Sigma has warned that FP2 and EVF-21 orders in Japan have exceeded its expectations ahead of the camera’s scheduled November 11, 2026 launch. Its October 29 notice says production is not keeping pace with demand and some customers may have to wait longer for delivery.
The notice covers the FP2 body, the 50mm F2 lens kit, the EVF-21 kit and the EVF-21 viewfinder sold separately. It is a Japanese supply notice, rather than confirmation that every retailer worldwide is sold out. Read Sigma’s notice.
The announced launch date is still November 11
Sigma’s international launch announcement gives November 11 as the release date. The supply notice says some deliveries may take longer; it does not announce a replacement launch date. A product launch, a shop receiving its first allocation and an individual customer’s shipment are three different events.
That distinction matters if you have an order in place. Ask your dealer whether its estimate refers to the store’s first shipment or to your specific order. A date on a product page can change without describing where a particular customer sits in the queue.
Body and viewfinder availability need separate checks
The FP2 uses a modular approach: its optional EVF-21 connects through USB-C and offers a tilting eye-level view. Sigma’s camera announcement also describes a tilting rear screen, a 24.5MP partially stacked sensor, 6K OpenGate recording and 70GB of internal storage. Those features explain the camera’s intended flexibility; the order notice alone does not establish how well it performs in use.
For current U.S. listings, see the Sigma FP2 body at B&H and the FP2 with EVF-21 kit at B&H. Check the exact configuration and delivery estimate on the retailer’s page; this article does not guarantee stock.
What to check before changing an order
If you normally compose through a viewfinder, an earlier body-only shipment may not solve your practical problem. If you work from the rear screen or an external monitor, waiting specifically for an EVF kit may matter less. Choose the package around how you intend to shoot, then confirm which items the dealer expects to deliver together.
For a dated assignment, keep a working camera available until the new equipment is in your hands and tested. A supply announcement is a reason to clarify your delivery plan, rather than evidence that you need to switch brands or buy a more expensive kit.
