趣味で写真を撮ってる韓国人です。シグマのレンズも使っており、自分が使ってるレンズがどうやって作られたか分かりました。精密工程の技術力以外にも意外と手作業が多くて驚きました。レンズ以外にも僕らが使ってるものを作ってくれる方々に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです！
Foarte profisional și calitatea maxima.
❤❤❤❤is amazing
I love how Sigma maximizes robotics for precision repeatability and (human crafts-men-women) to provide the highest possible quality at the lowest possible cost for said quality. The consumer really benefits here.
Why you thanks😹you giving money they not giving for free
@@user-xd2vk5ez7fhahaha 😂😂😂
I don’t think I’ll be questioning the prices of lenses again. I can see how complex the process is. It’s great that Sigma still produces the more affordable ones.
These are exactly my thoughts. The process is quite complex and the prices now look reasonable
this specific lens is 1,300 CAD
Ni yo
nah. You can get the same quality lenses for 2/3 or even 1/2 of the Japanese price when you get Sirui, Viltrox, or 7arrtisans
@@leetuu1474 most likely garbage and probable the reason i've never heard of these.
It's rare that a company actually provides such an insight into their production. As a photographer who loves sigma lenses this really is so interesting to watch - thank you for that!
It worked: now I want to buy one.
@@eastbaystreet1242 indeed :D
_It's rare that a company actually provides such an insight into their production._
None of the really sensitive trade-secrety stuff, (for instance, the specifics of their lens coatings), can be gleaned from here. 😊
Information about the coatings or materials can be easily optained through materialanalyses for most products. Processtechnology is a well hidden secret for most factorys, and that's for a good reason, since often times the problem is not "what" to produce, but "how", process wise. So If you are familiar with processes of this kind you get quiet alot of information.
I'm a fan of Sigma lens too. They are such a beauty. Here's a like!
Imagine the stress of being so perfect to hand paint the ft numbers. Mind blowing. Japan you are masters of anything you touch.
She is just filling / injecting the paint on the already engraved metal. She is not hand painting. Take it down a notch :D
Oh no, u ruined magic hahahaha@@Bengalurean1
Not American soil 😂
mf thinks the japanese are magical elves
Yes and no-they don't do it freehand-if you go back and look at the "Before and After" shot (freeze frame it) you'll see that the numbers are engraved and the workers "just" lays in the paint. This however still requires a Good hand.
The moment they print the "Make in Japan" on it is actually really touching! This as much a form of Art as it is technology.
Lenses are expensive, but seeing this gives me an extra appreciation for the love and labor put into making these fine optics. There are no bad lenses from Sigma, beautiful craftsmanship!
I have two Sony lenses that came with dust inside from the factory(probably zero affect on image quality), but my Sigma is spotless!
same thought here, quite incredible
@@taylorhickman84 Yeah I did notice the factory was a bit dusty in the first part of the video. Luckily you have no dust from your Sigma lens
@@taylorhickman84 jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj jjjj i i i i i i i i ohi i i i i i o
seriously? shame on sony. I have several nikon lenses, the cheapest is 200$, the most expensive is 4000$. all of them came completely spotless, without even a single spec of dust inside. @@taylorhickman84 My only sigma lens (24 1.4) came with a permanent spot on the rear lens element. I didnt bother to return it because it doesnt matter to me but still
When you watch this video, your opinion about prices of lenses totally changes! Thanks for sharing this, so interesting to see how much high precision work needs to be done to create a lens
3 dollars, take it or leave it
Not really, I buy my lenses second hand anyway as they are too expensive new
Sometimes I was thinking lenses are overpriced,not any more! Thanks to these people so we keep collecting memories! ❤
it's old school methods
まさか印字が手作業とは思わなかった。
しっかり丁寧に作られていて、シグマさんのこだわりを感じました。
手持ちのシグマレンズ、大切に使わせていただきます！
私はロシア出身ですが、そのような作品があったとは想像もできません。日本人は最も華麗な勤勉な人々です。私はあなただけの成功を願って、より頻繁に休みます。🎉
As a photographer myself, i love to see this.
This shows exactly why lenzes are expensive. A lot of work and precision goes in to them❤
私も15-30mmを使ってますが、ボディとの相性などの購入前相談を電話で応対してくれるお客を大切にしてくれる素晴らしい会社ですよ。数多い工程があり、技術スタッフさんの手造り品には感動しました。感謝の気持ちを持ち、今後使いたいですねー。
As a photographer who owns several Sigma lenses, this is very interesting and fun to watch. Thanks for the video 👍.
