A trip to the Sigma museum

DPReview editors Dale Baskin and Richard Butler are currently in Japan covering the launch of the Sigma BF and the upcoming CP+ trade show . As part of the trip, they toured Sigma's factory in Aizu, Japan, where they discovered something special: a museum full of the company's products from the past several decades.

We've posted a mini museum tour on Instagram, which you can see below. It includes a look at some interesting pieces of photography history, including the Mark 1, Sigma's first SLR, produced in 1976, the SD9, the company's first digital camera and a showcase for the then-new Foveon X3 sensor and the first lens in Sigma's now-renowned Art lineup.

While we're at it, what's your favorite Sigma product from the past? Tell us in the comments!
