Product information

All our shipments are fully insured. For shipments valued over $150, a direct signature will be required upon delivery.

We utilize various shipping carriers, with FedEx Express being our primary choice for 2-Day and Overnight shipping within the US, as well as International deliveries.

We accept returns within 14 days of delivery, subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. This fee is not for profit, but to cover the costs associated with selling an item. Each return is evaluated individually, and we strive to minimize this fee. In many instances, we waive it entirely if the refund credit can be applied towards another item in the store.

Please note, all returned items must be in the condition in which they were shipped. If the items are returned in a different condition, we will not be able to accept them.

We highly recommend visiting us in person to experience our fine photographic tools before deciding which tool best fits your needs. Please note that our inventory is distributed among our three stores, and what you see online may be at any of these locations. Below are a few points that we’d like to make in order to meet your needs for in store pick up.

The location of each item is indicated online. For convenience, you can choose to pick up your item at any of our stores. Once purchased, the item should be ready for pick up within 4 hours at the designated store, although this might vary depending on the store's busyness and time of day. We request that you wait for a notification from us confirming that your order is ready for pick up, to ensure the best service.

If your chosen item is not available at your preferred store, we can transfer it there after purchase. If you want to pick up an item at a different store, select that store for pick up during checkout, or choose a regular shipping method and let us know your preferred pick up store via support@camerawest.com or by responding to your order confirmation email.

For any questions about in-store pick up, please email support@camerawest.com. We'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

We offer a concierge trade-in program for the gear you'd like to upgrade, cross-grade, or simply pass on to a new owner. This enables you to acquire the tools that fit your specific needs. The easiest way to trade is to bring your gear into one of our stores and meet with us in person. However, we also accommodate those who can't visit our stores. Our online process is both personal and simple.

To begin, fill out the form on our Trade // Sell page with the details of the fine photographic equipment or watches you'd like to trade in. One of our team members will then contact you to confirm any details we might need for an accurate estimate. We will provide an estimate that doesn’t only look at the value of your trade in but the whole picture of where you want to go. If the estimate is satisfactory to you, we can provide a shipping label for you to ship your gear to one of our stores for a final inspection and store credit. Finally, we apply that credit towards your new gear!

RADICAL SIMPLICITY

The Sigma BF’s most important feature is its simplicity. We wanted to create the easiest camera to use, inspired by the humble beginnings of the camera obscura. While the lens remains the soul of photography, the camera still profoundly shapes the images you take – directly, indirectly, even subconsciously. Without compromising on features or performance, the BF’s design cuts out everything that distracts from your interaction with the image. From its aluminum unibody to its simplified controls and streamlined menu, the BF embodies a pure photographic experience free of frustration.

SEAMLESS INTERACTION

The Sigma BF represents a new, more intuitive way to use a camera. It is streamlined to make the act of photography as effortless as possible. We have replaced the shooting mode dial – itself a holdover from the days of film photography – with direct access to the five elements that decide the photograph. Shutter speed, aperture, ISO, EV compensation and color mode are all immediately available at the touch of a finger. The new Status Monitor displays the currently active setting, so the screen provides an unobstructed view of the subject.

CLEAR VIEW

The BF's high-resolution screen provides a distraction-free view of all necessary information – and nothing more. With one simple setting, it shows only the live view image, with the five key elements – shutter speed, aperture, ISO, EV compensation and color mode – displayed when you are ready to press the shutter button. All other options and settings are accessed via just three simple menu screens.

AT A GLANCE

The innovative Status Monitor displays the active setting, highlighting exactly what you need to know without distraction.

TACTILE CONTROL

With just three buttons and a dial pad, the BF’s redesigned user interface makes adjustments instant and intuitive, leaving your attention on the scene and not the settings. As the first mirrorless camera*, the BF features pressure-sensitive haptic buttons, resulting in minimal physical wear while still offering the precise and tactile sensation of conventional mechanical buttons.

*As of February, 2025 by SIGMA.

ENDURING FORM

The BF is designed to last. It is the first camera in history* to feature a true unibody, with each camera carved from a single, solid block of aluminum ingot over the course of seven hours. The weight of its seamless all-metal body harmonizes perfectly with any attached lens, while its shape, button placement and precision-cut front texture guarantee secure handling.

*As of February, 2025 by SIGMA.

DECEPTIVELY POWERFUL

Simplicity does not mean limitation. The Sigma BF is packed with advanced technology to expand your creative possibilities. Its powerful full-frame sensor delivers exceptional image quality, while the fast, reliable hybrid autofocus system keeps subjects in focus.

HIGH RESOLUTION VIDEO

Some stories are best told in moving images. With 6k recording, powerful HEVC encoding, L-Log support and up to 120 frames per second, the Sigma BF provides filmmakers with a nimble, versatile camera to capture and refine their vision.

FULL-FRAME SENSOR

The BF's 35mm full-frame sensor means stunning details, exceptional image quality, wide dynamic range and brilliant low-light performance. The large sensor size also translates to a shallower depth of field to separate subject and background, and allows the use of high-quality full-frame lenses.

INTERNAL STORAGE

The SD card slot is replaced by 230GB of internal memory, capable of storing more than 14 000 JPEG files, 4 300 Lossless compression RAW images or 2.5 hours of video at the highest-quality setting, with the USB-C port offering fast charging and data-transfer speeds.
