Sigma expands product warranty to cover hurricane damage from Harvey, Irma and Maria

19 Oct

In a move that’s being praised by the photo community at large, Sigma has temporarily extended its product warranty to cover repairs for damage caused by the hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. The only catch being that Sigma must receive your damaged product before December 31st of this year.

This information comes from a statement Sigma provided to Fstoppers, which is reporting that any products that can’t be repaired will be replaced at a special discounted price that is determined on a case-by-case basis. Repairs and return shipment of the products are provided for free, but customers must provide their sales receipt as proof-of-purchase.

Sigma says that customers who no longer have the receipt should contact the company.

You can read the full statement on Fstoppers.

Video: Man slammed by Hurricane Irma wave while trying to take photos

12 Sep

If you’re a professional, and you’re properly prepared for the assignment, there’s nothing inherently wrong with taking pictures during a hurricane. If, on the other hand, you’re just an amateur wanting to get some ‘cool’ smartphone shots of nature’s fury, you might end up like this guy.

The video above was captured by Google’s webcam from the southernmost point in the United States in Key West, Florida. As you can see, a man was walking around trying to capture a photo of Hurricane Irma as it rolled into the Keys, when mother nature decided to remind him who’s boss. A stray wave comes in and wipes him out, blowing him straight off the ledge he was standing on.

Fortunately, he seems to walk away unscathed, if a bit shaken up by the whole experience.
