The Sigma Corporation (CEO: Kazuto Yamaki) is pleased to announce that Sigma BF, Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports, and Sigma 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary have won TIPA World Awards 2025.
Sigma BF
Name of Award: BEST PREMIUM CAMERA
Citation: While many of today’s camera offerings sport multiple buttons and dials needed to access extensive and often complicated menus, the Sigma BF stands apart in a way that makes it radically simple. It begins with the design, a unibody construction carved from an aluminum ingot, a highly attractive look that will surely turn heads. The simplicity is reinforced by the camera controls–three buttons, one dial, the shutter release and the power button–which enable easy operation of the shutter speed, aperture, ISO sensitivity, EV compensation and color mode. Notably, it does not have a memory card slot, and internally stores up to 230GB of data, exportable via a USB-C port.

Sigma 300-600mm F4 DG OS | Sports
Name of Award: BEST PROFESSIONAL TELEPHOTO LENS
Citation: This high-performance telephoto zoom lens is ideal for wildlife, sports, and action photography, offering both versatility and excellent image quality. Its High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) delivers fast, quiet autofocus, crucial for quick changing action, while its optical design delivers the unparalleled performance of a prime lens. Built with robust, dust- and splash-resistant structure, it can withstand harsh environments, while its 5.5 stops* of optical stabilization at 600mm helps minimize shake under any sort of tough shooting conditions. It also sports a function ring that can be set for a Focus Preset or Power Focus, the latter ideal for video by providing smooth focus shifts at a constant speed.
