Sigma BF
Most cameras are drab, dial-laden, utilitarian affairs that prize function over form. And then there’s the Sigma BF. Milled from a single block of aluminium and practically devoid of any controls, it’s the sort of thing you’d expect to find in a secretive engineering lab at Apple HQ. But while its simple lines and clutter-free appearance suggest a barebones experience, its credentials are anything but. A 24MP full-frame sensor diligently captures fine details, with 6K video recording thrown in for good measure. Available in black or silver, it won’t appeal to traditional photographers used to having all manner of physical gubbins to prod and spin under their thumbs, but its intuitive controls and design should be applauded all the same.