In the room at 7:12 in the video, it looks like they use compressed air to blow debris off the lens they are examining, onto an array of already-cleaned lenses. Maybe the lenses are cleaned for inspection and the lenses don't need to be clean for the next step.
残念ながら！ 私が購入したシグマ 2470F2.8 レンズは、まだ 2 ヶ月しか使用していないため、レンズ内にゴミが入っており、品質に疑問を感じます。
I just watched my Sigma 24-70 f2.8 lens get assembled. Simply incredible how the whole things starts from parts to a finished product. Love this video.
@@gmxi188Have you contacted Sigma Service? I‘m sure that they would take care of that, as you still have warranty on the lens.
@@EndoplasmicReticulum7 I contacted Sigma Shanghai, and they replied that dust in the lens would not affect the imaging, and that it could not be returned or exchanged. It could only be repaired, but the process would take 3 weeks. The gap between the current Japanese companies and the past is too big! !
Never had a problem with any Sigma lens and I can see why. The level of craftsmanship demonstrated here is superb
Yo tuve dos lentes Sigma con problemas de hongos, y la compañía no se hizo responsable. Eran lentes sellados para el clima.
🗿
@@javi-m Los lentes sellados para el clima no quiere decir que sean anti hongos, eso es imposible. Los hongos salen porque los tienes en un clima humedo y oscuro por mucho tiempo.
まさに僕が使っているレンズと同じもので感動しました。
これだけ多数の工程、多数の精密な作業を経て作られる素晴らしい製品を購入できることに感謝すべきだと実感しました。
すごい世界だと思いました。 1本のレンズ製作 ものすごい行程がかかっていることがわかります。
精密技術の塊ですね。 素晴らしい映像でした。感謝！
地元福島にこんな素晴らしい工場があることを誇りに思います。一本のレンズが完成されるまでの工程、一人一人の愛と技術が詰まっていて世界に誇れる技術に感動しました。ありがとうございます。SIGMA ARTシリーズは本当に最高品質です
Спасибо вам за ваш труд! Мне нравится пользоваться вашими линзами, у меня их три ! Скажите а кто поставляет оптическое стекло заводу? Спасибо.
Japan is a great country. Its businesses and government work for the benefit of its people. As a Chinese, I am very envious.❤
@@Woodlawn. China's development is tremendous. I'm Japanese, but I think there will come a time when Japan will import lenses made in China.
Greetings from Netherlands 🫶
@@user-ut3tq7ww6yлучше у лейтца и КарЛ 😊 цейса.
I respect Japanese ppl!, i do love thier hard working, the love for everything they do what make them specialists on what they doing, such a wonderful nation, we are glad you are with us!❤
There's a reason so many michelin starred restaurants are in Japan. When these people set their minds to something the dedication and attention to detail is impressive to say the least.
also, sadly, the Japanese people need to work a little less hard and start making some babies or else there will be no more Japanese people in several more generations.
It is wonderful to see how each and every machine and individual working in the process of making the lenses are all so harmonious, and the delicate care that everyone puts into the work they do. It is no wonder why Japanese goods are of such high quality and standards, for it shows in the love and pride in creating a product. This one particular company makes me want to be an ambassador for them.
The amount of care and labor you put into each of these lenses is phenomenal
Honestly it's surprising lenses don't cost more. What a thing of beauty.
better don't say it too loud...in present times everything going more expensive daily...
@@maxo1124 It's the end results of governments printing money out of thin air to keep up the welfare/warfare industrial complex going. This can only go on for so long before it ALL collapses like a house of cards, like all Ponzi schemes eventually collapse. Keep voting, I am sure things will change next time, LAMAO.
Chutttttt! 🤫🤫🤫🤫
@@maxo1124😂
exactly 🤣@@maxo1124
Most impresive is how this lady ( 12:30 ) paint letters by hand! Perfection!
I thought that too until I realise she is squirting ink into letter grooves already there. It looked too perfect to paint by hand.
Even so she must have very steady hands, I'm sure I couldn't do that. Y@@nivekov
It could be that they can perform these sophisticated handwork as they have a sensibility to manual operation.
the care and attention to detail is second to none the craftsmanship you get from Japan is the best in the world
A much more labour intensive process than I thought. Thank you Sigma for giving us high quality affordable options!
