Sigma DP2 Merrill shots

[Hulyss Bowman]

Exactly my idea, Retow!

Starts to look like the Sigma Merrill thread on the FM forum. Almost no Photographs but a for ever going on nagging thread about the pro's and cons of the camera.

Yes you are right. Lets post photos now

Here we go:
Mannheim harbor district 4:

The quarter is also known as "Jungbush" thats why you find the Bush writing on the graffiti on an old cargo crane used for the mills :

My first pano with the dp2m. No big deal, but check the 100% crop...The camera's a keeper!

Hello & thank you everyone for your contribution to this thread. I recently obtained DP2M and so far very happy with the results I get with the camera.

Solent, from Sandy Point, Hayling Island

This is actually a colour frame but the light was so low in contrast that everything turned monochrome. I enhanced the original frame with soft light in CS3.

Boat, DP2M, F/4, handheld

I took this shot also on the D800E. Quite difficult to chose which is the better shot overall. Slightly more detail in the D800E taken with a Zeiss 21mm lens on a tripod, shot but that is about it.

Quentin, that is gorgeous. If that is about as good as a D800E I know which camera I want to own.

Thanks Louis. There are some other differences, given the different fields of view of the repective lenses etc, but you'd be surprised (or maybe not by now!) how good the DP2M shot is. The D800E is replacing my Hasselblad H4D-50 which gets too lottle use the days. It works well as a studio camera and also to low light stuff, but the DP2M still does its stuff.

I really liked the D800E it is probably the zenith of the DSLR and it is Nikon which I have used and liked in the past. The access to all that fine glass, especially the manual stuff is marvellous for a system. I was all set to sell all my MF gear (even the film stuff) and get one.

Then I got the DP2M and for my kind of photographic interest... well the rest is history.

I'm not even sure I need the DP1M or DP3M as the cropability of the DP2M is increadible (and you can always step back a bit), although I am tempted by the DP3M for macro work.

I have never been so captivated by the possibilities of photography...

I love this image; graphically, texturally, it jumps out for me.

@ Kit: Thank you very much!

This one deserves to be presented solo, I believe

The same abandoned boat in NJ. Remember used to go on that thing on the weekends for dinner.

I thought I'd add some color to the mix.
