Discussions: MT x Lloyd Chambers on the Pentax 645Z and Nikon D810

Lloyd:
That DP2 Quattro… disappointed. Smearing. Ends the Merrill line. Maybe it’s software though (faint hope).
Ming Thein:
I was told from an inside source that new SW and DPP are coming in the next week that should fix it.
Lloyd:
I have not been successful in processing even one image on my Mac Pro with SPP 6. Every edit window pops up off screen.
Ming Thein:
Played with one last couple of days – my printmaster here works with Sigma for various things – I was surprised by how slow it was and how noisy it was, too. Not much improvement over the Merrills that I can see, other than blue color accuracy.
Lloyd:
I have some nice martian rocks for you.
Ming Thein:
Now I’ve lost you.
Lloyd:
SPP 6 leaves developer hooks in… sleep system… hang with password dialog to debug… shoddy work.
Ming Thein:
Is it just me, or do you feel like the first round of consumers are increasingly becoming beta testers these days?
