(Update) Anschlussproblematik mit SIGMA Objektiven und der Pentax K-1

Thank you for purchasing and using our products.

 

We would like to inform you of our policy on the repair service that we announced on May 11th, regarding the use of Pentax mount SIGMA interchangeable lenses when attached to the “Pentax K-1”. 

 

For customers using our interchangeable lenses with aforementioned camera body, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please find the following details for the phenomenon and products;

 

【Phenomenon】

When some SIGMA interchangeable lenses for Pentax mount are attached to the PENTAX K-1, the upper part of the mount can be scratched.

※This phenomenon is due to the interference with the shape of the upper part of the mount on the PENTAX K-1 camera body and it does not occur to any cameras other than PENTAX K-1.
