Sigma DP3M

Great shots in this thread. I wonder how you all cope with seeing the LCD in bright sunlight, at least well enough to frame accurately? At least with the DP2M the view is wide enough to be able to judge quite well what you will get in the frame but I am not so sure about the DP3M. Also, I assume that a monopod or tripod is a given?

That is pure camera porn. If I ever go back to Nikon, I want one! Please inform us when you post some results!

Hey Louis,

Yes this is a great lens ! For reflex system, IMHO, Nikon are the bests (In 24x36 world I mean), this is why I sold all my SD bodys and onlyuse the best of SIGMA : the DP system :)

For the examples with the 50f1.2, got a session yesterday night with a brand new model, at the sunset. The Dp3m worked too. All my Nikon adventure can be seen here (sorry for the of topic) : http://www.getdpi.com/forum/nikon/23306-fun-nikon-images.html

There is no problem to use the screen even in bright sunlight. Just urban legend. This is sure that it can be problematic if you keep your polarized sunglasses on your nose ;) Since I have the DP3m, I never use tripod (will maybe for landscape at 100ISO). I use ISO instead.

I use a hoodman loupe, and a tripod for all long exposures.

First real tests of the DP3M

OK, finally got around to going out just with the DP3M alone. Like its wider sibling it is capable of superb results. Actually, at higher iso I like the way it turns noise into grain. This is better than other cameras which try to dismiss noise as looking like grain, when in fact it is dirty noise.

I like the bokeh on the lens, I can't see it as any different to Leica 50 and 75 lenses I used to own:


Colours straight out of the camera are very nice too (taken under overcast light)


This is an interesting combination of signs, just off London's Brick Lane:


The traditional rag trade of Brick Lane has been supplanted in recent years by new technology:

The Bow River winds it's way along the foot of Castle Mountain in Banff National Park, Alberta. Sometimes the most beautiful views are no work at all. This is taken right alongside the highway that travels through the park about halfway between Banff and Lake Louise.

"At the going down of the sun" - as I left the RAF Museum at Hendon on Friday (June 21st) I managed to catch the sunset on the longest day in line with the static display of the Spitfire. I thought it rather poignant to see the local air cadets practising their 'square bashing' in the background.
