrisome data: The system camera market dropped by 19%. The system camera market sales were down 11% in terms of units sold and by 19% in terms of value. The rest of the year will be even worse due the effect of the Coronavirus outbreak.

Panasonic-Leica-Sigma might slow down their product release cycle because of that 🙁
