Fun with the Sigma fp and fp L

[Michiel Schierbeek]

Could I ask a technical question on this wonderful photo thread?

I'm thinking of getting a (used) fp L for 2 purposes. I shoot film domestically, but digital when travelling internationally (film security is now too much of a hassle). The fp L would be a tremendous very small traveling companion. But as well, I'd sell my Panasonic S1R which is fully devoted to scanning negatives and use the fp L instead. I appreciate that the Sigma has an electronic shutter. Has that posed a problem for anyone shooting with indoor light? Thanks for reading.

It is great for traveling! I never had any problem with it. But then with my style of shooting I wouldn't expect it. I did take photographs of moving people etc and never encountered any problems. I love the camera, small and together with the small contempory lenses it is a dream. I even forgot to use my Fuji GFX 100s for quiet some time. Yesterday I did some indoor ligt shooting wide open with some old lenses. I didn't see a problem.

Those are terrific, Michael! Thanks for those and your comments. Do you use either a handgrip or the external EVF?

Yes I use the EVF and the niceyrig handgrip. See a picture of it in my post on page 2.
