Sigma SA-7n

Sigma SA-7n

Price (MSRP): $180.00
TYPE: Film SLR


An amateur 35mm film SLR, the SA-9 offers a good basic feature set for an affordable price. It provides all the standard automatic, manual, and priority modes, along with a multiple exposure mode, 3fps continuous shooting, exposure bracketing and compensation, and depth-of-field previewing. However, there are no automatic scene modes or spot meter, and the viewfinder uses a pentamirror and a non-interchangeable focusing screen. On the other hand, the viewfinder includes a diopter, the built-in flash can be used to wirelessly control an external EF-500 Super unit, and the SA-7n can use a fast 1/8000 second flash-sync speed with the EF-500 Super. This camera is also compatible with Sigma's RS-21 wireless remote.
