From: RichA on 12 Jun 2010 10:21 The Sigma cameras remind me of how the large corporation kept Howard Beal on the air in the movie "Network." The big corporation wanted him kept on the air (despite the fact he had poor ratings), to serve a greater purpose. Sigma sells lower-tier lenses and for some reason, they believe they need a kind of mascot for them, even thought that mascot doesn't sell on its own. Dpreview.
