‘Our goal is to provide more freedom for photographers to select new camera bodies without the worry of having to discard their lens collection,’ states Sigma’s UK website.
‘Sigma wants to help you keep those lenses for a long time no matter what camera system you’re using, and can now change the mount of your lens by adjusting it to fit a change in your desired camera system.’
It will not be possible to convert to a mount that Sigma has not release, adds the firm which says it will release further details shortly.
Sigma has not yet indicated how much the service, which is due to be launched on 2 September, is likely to cost.
