Prominent Characteristics of Sigma Cine Lenses

-Individual inspection of every single lens with A1 proprietary Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) measuring system using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable high-frequency details are now within the scope of their quality control inspections.
-Computer-based ray tracing has been used from the design stage onward to minimize flare and ghosting and enhance contrast in backlit conditions. Ghosting has also been checked at every prototype stage, with its causes identified, assessed and eliminated.
-Color balance standardized across the line to make color correction a breeze.
-Dust-proof and splash-proof construction, with each ring and mount sealed to prevent water and dust from entering.
-The body is made 100% of metal to stand up to tough professional use over the long term.
-Luminous paint for enhanced visibility
-Laser engraving for enhanced durability
-Mount Conversion Service allows users to convert their lenses to and from EF and E-mounts (charges apply). If the camera system changes, it is possible to simply convert the mount system to continue using the high-performance Sigma lenses.