研磨は当然として板金、射出、切削のみならず表面処理まで内製化しているとは生産技術すごすぎる
作り手のプライドを感じるメーカーと思っていましたが、こんなに気持ちのこめられたものだったとは…
素晴らしい動画、ただただ感謝ですね！
Very insightful. Thank you so much for the video!
この様な動画を海外のチャンネルでも見るが、日本の工場は安心して見られるってのはスゴイなぁ～といつも思う。
これほど手間のかかる工程をえて、あの価格で手に入るのはすごすぎると思う。

日本製のレンズ、こうして作られていたのですね。手持ちのシグマ製レンズ、大切に使います。
作業されている方々素晴らしい製品をありがとう！
最後は感動したわッ😂😂😂。
画面を通して日本人の物づくりの心が伝わってくる感じがした。
Wow, this is such a rare opportunity to see how a company actually makes their amazing lenses. I'm a huge fan of sigma lenses and I always admire their quality and performance. This video is so fascinating and informative - thank you for sharing it with us!
The entire process is mind blowing, but the handwriting part (around 12:30) blew me away. I wasn't expecting an actual person doing such an incredible precise work.
The letters are imprinted in the metal, the worker uses runny paint to fill them in. Still an unexpected hand job.
Not precise just impressing for non technical people 😊
Filling the engravings with paint is easy as excessive product can be wiped away by hand more effectively as a machine could do it.
@@erikdenhouter That last statement reminds me of my younger years...
@@krisiluttinen Something most can relate to, but mostly not in the workplace 📸
1社の社内で全ての部品製造を完結させてるのが凄いと思います。
某大手メーカー各社は樹脂部品とか基盤は外注とかですからね。
プロセスXチャンネルは興味深いものが沢山ありますが、シグマさんのは個人的興味が一番高いものでしたので、じっくりと見させていただきました。
それにしても驚いたのはオートメーション化があまりなく、人の手が結構入っているところです。まさか文字入れも人の手が入っているのはびっくりしました。でも、この人の手が入るってことは、この場所に雇用が生まれ、経済が回るという、とてもとても良いことだと思います。それでもシグマのレンズはコスパが良いのは何故だろう。
昔はシグマのレンズは結構持っていましたが最近は純正ばかり。でも、これを見てまたシグマのレンズを買いたくなりました。
映像制作をしてくれましたプロセスXさん、そして何よりも、この映像許可を出してくれたシグマさんに感謝です！！！
😮😢😂
Я тоже очень удивился тому, что маркировка на фокусе пишется от руки😊
Sigma очень хорошо себя зарекомендовала в последнее время. Но Tamron пытается сквозь пот и слезы приблизится к уровню Сигмы.
Кстати я не очень увидел разницу сигмы и родных объективов в съёмке.
亏是中国没兴趣，不然让镜头也变成白菜价
Being a retied photographer i have never seen this, manufacturing in a beautiful way with hands on people not only machines 😀 fantastic work to all who make lens and cameras 👏 ❤

モノがモノだけに精密度が凄いし頻繁に人の手を介してるのも驚いた
しかもそこで一切傷をつけないというのが驚きでしかありません。
Brilliant video, I knew that automation was a huge part of lens creation, but I had no idea how much manual work took place, a truely great advertisment of the quality Sigma produce, i hope everyone involved is massively proud that the work on their products allows us to capture "life" in every aspect. Well done again guys, you really drive "made in Japan".
So much work comes into making lense. And here i am wondering why cant they be cheaper lol... How little i knew.
Thanks for sharing!
50mm DG DNを購入する決め手になる動画でした。
すごく手間が掛かっていて、価値がある商品とはこういうのを言うんですね。
あと、素人は絶対に分解しては駄目なことがよくわかります😂
眼鏡屋してるカメラ好きな僕ですが知ってるメーカーの機械出たりレンズ削ってる工程見るとなんとなく親近感湧きますね…
そんなことよりSIGMAさんいつもありがとうございます。
すばらしい動画でした。撮影や編集のリズムに加え製造工程の高品質・高精度製品を生み出すための徹底した効率化。BGMも良い効果でまるで美しいダンスを見ているようでした！😃😍😂
Завораживает! Вот это автоматизация и приспособления для сборки! Мало того что надо придумать конструкцию, так еще надо придумать линию под это! Теперь понятно, почему эта продукция столько стоит. Молодцы! 👍👏
не проще лес и нефть гнать на импорт
Рисует шкалу тупо руками.
