ABOUT [zaɪ̯n] SEIN

Since SIGMA’s foundation in 1961, we have continued to create inimitable products with our own unique production techniques.

SEIN is a quarterly magazine we started in 2014 to share news about our products and thoughts and ideas on photography more directly with the customers and photography enthusiasts who have supported our products over many years.

Met with requests from all over the world, we re-launched SEIN as an online magazine in 2018. SEIN Online will offer an even larger variety of articles and viewpoints to an even bigger audience than during its existence as a print magazine.The title “SEIN” was inspired by the German word for “to be”. We would be very happy if our new SEIN magazine continued to grow and connect us with our customers all around the world.
