Anyhow, the MC21 still has long road to go, but actually it is usable for stills photography with Sigma lenses. I have a Metabones IV for Sony, which is brutally awesome adapter, it drives EF lenses as if they were native FE lenses. The MC21 adapter is definitely in its very early stage of development, I would call its firmware as an early BETA product, so I guess in a year or so it is going to be more or less complete. Here is my A5100 with the brilliantly small Sony 24f1.4G as comparison. Later I removed the fake grip gizmo, I love cameras as gripless as possible even with gigantic lenses like the Canon 100400L. The fp body looked a premium camera with a nice heft, not big at all but not minuscule either, just a perfect size. I love learning camera systems, to learn to use them as efficiently as it was designed by the engineers. During the past couple of days I visited a Panasonic showroom to experiment with S1, S1R, S1H, too. I am pretty brand agnostic, I started with Nikon V1, J5, then Sony A7, A5100, A9, Nikon Df, Fujifilm X-A1, Canon EOS R, Panasonic FZ2500. I came to the showroom to pick some Sigma lenses for my and my daughter's Sony cameras, but I took the chance to have fun with the fp, which I loved immediately. Each camera has specific strengths that will appeal to different users.I spent several hours in a Sigma showroom and I had a chance to experiment with the Sigma fp with the help of the Sigma specialist who was quite an experienced and smart guy. The fp L joins the fp in our family of full-frame, mirrorless cameras, and is considered a companion to the fp.
#SIGMA FP L FIRST IMPRESSIONS UPDATE#
However, a firmware update - tentatively scheduled for summer 2021 - will be required for compatibility. However, compatibility will require updated firmware update from Atomos and Blackmagic, so this may not be available immediately upon release. Atomos and Blackmagic recorders will be supported by SIGMA just like the fp. Will Atomos and Blackmagic recorders support the fp L? The fp L will transfer both power and video data through the USB-C cable, so there is no need for an external power solution, provided the USB-C port on the computer supplies enough power. When I use the fp L as a webcam, will I still need to use a battery or external power supply? This will prove useful in filmmaking where it may be necessary to cover different formats from movie, television, smartphones, etc. With the supported custom frame lines, you can add a specific aspect ratio or absolute pixel dimensions. In addition to providing support for additional cine cameras, the fp L also allows users to create custom frame lines when shooting with different aspect ratios in mind.
#SIGMA FP L FIRST IMPRESSIONS CODE#
You can also load a screenshotted QR code from the fp L’s memory card to restore settings easily and quickly. It can also be used to quickly capture the QR code for the save/load feature built into the camera. This feature can be used to quickly grab screen information to share, remember how your camera was setup, or provide a quick way to share metadata from an image. Quickly take a screenshot of your fp L screen by pressing the display button and center pad button at the same time.

24p is the cine standard frame rate, while 23.98 is a broadcast standard. The fp L is now able to record video in true 24p along with 23.98.
