Features a 6.9 times magnification zoom ratio. Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new 18-125mm F3.5-5.6 DC. This zoom lens was exclusively designed for use with digital SLRs with the popular APS-C sensor. This latest lens from Sigma`s DC range has a 6.9 times magnification zoom ratio. The image circle is designed to match the size of the image sensor of digital SLR cameras resulting in a surprisingly compact and lightweight superzoom lens. A Special Low Dispersion (SLD) lens and two aspherical glass elements produce a high level of optical performance through the entire zoom range. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm (19.6”) at all focal lengths and is equipped with an inner focusing system. The non – rotating front element makes the lens particularly suitable for using the petal-shaped lens hood (supplied) and circular polarizing filters. The lens is equipped with a zoom lock which eliminates “Zoom Creep”. * Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras.

  • Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey
    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

  • Communiqué De Presse
    Communiqué de presse « L-Mount Alliance » : coopération stratégique entre Leica Camera, Panasonic et Sigma Cologne, le 25 septembre 2018 . Un jour avant le lancement officiel de la photokina 2018, Leica Camera AG, Panasonic et Sigma ont annoncé leur partenariat stratégique dans le cadre de la conférence de presse de l’entreprise. La « L-Mount Alliance » (alliance de la monture L), une coopération de type inédit, s'avérera très bénéfique, notamment pour les clients des trois sociétés. Elle permet à Panasonic et à Sigma de mettre la technologie de la monture L développée par Leica au service de leurs propres développements et de proposer également leurs appareils photo et leurs optiques avec cette monture. Les trois partenaires ayant mis leurs efforts en commun, cette alliance va largement contribuer à l’importance de cette technologie dans le monde de la photographie. Étant donné leurs nombreux composants interchangeables, les appareils photo s’utilisent de manière extrêmement flexible et peuvent être configurés selon les exigences de chacun. C'est la baïonnette qui constitue l’interface la plus importante puisque l’objectif joue un rôle déterminant sur le rendu des détails et donc sur la qualité d’image. Le partenariat stratégique entre Leica, Panasonic et Sigma va désormais permettre aux clients d’avoir recours à un plus large choix d'appareils photo et d’objectifs sans devoir opter pour un fabricant particulier comme c’était le cas jusqu’à présent. Dr Andreas Kaufmann, Président du conseil de surveillance et actionnaire principal de Leica Camera AG, déclare : « Pour les photographes, il est fondamental d'avoir un vaste choix pour leur système préféré.

  • Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products
    Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed ‘chemSHERPA’ [kémʃéərpə] as a new information transfer scheme for chemicals in products throughout their supply chains. METI hopes that the dissemination of chemSHERPA may contribute to reduce the workload of both providers and recipients of the information. From the beginning of the development of chemSHERPA, METI has been in communication with international bodies such as the IEC and the IPC, etc., with the aim of developing chemSHERPA into not only a Japanese standard but also an International standard. To make it a de-facto standard, METI has introduced this scheme to international organizations and governments of other countries for their active use. The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) is a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and see a shift to chemSHERPA. We believe many companies are preparing towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with JAMP and companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains as needed.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.) It should be noted, the use of the provision of data entry support tools is free of charge in principle with the aim of promoting wider use of chemSHERPA.

Accordingly JAMP has a plan to finish renewing the substances list in the existing JAMP scheme by the end of March of 2018. We believe many companies will begin advance preparations towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.)