カメラレンズは高額ですが、この動画を見て納得しました。レンズを造るマシンを造る会社も凄いですね、設備だけでも相当な投資ですね
でもシグマさんのレンズは純正などよりも安いですがもう少し高くても良いかもしれませんね
これをTH-camで見られるなんて幸せ。
自分には不向きな仕事を淡々と素早く正確にこなせるの本当に尊敬する。
会津の人は凄いですね。
シグマは若いころ本当にお世話になったレンズメーカーで、貧乏学生にとても心強い存在でした。メーカー純正品では高すぎて手の届かない超広角単焦点レンズやフィッシュアイがお手頃価格でラインナップされていたのが自分には特に魅力で、ひとつづつ特殊レンズを手に入れて楽しんでいたものです。中野の某有名カメラ屋で360フィッシュがかなりの特売価格で売られているのを見つけ、飛び上がって喜んだのもいい思い出です。
正直言うと安価なレンズメーカーということもあり、コストダウンの塊みたいなところもあるのかなと思っていました。ですが動画で見られる一連の作業からはむしろ逆の印象で、驚きとともに、僕の思い入れの深いレンズたちがこんなに誠実な環境から送り出されていたことが本当にうれしく思います。
Quite nice to see how they make these lenses. Now I can way more apreciate the build quality of my zoom lenses having seen this.
Sigma Art series are some of the best lenses out there :) Even 10 years old art series lens is still beating recent competitor lenses and easily handle 30+ megapixel sensors. After seeing the craftmanship that take place in this factory, it is even more impressive. thank you for this excellent and educational video!
Depends though. I have a somewhat older 35mm 1.4 lens from Sigma and it's considerably softer than recent 35mm lenses.
I have a bag full of art lenses. They are beautiful. Better than my Canons.
The new mounting systems changed the whole game, because lenses can now be mounted closer to the sensor, which means more sharpness and less corrections needed for the issues that arise from mounting the lens further from the sensor. So while lenses can be tack sharp even with the old mounting system, the fact is that the new mounting system is miles better for lens quality. This also means they don't have to craft lenses as high of quality as previously. So technically older lenses are crafted better, but they perform worse because of all the issues that arise from the mounting distance.
１年に５，６本くらいレンズ買ってるカメラ好きですが、これだけの工程を経ているとは知らず。
もっとレンズに感謝して使うべきだと思わされました。
Огромное спасибо группе операторов и создателей фильма, а так же главным героям - работникам производства. Огромное спасибо за ваш труд.
Я теперь ещё больше полюбил свою линзу.
После этого видео я окончательно решил купить 85mm 1.4 DN art FE...
Wow! I dont know what is more impressive,the lenses or the machinery to make the lenses. The most impressive, however is the person hand painting the numbers.
Absolutely amazing. Thanks for the film.
Kinda surprised they showed this much of their process. Both the final assembly and the skill was impressive. Also, was she hand writing the dial 😱
She was just filling in the paint on the embedded letters/numbers.
"just" does not pay it justice ... Look at the speed and no a single "mini spill" ... And repeat that thousand times .... @@yummm8775
just do it bro, start your own lens manufacturing company
WHat?@@Waldo-Manfred
You can be sure they had clear instructions on what could be filmed and what could not. They wern't giving much away on the lens grinding process.
The men that designed and made all of these machines are amazing
Sigma 105mm F1.4. Greatest lens ever made.
I can't believe how deftly they attach those screws. That whole process was fascinating
i had no idea the letters were handwritten. that is some skill.
(As someone else mentioned already) The letters are already engraved. The manual work is only letting white paint flow into the recessed engraved letters. This still requires skill and good eye-hand coordination, but it isn't free-hand painting that you see here.
From now on I will treat my lenses with a lot of respect and love. This is a lot. Well done Sigma for giving us an insight into how your fine optics are made.
You weren't doing that from before?! 😱
@@g00nther NOT SO MUCH
素晴らしい工程です。 感動しました。
I especially liked the final QC check, where each lens is mounted on a camera and tested for focus sharpness, vignetting, and chromatic abberations before being boxed and shipped.
The feel of a high quality camera body and lens in your hand is part of the joy of photography, just as much as seeing the finished image emerge from post-processing.
Do you really think they test every lens before they leave the factory?
@@BigKelvParkNot these lenses. But more expensive ones are tested each one separately
One of the best and most complicated process shown on this channel. 👍
Thank you. This has given me a greater appreciation for the work that goes into making a great lens and why they can be expensive. Great work to the film maker and especially to Sigma for showing the process.
