Sigma Aizu, Japan: A journey through our factory

Sigma has put up a video called, Sigma Aizu, Japan: A journey through our factory, which was done to promote and showcase the heart of its craftsmanship and identity. Every Sigma lens, camera, and accessory is made in this manufacturing facility nestled at the foot of Mount Bandai.

There is no commentary or narration and instead it is just a series of shots showing the area in which the factory is located and some of the process es that go into building lenses.
