I'm holding what appears to be a metal ingot in my hands. Not just any ingot, mind you, but one that's been painstakingly milled for seven hours from a single block of aluminium. It's angular and minimalist with just enough subtle contours to remind you it was designed for photography, not sculpture.
This is the Sigma BF , and I'm already making a fool of myself over it. This was me three weeks ago, now it's been what? 21 days and I'm still pretty much drooling over how foolishly gorgeous the BF is, and while I mostly have my thoughts in place by now for every other thing I have to try out and write about, this time I don't. Delhi's scorching heat has me sweating, but I had to do what I had to.
So, I went out a couple of days to shoot around the city, and even though it was tough going around handling a metal block in 35 degrees, I felt damn good at the end of the day. But why so? Am I just caught up in the honeymoon phase, or is there substance behind this obsession? Well, let me explain. And consider this more of an extended first impression—some relationships just need a bit more time to unfold.
To be simple is not easy I know what you are thinking, like why would anyone name anything "beautiful foolishness," and if you have given this some thought, you'd think it's the design, just as I did. But, Sigma is onto something profound. There's a certain idiocy to creating a $2,000 camera with no with just just a 3.
