Scenes from 2025

Last year’s New York pop-up (see below) was a modest event allowing visitors to connect, learn, and get hands-on with very limited Sigma gear.

Our 2026 pop-up is completely NEW with a fresh design, a larger selection of lenses and BF cameras to browse, plus multiple workshops and shooting opportunities. Even if you visited last year, please drop by again… you’ll definitely find more to enjoy.

About

SIGMA America

Sigma is a Japanese manufacturer of photographic lenses and cameras. Our production is based entirely in Japan, with our headquarters in Kanagawa and our factory in Aizu, Fukushima. We have been a family-owned company since our founding by Michihiro Yamaki in 1961. Today, Sigma is managed by his son, Kazuto Yamaki. It is this independence that allows us to explore different approaches and pursue our ideal of craftsmanship.