So relaxing… but I like how Sigma filmed different parts of different lens ranges (from photography to their cine range 😍
もっとオートメーション化されてるのかと思ってましたが、予想外に人の手で造られているのですね。すばらしいです。
SigmaのArtレンズ4本あります。いずれも純正最高位レンズにひけをとらない素晴らしい画を実現してくれます。今後も頑張ってほしいです。
да, тоже думал, что этот процесс полностоью автоматизирован, а оказалось, что сотни человеческих рук в деле! :)
I loved the video. Of the process of creating the lens, the one that fascinated me the most is the lady applying it... manually the white color of the numbers on the scale (12:30). Fantastic. What precision (!!!)
These jobs are amazingly focus-intense. Thank you to all the people who work so hard, and in clean room conditions, to give me my moments of joy when using my Sigma lenses.
Thank you sigma for this beautiful insight of making the lenses, much effort are out together to get us those great lenses ❤
人の手が加わるモノをつくる工程は見ていて飽きないものですね。素材からひたすら丁寧にやがて完璧な姿になる。面白い…
こんなに奇跡の連続で作られてるとは。。。すごすぎる。尊敬します。大切に使わせてもらってます。これからも素晴らしい製品をよろしくお願いします！！！
At 2:08 the handling system sounds like R2D2😂 Thank you for these great videos. As an production engineer I can watch them all day long👏🏼
Que hermoso es ver lo que los seres humanos somos capaces de hacer y los trabajos tan interesantes que hay en los países más desarrollados...
Very interesting to see they do their own SMT assembly. I would have imagined this is something a company like Sigma outsources as it is not their core business.
I am surprised how many human hands are involved in the process of producing a lens, I always thought it would be way more automated. Beautiful! I appreciate my Sigma lenses now even more.
I agree!
This is the Japanese approach to high quality production.
台湾、中国製はもっと工業化されているらしいですが、人手を使わないと最終精度に差が出るそうです。これが日本の技術です
Same!
@@yamashin9971 I like your approach to high quality production.
S Korea doe it very highly automated where Japanese hands show their skills.
(from Germany)
I think Sigma is the only lens company out there that are proud and open about their manufacturing process.
Having just bought a Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG Art lens, watching this gave a lot of satisfaction. What impresses me the most, is the machines which are designed and produced for factories to make the products. I would love to watch a video of that process.
シグマさんには制作情報をたくさん共有していただき感謝に値します。
シグマは純正レンズの１/２くらいの値段で買えて、尚且つどのメーカーでも互換性があるのでおすすめです。
私はタムロンよりシグマ派です。
What amazing and beautiful manufacturing skills are shown here…. 👍 Thanks for posting
wow, unbelievable how complicated and precise processes happened there!!
good work japanese... 👌👌👍👍

14:46, so that's how OSS works! Those magnets on the lens carrier are coupled with the coils on the pcb previously in the video. They create an acoustic motor. Neat!
Получила удовольствие от просмотра! Впечатлил процесс изготовления👍
Thank you for documenting this process so nicely for all of us "end users" ... !!! The precision both for the automatic and semi-automatic as well as manual steps are impressive. The speed of all manual assembly steps is a pure pleasure to watch. You get what you pay for !! Arigato.
I have a Sigma 18-35mm ART. It’s absolutely stunning. Thank you Sigma for creating such works of art!
I'm speechless! A Sigma 60 - 600 is my first non-Canon lens. I already loved it. Now I'm in awe! ❤
Big respect to the Japanese people! Highest quality!!
The milling finish on those aluminium cylinders is absolutely divine!
That was so beautiful, I could cry. Thank you for sharing this.
大切なレンズの製造工程、終始ハラハラドキドキしながら見せていただきました
Very interesting to see very talented, skilled people working with their sophisticated machinery to make fine optical lenses. Thank you.
いやあ素晴らしい。
フィルムカメラ時代にはよく写真を撮っていましたので、興味深く見させていていただきました。現場の音と、それを邪魔しないバックミュージックが良いですね。無駄なナレーションもなく、いつまでも見ていられます。
作業される方々の手つきがすごく丁寧で、製品と仕事に誇りと愛着を持っいるのが感じられました。
感動しました。
The depth of the production processes is very impressive and the value stream is showing a lot of manual operation. Thank you for sharing these insights! I own 3 Sigma Lenses and I love them. Looking forward to buy the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 Sony E Mount
Woow grossen Respekt an Sigma!❤ bitte weiter so! Einfach grossartige Qualität und die Leistung aller Mitarbeitern!
