Sigma’s minimalist BF camera might be available in short supply.

That’s according to PetaPixel, which during a tour of Sigma’s Japanese HQ, was told that making the Sigma BF’s aluminum housing requires seven hours of milling by two machines. That amounts to a production output of about nine cameras per day.

Sigma also said it’s been manufacturing BF cameras for the last five months. Given the camera’s not officially out until April, PetaPixel estimates it could have around just 2,000 units available at launch.
