but not a Q...I hope that Sigma will release an L-mount Foveon camera (preferably with a FF sensor) .....
Great colors. I’m curious if you’ve compared it to your DP3m yet. I’ve thought about trading mine in for the Quattro version so that I could shoot in SFD mode.To celebrate and support Sigma on it's 60th anniversary.....

I bought a dp3 Quattro.
While I have 3 DP Merrills, the SD1 Merrill and a sd Quattro, I have wanted to try a dp Quattro camera. The 75mm eq focal length of the DP3 Merrill really appeals to me, so I picked up a dp3 Quattro with the LVF-01 viewfinder. Took a few test shots, made some prints and I'm happy with the results.

I like the colors also. The dp3Q also captured very fine details in the fabric of the old flag which were nicely presented in a 13x19 inch print I made of that image. I’ve had the camera for less than a week . I haven’t had a chance to take any side by side comparison shots with the DP3M yet. It snowed here last night, so it seems that Fall has come to a quick end. I will try to take some comparison shots in the next week or so and I’ll share them in a separate thread here.Great colors.

Most people simply have not printed large. I used to regularly help photographers print ~24MP images (35mm and APS-C) up to 60". These were mostly full-size proofs for exhibitions. Their reasons against printing that large was not the quality (which they were amazed by), but the framing costs. I can very well imagine that a 20MP Sigma image printed to 25" would be rich.They were sceptical that the detail, colors etc in the 17x25 inch print could have come from an image captured with a 20mp APS-C size sensor camera.
